    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of baby-bouncers or

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 33 firms that supply baby-bouncers 
or walker-jumpers to the United States market have been identified; 
there are approximately 4 new models per firm annually.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes/model associated with

    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 132 hours on recordkeeping (33 firms 
x 1 hour x 4 models) and 66 hours for labeling (33 firms x \1/2\ hour x

    General Description of Collection: Under 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6), 
certain articles known as ``baby-bouncers'' and ``walker-jumpers'' 
which are intended to support very young children while sitting, 
bouncing, jumping, and/or reclining, are banned if they are designed in 
such a way that exposed parts present hazards such as amputation, 
crushing, laceration, fracture, hematoma, bruise, or other injury to 
fingers, toes, or other parts of the anatomy of young children. An 
exemption from the ban is provided at 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(4) if the 
products are designed to guard against or prevent those same injuries. 
Among other requirements, the regulations require manufacturers, 
including importers, to meet the collection of information requirements 
for labeling and recordkeeping requirements.
    Products that are the subject of this information collection are 
distinguishable from the infant bouncer seats that are the subject of 
the

[[Page 65219]]

Commission's recent proposed safety standard on infant bouncer seats at 
80 FR 63168 (Oct. 19, 2015). Infant bouncer seats described in the 
Commission's proposed standard are intended to hold young infants that 
cannot sit up unassisted in a reclined position (approximately 0 to 6 
months of age). Comments related to the Paperwork Reduction Act on the 
proposed safety standard for infant bouncer seats should be directed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the Office of 
Management and Budget, Attn: CPSC Desk Officer, FAX: 202-395-6974, or 
emailed to [email protected].
    The products subject to this information collection are typically 
described as baby walkers, and allow the child to jump in place or 
assist with walking. Such products are intended for use with children 
that are beginning to develop leg strength to aid in learning to walk. 
Comments on the information collection requirements for these products 
should be submitted through the process outlined in the Addresses 
section above.

Request for Comments

    The Commission solicits written comments from all interested 
persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission 
specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:

--Whether the collection of information described above is necessary 
for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including 
whether the information would have practical utility;
--Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of 
information is accurate;
--Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected could be enhanced; and
--Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be 
minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological 
collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
