Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request--Baby Bouncers and Walker-Jumpers

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (``PRA'') of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Consumer Product 
Safety Commission (``Commission'' or ``CPSC'') announces that the 
Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(``OMB'') a request for extension of approval of a collection of 
information relating to certain children's articles known as baby-
bouncers and walker-jumpers, approved previously under OMB Control No. 
3041-0019. In the Federal Register of October 26, 2015 (80 FR 65218), 
the CPSC published a notice to announce the agency's intention to seek 
extension of approval of the collection of information. The Commission 
received no comments. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the 
Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for 
extension of approval of that collection of information, without 
change.

DATES: Written comments on this request for extension of approval of 
information collection requirements should be submitted by March 3, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments about this request by email: 
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or fax: 202-395-6881. Comments by mail 
should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the CPSC, Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. In addition, 
written comments that are sent to OMB also should be submitted 
electronically at: https://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-
2012-0034.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information contact: 
Robert H. Squibb, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West 
Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301) 504-7815, or by email to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC has submitted the following currently 
approved collection of information to OMB for extension:
    Title: Ban of Certain Articles Known as Baby-Bouncers or Walker-
Jumpers.
    OMB Number: 3041-0019.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of baby-bouncers or 
walker-jumpers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 33 firms that supply baby-bouncers 
or walker-jumpers to the United States market have been identified; 
there are approximately 4 new models per firm annually.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes/model associated with 
labeling requirements and 1 hour/model associated with recordkeeping 
requirements.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 132 hours on recordkeeping (33 firms 
x 1 hour x 4 models) and 66 hours for labeling (33 firms x \1/2\ hour x 
4 models) for a total annual burden of 198 hours per year.
    General Description of Collection: Under 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6), 
certain articles known as ``baby-bouncers'' and ``walker-jumpers'' that 
are intended to support very young children while sitting, bouncing, 
jumping, and/or reclining, are banned if they are designed in such a 
way that exposed parts present hazards, such as amputation, crushing, 
laceration, fracture, hematoma, bruise, or other injury to fingers, 
toes, or other parts of the anatomy of young children. An exemption 
from the ban is provided at 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(4) if the products are 
designed to guard against or prevent those same injuries. Among other 
requirements, the regulations require manufacturers, including 
importers, to meet the collection of information requirements for 
labeling and recordkeeping requirements.
    Products that are the subject of this information collection are 
distinguishable from the infant bouncer seats that are the subject of 
the Commission's recent proposed safety standard on infant bouncer 
seats at 80 FR 63168 (Oct. 19, 2015). Infant bouncer seats described in 
the Commission's proposed standard are intended to hold young infants 
that cannot sit up unassisted in a reclined position (approximately 0 
to 6 months of age). The products subject to this information 
collection are typically described as doorway jumpers, and allow the 
child to jump in place. Such products are intended for use with 
children that are beginning to develop leg strength to aid in learning 
to walk.

    Dated: January 27, 2016.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
