Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 245 / Monday, December 21, 2020 / Notices
CPSC may conduct research, studies,
and investigations on the safety of
consumer products, or test consumer
products and develop product safety
test methods and testing devices.
In 2019, the CPSC published the 2019
Nursery Product Annual Report, which
reported injuries and deaths associated
with nursery products among children
younger than age 5.1 That report
identified 320 deaths related to nursery
products from 2014 through 2016. Infant
sleep products were associated with the
most deaths: cribs/mattresses (33%),
cradles/bassinets (18%), and playpens/
play yards (20%). Also, in 2019, CPSC
conducted a focus group of 48
participants to gather feedback from
parents and grandparents (caregivers) on
their beliefs, experience, and
perceptions about infant sleeping
practices and caregivers’ compliance
with safety messaging on nursery
products. Caregiver responses in the
focus group study indicated limited
adherence to infant sleep safety warning
messaging.2 Some of the reasons for lack
of adherence to safety warnings include
caregiver perceptions that warning
labels contain repetitive, non-specific
information that fails to target the safety
hazard. Additionally, caregivers are
inundated with safety messaging that
changes constantly, resulting in
ambiguity about what messages are most
relevant and current. Product marketing
and the proliferation of new products
may confuse caregivers as well.
Caregivers often end up listening to
friends and family, or relying on past
experience, to decide what behaviors
are safe for their child, rather than
following the current guidelines
recommended by experts. If caregivers
are not attuned to the safety messaging
on new products, they are more likely
to use the products incorrectly.
Accordingly, CPSC seeks to learn
more about consumers’ understanding
of specific warning labels related to
products that may be used as a sleeping
environment for infants and how those
labels influence caregivers’ behavior. In
the proposed information collection,
CPSC seeks to survey 650 caregivers to
obtain information regarding the gap in
consumer knowledge about product
warning labels and consumer adherence
to, and behaviors associated with,
warning labels. The online survey will
be conducted with caregivers age 18 and
above, who are a parent or grandparent

with a child/grandchild between 2
months to 11 months old.
CPSC has contracted with Fors Marsh
Group, LLC, to develop and execute this
project for CPSC. If CPSC can obtain
information about caregiver perceptions
and comprehension of warning label
language through the survey, CPSC will
be able to identify better which types of
safety warning labels and safety
messaging are unclear to the target
audience, and that potentially serve as
a barrier to safe sleep. Information
obtained through this survey is not
intended to be considered nationally
representative. CPSC intends to use
findings from this survey, in
conjunction with findings from other
research and activities, to assist with
providing recommendations for refining
and enhancing warning labels in the
future.
B. Burden Hours
We estimate the number of
respondents to the survey to be 650. The
online survey for the proposed study
will take approximately 15 minutes
(0.25 hours) to complete. We estimate
the total annual burden hours for
respondents to be 162.50 hours. The
monetized hourly cost is $36.22, as
defined by total compensation for all
civilian workers, U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation, as of March 2020.
Accordingly, we estimate the total cost
burden to be $5,885.75 (162.50 hours
multi; $36.22). The total cost to the
federal government for the contract to
design and conduct the proposed survey
is $150,987.
C. Request for Comments
CPSC invites comments on these
topics:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of CPSC’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of CPSC’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
