Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 148 / Thursday, August 1, 2019 / Notices C. Submission to OMB Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. On April 8, 2019, the CPSC published a notice of the proposed collection in the Federal Register. (84 FR 13912). The CPSC did not receive any comments. However, CPSC staff made a few editorial changes to the survey to fix typographical errors (e.g., revise ‘‘SafeProducts.gov’’ to ‘‘SaferProducts.gov’’), and included a few clarifying questions in the survey, such as whether the children in the home ever climb and/or pull on furniture? (e.g., dressers, bookshelves),’’ and whether the participant ever saw an ad/news story/public service announcement about anchoring furniture. These questions merely serve to make the existing questions in the survey more clear and understandable for participants, and do not otherwise alter or expand the scope of the survey instrument. Accordingly, the CPSC has submitted the proposed collection to OMB. A copy of the proposed survey titled ‘‘PRA Anchor It Survey OMB Submittal’’ is available at: www.regulations.gov under Docket No. CPSC–2019–0005, Supporting and Related Material. Alberta E. Mills, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
