SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency data-collection studies and surveys. Agencies must provide notice of the proposed collection of information in the Federal Register, and provide a 60-day comment period, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). Agencies then must evaluate any public comments and publish another notice in the Federal Register. Id. 3507(a)(1). In accordance with these procedures, on June 24, 2021, CPSC published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the agency’s intent to seek approval of a new collection of information on a survey on the Toy Warning Labels Online Survey. 86 FR 33239. Section B. Comments, below, VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Nov 05, 2021 Jkt 256001 summarizes and addresses the comments CPSC received. A. Toy Warning Labels Online Survey CPSC is authorized under section 5(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to conduct studies and investigations relating to the causes and prevention of deaths, accidents, injuries, illnesses, other health impairments, and economic losses associated with consumer products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that CPSC may conduct research, studies, and investigations on the safety of consumer products, and develop product safety test methods and testing devices. In 2020, CPSC conducted an Online Shopping Focus Group with 40 participants, which was approved under OMB Control No. 3041–0136. In-depth interviews were conducted with primary caregivers (parent or guardian) of young children ages 3 to 6 years old, to gather feedback on the caregivers’ understanding, perceptions, and attitudes toward online toy safety messaging. Caregiver responses in the focus group study indicated that typically, they do not look for warning labels on web pages when shopping for toys on e-commerce websites. Some of the reasons for their failure to look for the warning labels may be the lack of prominent visibility of the safety information on consumer web pages, or because the warning labels were not particularly noticeable, or easy to find. These findings suggest that improving the location or design of warning labels may help caregivers become more aware and informed about the potential safety risks associated with products intended for young children. CPSC seeks to learn more about caregivers’ understanding and awareness of warning labels for toys intended for children 2 to 6 years old. This proposed survey will augment the work conducted in the focus group, through an online survey. The proposed survey will be directed to caregivers who have purchased a toy from an ecommerce website for a 2- to 6-year-old child and assess how these caregivers interpret and adhere to safety warnings when purchasing toys for their child. CPSC will use this information to develop strategies and best-practice approaches for recommending where and how safety warnings for children’s products should be displayed to get caregivers’ attention when shopping online for children’s toys or products. CPSC has contracted with Fors Marsh Group, LLC, to develop and execute this project for CPSC. Information obtained PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61757 through this survey is not intended to be considered nationally representative. CPSC intends to use findings from this survey, with findings from other research and activities, to assist with providing recommendations for refining and enhancing warning labels in the future, to convey critical information effectively about product safety warnings for online sellers. B. Comments CPSC received one comment in response to the June 24, 2021 notice. The commenter stated support for the research. However, the commenter raised a concern that the small sample size of 250 will not provide enough information and stated that an increased sample size, such as 500, would provide more insights. Commenter also suggested making efforts to get a diverse range of shoppers in the sample, in terms of income, race, and other demographic information, as well as in terms of familiarity with shopping and purchasing online. The commenter expressed the belief that first-time shoppers for an online children’s product will have different responses from regular online shoppers. Furthermore, the commenter recommends that CPSC, while conducting the survey, seek information on different types of products that parents shop for online. CPSC considered the comment and modified the survey to increase the sample size of the survey from 250 to 750 participants. The survey will screen participants to ensure the selection of a sample that varies on income, education, caregiver age, age of their child(ren), and other parameters. The panel provider will also monitor respondents to ensure that underserved populations are represented in the sample and that insights are collected from a diverse population. Although the survey instrument will differentiate results between first-time and regular online shoppers, the purpose of the survey is to gather feedback on the caregivers’ understanding, perceptions, and attitudes toward online toy safety messaging information, rather than on the different types of products parents shop for online. However, the Commission may consider additional research to collect this information in the future. C. Burden Hours We revised the estimate of the number of respondents to the survey from 250 to 750 participants. The online survey for the proposed study will take approximately 15 minutes (0.25 hours) to complete. We estimate the total E:\FR\FM\08NON1.SGM 08NON1 61758 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 213 / Monday, November 8, 2021 / Notices annual burden hours for respondents to be 187.50 hours. The monetized hourly cost is $38.60, as defined by total compensation for all civilian workers, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, as of December 2020. Accordingly, we estimate the total cost burden to be $7,237.50 (187.50 hours × $38.60).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 26, 2021, the Commission published notice of the proposed collection on the hazard warning communication survey. 86 FR 40018. The Commission did not receive any comments. Accordingly, the Commission announces that it has submitted to the OMB a request for approval of this collection, without change. A. Hazard Warning Communication Survey CPSC is authorized under section 5(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to conduct studies and investigations relating to the causes and prevention of deaths, accidents, injuries, illnesses, other health impairments, and economic losses associated with consumer products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that CPSC may conduct research, studies, and investigations on the safety of consumer products, and develop product safety test methods and testing devices. CPSC proposes to conduct an online survey to gather data on consumer risk perception and response to hazard communications from 5,000 respondents. The study population will be comprised of individuals age 18 and over from across the United States. In this proposed survey, CPSC seeks information about consumer product use, including, but not limited to, the following topics: • Consumers’ beliefs, experiences, and tendencies regarding product safety; • whether consumers pay attention to instructions that come with products; • whether consumers read safety information and labels; • to what extent consumers comply with safety messages; • how product type influences consumers’ attitude and behavior; • what information resources consumers rely on before buying a product; • how product safety ranks among other factors consumers consider; • reasons consumers comply or do not comply with the safety messages; and • how consumers respond if they encounter a safety recall of the product they own. PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 CPSC has contracted with Carahsoft/ Qualtrics to develop and execute this project for CPSC. Information obtained through this survey is not intended to be considered nationally representative. The panel provider will monitor respondents, and if a particular demographic is trending highly, the panel provider will slow down the sample for that segment and will focus on obtaining responses from others to ensure recruitment for U.S. censusmatched survey participants from the Midwest, Northeast, South, and West regions. The panel provider will also monitor respondents to ensure that underserved populations are represented in the sample and that insights are collected from a diverse population. CPSC intends to use the study findings to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms and types of safety messages that consumers receive, how they respond, and what affects their response. Specifically, responses to the items in this survey will provide CPSC staff with information on whether consumers read and comply with various types of safety information that comes with products they use; the causes of consumer noncompliance with product safety information; whether consumers share product safety information with other users of their products; what sources of information they rely on to decide if a product is safe to use; whether safety is a priority in their purchasing decisions; how they responded to safety notices and recalls in the past; reasons for noncompliance with safety notices and recalls; and if and how the product type affects their risk perception and behaviors. Findings from this survey will provide CPSC with information on ways to increase consumer understanding of, and adherence to, safety messaging and help CPSC develop more effective messaging that will convey critical information about product hazards. B. Burden Hours We estimate the number of respondents to the survey to be 5,000. 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 1,250 hours.

