and labelling requirements set forth in
the ban on articles known as ‘‘baby
bouncers’’ or ‘‘walker-jumpers,’’ or
similar articles that are not covered by
16 CFR part 1216 and that are not also
covered by the testing rule or the rules
issued under section 104 of the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act (baby bouncer/walker-jumper rule,
16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6) and 1500.86(a)(4)).
General Description of Collection
Testing and Certification: On
November 8, 2011, the Commission
issued two rules for implementing third
party testing and certification of
children’s products, as required by
section 14 of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (CPSA):
• Testing and Labeling Pertaining to
Product Certification (76 FR 69482,
codified at 16 CFR part 1107; the testing
rule); and
• Conditions and Requirements for
Relying on Component Part Testing or
Certification, or Another Party’s
Finished Product Testing or
Certification to Meet Testing and
Certification Requirements (76 FR
69547, codified at 16 CFR part 1109; the
component part rule).
The testing rule establishes
requirements for manufacturers to
conduct initial third party testing and
certification of children’s products,
testing when there has been a material
change in the product, continuing
testing (periodic testing), and guarding
against undue influence. A final rule on
Representative Samples for Periodic
Testing of Children’s Products (77 FR
72205, Dec. 5, 2012) amended the
testing rule to require that
representative samples be selected for
periodic testing of children’s products.
The component part rule, a
companion to the testing rule, is
intended to reduce third party testing
burdens by providing all parties
involved in the required testing and
certifying of children’s products the
flexibility to conduct or rely upon
testing that is the easiest and least
expensive. Certification of a children’s
product can be based upon one or more
of the following: (a) Component part
testing; (b) component part certification;
(c) another party’s finished product
testing; or (d) another party’s finished
product certification.
Section 1107.26 of the testing rule
states the records required for testing
and selecting representative samples,
including a certificate, and records
documenting third party testing and
related sampling plans. 16 CFR 1107.26.
These requirements largely overlap the
recordkeeping requirements in the
component part rule, codified at 16 CFR

E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM

07JNN1

jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES

26654

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 110 / Friday, June 7, 2019 / Notices

1109.5(g). Duplicate recordkeeping is
not required; records need to be created
and maintained only once to meet the
applicable recordkeeping requirements.
The component part rule also requires
records that enable tracing a product or
component back to the entity that had
a product tested for compliance. The
rule also requires attestations of due
care to ensure test result integrity.
Section 104 Rules: The Commission
has issued 22 rules for durable infant
and toddler products under section 104
of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA)
(section 104 rules). Section 104 rules
issued to date appear in Table 1. Each
section 104 rule contains requirements
for marking, labeling, and instructional
literature:
• Each product and the shipping
container must have a permanent label
or marking that identifies the name and
address (city, state, and zip code) of the
manufacturer, distributor, or seller.
• A permanent code mark or other
product identification shall be provided
on the product and its package or
shipping container, if multiple
packaging is used. The code will
identify the date (month and year) of
manufacture and permit future
identification of any given model.
Each standard also requires products
to include easy-to-read and understand
instructions regarding assembly,
maintenance, cleaning, use, and
adjustments, where applicable.
OMB has assigned control numbers
for the estimated burden to comply with
marking and labeling requirements in
each section 104 rule. With this
renewal, CPSC is moving the marking
and labeling burden requirements for
eight (8) additional section 104 rules
issued since the last renewal in 2016
into the collection of information for
Third Party Testing of Children’s
Products. The paperwork burdens
associated with the section 104 rules are
appropriately included in the collection
for Third Party Testing of Children’s
Products because all of the section 104
products are also required to be third
party tested. Having all of the burden
hours under one collection for
children’s products provides one OMB
control number and eases the
administrative burden of renewing
multiple collections. CPSC will
discontinue using the OMB control
numbers currently assigned to
individual section 104 rules. The
discontinued OMB control numbers are
listed in Table 1.

Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles: The requirements for
electrically operated toys and other
electrically operated articles intended
for use by children are set forth in 16
CFR part 1505. The regulation
establishes certain criteria to use in
determining whether electrically
operated toys and other electrically
operated children’s products are
banned, and requires that certain
warning and identification labeling be
included on both the product and the
packaging. The regulation also requires
that manufacturers establish a quality
assurance program to assure compliance
and to keep records pertaining to the
quality assurance program.
Additionally, manufacturers or
importers must keep records of the sale
and distribution of the products.
CPSC currently has an OMB control
number (3041–0035) for the estimated
burden in complying with the
requirements for electrically operated
toys and other articles. Because most of
the recordkeeping requirements in this
information collection are essentially
the same as those of the testing rule,
with this renewal, we are moving the
marking and labeling burden
requirement into the collection of
information for Third Party Testing of
Children’s Products to avoid doublecounting the burden. If this renewal
request is approved, CPSC will request
termination of the existing OMB control
number for this information collection.
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumper Rule:
The requirements for baby bouncers,
baby walkers, and similar articles that
are not covered by 16 CFR part 1216
(Safety Standard for Infant Walkers) is
set forth under 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6) and
1500.86(a)(4). The regulation establishes
certain criteria to use in determining
whether certain baby-bouncers, walkerjumpers, or similar products are banned.
The regulation requires that each
product be labelled with information
that will permit future identification by
the manufacturer of the particular
model of bouncer or walker-jumper. In
addition, records of sale, distribution,
and results of tests and inspections must
be kept for three years and made
available to CPSC upon request.
Products covered under this regulation
are not duplicative of an existing section
104 rule.
CPSC currently has an OMB control
number (3041–0035) for the estimated
burden in complying with the
requirements in this regulation. Because
most of the recordkeeping requirements

in this information collection are
essentially the same as those of the
testing rule, with this renewal, we are
moving the recordkeeping requirements
into the collection of information for
Third Party Testing of Children’s
Products to avoid double-counting the
burden. If this renewal request is
approved, CPSC will request
termination of the existing OMB control
number for this information collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and
importers of children’s products subject
to a children’s product safety rule.
Estimated Number of Respondents
Testing and Certification:
Recordkeeping requirements in parts
1107 and 1109 apply to all
manufacturers or importers of children’s
products that are covered by one or
more children’s product safety rules
promulgated and/or enforced by the
CPSC. To estimate the number of
respondents, we reviewed every
industry category in the NAICS and
selected those industry categories that
included firms that could manufacture
or sell such children’s products. Using
data from the U.S. Census Bureau, we
determined that there are more than
37,000 manufacturers, almost 80,000
wholesalers, and about 128,000 retailers
in these categories. However, not all of
the firms in these categories
manufacture or import children’s
products that are covered by children’s
product safety rules. Therefore, these
numbers would constitute a high
estimate of the number of firms that are
subject to the recordkeeping
requirements. Accordingly, when
calculating the recordkeeping burden,
CPSC relies on estimates of the number
of children’s products that are
manufactured or imported. We estimate
that approximately 300,000 non-apparel
children’s products and approximately
1.2 million children’s apparel and
footwear products are covered by the
rules.
Section 104 Rules: Table 1
summarizes the section 104 rules for
durable infant and toddler products
subject to the marking and labeling
requirement that have been or are now
being moved into OMB control number
3041–0159. Table 1 contains the
estimated number of manufacturers and
models and the total respondent hours.
The 8 new section 104 rules being
moved into this information collection
are shown in bold text.

Estimated Time per Response
Testing and Certification: Based on
the comments we received on the
proposed testing rule, we revised the
estimated number of children’s products
that are affected, as well as the hourly
recordkeeping burden estimate. We
estimate that approximately 300,000
non-apparel children’s products are
covered by the rule and that an average
of 5 hours will be needed for the
recordkeeping associated with these
products per year. We also estimate that
there are approximately 1.2 million
children’s apparel and footwear
products, for which an average of 3
hours of recordkeeping will be required
per year. Manufacturers that are
required to conduct periodic testing
have an additional recordkeeping
burden estimated at 4 hours per
representative sampling plan.
Section 104 Rules: Each section 104
rule contains a similar analysis for
marking and labeling that estimates the
time to make any necessary changes to

