Notice and opportunity for
public comment.
ACTION:
The Economic Development
Administration (EDA) has received
petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
SUMMARY:
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States
of articles like or directly competitive
with those produced by each of the
firms contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of the firms’
workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

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

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). The total cost to the federal
government for the contract to design
and conduct the proposed survey is
$152,712.

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.

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. 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 $48,250 (1,250 hours ×
$38.60). The total cost to the federal
