Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 83536 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 229 / Thursday, November 30, 2023 / Notices that children’s play behaviors with these toy categories have not been thoroughly examined, this research is an initial exploration of the types of play behaviors children of different age groups exhibit when interacting with the selected toys. Researchers will gather information by observing children’s play patterns in a laboratory setting and noting how they interact with selected toys. The controlled laboratory setting will allow researchers to explore developmental differences in play patterns among the age groups. Additionally, the duration of each session provides the researchers an opportunity to observe naturalistic play behaviors without rushing the child through interacting with the toy. Researchers will code and summarize observation data while the child is interacting with the toy. Researchers will tabulate descriptive statistics to identify the universe of behaviors for each age group and toy, and, when possible, compare children’s play with toys that are intended for their age, versus toys that are intended for children either older or younger. Collecting this data will add to the available information about toys in six toy categories and inform potential next steps in the age-grading process. Because pilot testing per pair could be up to a maximum of 80 minutes for each session, CPSC is calculating the overall possible information collection participant burden based upon a 160minute maximum burden. Researchers determined the duration of sessions to balance adequate time for observation, needed breaks for the child, and not overburdening the child. The commenter expressed concern that ‘‘Each child would only be evaluated regarding 4 of the 6 different toy categories.’’ In fact, the researchers will introduce children to selected toys from 6 toy categories (smart toys, takeapart vehicles, musical instruments, figurines, plush toys with electronic components, and manipulatives) in each of the sessions. During the first session they will be introduced to 4 toys and during the second session they will be introduced to 5 toys, for a total of 9 toys. The order in which the toys are presented will be randomized to preclude the effects of fatigue and learning from one toy to the next.