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:13 Jun 06, 2019

Jkt 247001

marking and labeling requirements at
one hour per model.
Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles: Products subject to this
regulation are also subject to the
requirements of the testing rule.
Therefore, the burden of any duplicative
recordkeeping requirements will not be
reported here, as they were in the
cancelled information collection, to
avoid double-counting the burden.
CPSC staff estimates that the additional
burden imposed by this regulation over
that imposed by the testing rule, is 30
minutes per product to maintain sales
and distribution records for 3 years, and
1 hour to make labeling changes per
model.
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumpers: CPSC
staff estimates that firms will spend 1
hour per model on recordkeeping
requirements, and 1 hour per model on
labeling requirements.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Testing and Certification: The total
estimated annual burden for
recordkeeping associated with the
testing rule is 5.1 million hours (300,000
non-apparel children’s products × 5
hours per non-apparel children’s
product + 1,200,000 children’s apparel
products × 3 hours per children’s
apparel product = 1.5 million hours +
3.6 million hours, or a total of 5.1
million hours). Potential additional

PO 00000

Frm 00015

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

annual burden associated with use of a
representative sampling plan and
component part testing are described
next.
Representative Sampling Plans for
Periodic Testing: We estimate that if
each product line averages 50
individual models or styles, then a total
of 30,000 individual representative
sampling plans (1.5 million children’s
products ÷ 50 models or styles) would
need to be developed and documented.
This would require 120,000 hours
(30,000 plans × 4 hours per plan). If
each product line averages 10
individual models or styles, then a total
of 150,000 different representative
sampling plans (1.5 million children’s
products ÷ 10 models or styles) would
need to be documented. This would
require 600,000 hours (150,000 plans ×
4 hours per plan). Accordingly, the
requirement to document the basis for
selecting representative samples could
increase the estimated annual burden by
up to 600,000 hours.
Component Part Testing: The
component part rule shifts some testing
costs and some recordkeeping costs to
component part and finished product
suppliers, because some testing will be
performed by these parties, rather than
by the finished product certifiers
(manufacturers and importers). Even if a
finished product certifier can rely
entirely on component part and finished

E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM

07JNN1

jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES

26656

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 110 / Friday, June 7, 2019 / Notices

product suppliers for all required
testing, the finished product supplier
will still have some recordkeeping
burden to create and maintain a finished
product certificate. Therefore, although
the component part testing rule may
reduce the total cost of the testing
required by the testing and certification
rule, the rule increases the estimated
annual recordkeeping burden for those
who choose to use component part
testing.
Because we do not know how many
companies participate in component
part testing and supply test reports or
certifications to other certifiers in the
supply chain, we have no concrete data
to estimate the recordkeeping and third
party disclosure requirements in the
component part rule. Likewise, no clear
method exists for estimating the number
of finished product certifiers who
conduct their own component part
testing. In the component part
rulemaking, we suggested that the
recordkeeping burden for the
component part testing rule could
amount to 10 percent of the burden
estimated for the testing and labeling
rule. 76 FR 69546, 69579 (Nov. 8, 2011).
Currently, we have no basis to change
this estimate.
In addition to recordkeeping, the
component part rule requires third party
disclosure of test reports and
certificates, if any, to a certifier who
intends to rely on such documents to
issue its own certificate. Without data,
allocation of burden estimation between
the recordkeeping and third party
disclosure requirements is difficult.
However, based on our previous
analysis, we continue to estimate that
creating and maintaining records
accounts for approximately 90 percent
of the burden, while the third party
disclosure burden is much less, perhaps
approximately 10 percent. Therefore, if
we continue to use the estimate that
component part testing will amount to
about 10 percent of the burden
estimated for the testing rule, then the
hour burden of the component part rule
is estimated to be about 510,000 hours
total annually (10% of 5.1 million
hours), allocating 459,000 hours for
recordkeeping and 51,000 hours for
third party disclosure.
Section 104 Rules: The burden for
marking and labeling for each section
104 rule is provided in Table 1. The
estimated total number of respondent
hours is 13,790.
Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles Rule: Assuming each of the 40
firms produces 10 new models per year,
the estimated annual burden is 200
hours for recordkeeping (40 firms × .5
hour × 10 models) and 400 hours for

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:13 Jun 06, 2019

Jkt 247001

labeling changes (40 firms × 1 hour × 10
models), for a total estimated annual
burden of 600 hours.
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumper Rule:
Firms are expected to test, on average,
four new models per year. Accordingly,
the estimated annual burden is 12 hours
on recordkeeping (6 firms × 1 hour × 2
models), and 12 hours on labeling (6
firms × 1 hour × 2 models), for a total
estimated annual burden of 24 hours per
year.