    In accordance with these procedures, on June 24, 2021, CPSC 
published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the agency's 
intent to seek approval of a new collection of information on a survey 
on the Toy Warning Labels Online Survey. 86 FR 33239. Section B. 
Comments, below, summarizes and addresses the comments CPSC received.

A. Toy Warning Labels Online Survey

    CPSC is authorized under section 5(a) of the Consumer Product 
Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to conduct studies and 
investigations relating to the causes and prevention of deaths, 
accidents, injuries, illnesses, other health impairments, and economic 
losses associated with consumer products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15 
U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that CPSC may conduct research, 
studies, and investigations on the safety of consumer products, and 
develop product safety test methods and testing devices.
    In 2020, CPSC conducted an Online Shopping Focus Group with 40 
participants, which was approved under OMB Control No. 3041-0136. In-
depth interviews were conducted with primary caregivers (parent or 
guardian) of young children ages 3 to 6 years old, to gather feedback 
on the caregivers' understanding, perceptions, and attitudes toward 
online toy safety messaging. Caregiver responses in the focus group 
study indicated that typically, they do not look for warning labels on 
web pages when shopping for toys on e-commerce websites. Some of the 
reasons for their failure to look for the warning labels may be the 
lack of prominent visibility of the safety information on consumer web 
pages, or because the warning labels were not particularly noticeable, 
or easy to find. These findings suggest that improving the location or 
design of warning labels may help caregivers become more aware and 
informed about the potential safety risks associated with products 
intended for young children.
    CPSC seeks to learn more about caregivers' understanding and 
awareness of warning labels for toys intended for children 2 to 6 years 
old. This proposed survey will augment the work conducted in the focus 
group, through an online survey. The proposed survey will be directed 
to caregivers who have purchased a toy from an e-commerce website for a 
2- to 6-year-old child and assess how these caregivers interpret and 
adhere to safety warnings when purchasing toys for their child. CPSC 
will use this information to develop strategies and best-practice 
approaches for recommending where and how safety warnings for 
children's products should be displayed to get caregivers' attention 
when shopping online for children's toys or products.
    CPSC has contracted with Fors Marsh Group, LLC, to develop and 
execute this project for CPSC. Information obtained through this survey 
is not intended to be considered nationally representative. CPSC 
intends to use findings from this survey, with findings from other 
research and activities, to assist with providing recommendations for 
refining and enhancing warning labels in the future, to convey critical 
information effectively about product safety warnings for online 
sellers.

B. Comments

    CPSC received one comment in response to the June 24, 2021 notice. 
The commenter stated support for the research. However, the commenter 
raised a concern that the small sample size of 250 will not provide 
enough information and stated that an increased sample size, such as 
500, would provide more insights. Commenter also suggested making 
efforts to get a diverse range of shoppers in the sample, in terms of 
income, race, and other demographic information, as well as in terms of 
familiarity with shopping and purchasing online. The commenter 
expressed the belief that first-time shoppers for an online children's 
product will have different responses from regular online shoppers. 
Furthermore, the commenter recommends that CPSC, while conducting the 
survey, seek information on different types of products that parents 
shop for online.
    CPSC considered the comment and modified the survey to increase the 
sample size of the survey from 250 to 750 participants. The survey will 
screen participants to ensure the selection of a sample that varies on 
income, education, caregiver age, age of their child(ren), and other 
parameters. The panel provider will also monitor respondents to ensure 
that underserved populations are represented in the sample and that 
insights are collected from a diverse population. Although the survey 
instrument will differentiate results between first-time and regular 
online shoppers, the purpose of the survey is to gather feedback on the 
caregivers' understanding, perceptions, and attitudes toward online toy 
safety messaging information, rather than on the different types of 
products parents shop for online. However, the Commission may consider 
additional research to collect this information in the future.

C. Burden Hours

    We revised the estimate of the number of respondents to the survey 
from 250 to 750 participants. The online survey for the proposed study 
will take approximately 15 minutes (0.25 hours) to complete. We 
estimate the total

[[Page 61758]]

annual burden hours for respondents to be 187.50 hours. The monetized 
hourly cost is $38.60, as defined by total compensation for all 
civilian workers, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employer Costs for 
Employee Compensation, as of December 2020. Accordingly, we estimate 
the total cost burden to be $7,237.50 (187.50 hours x $38.60). The 
total cost to the federal government for the contract to design and 
conduct the proposed survey is $152,712.
