SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  CPSC seeks to renew the following currently

    OMB Number: 3041-0161.

    Affected Public: Child care centers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 74 child care centers.

provide the information on the form.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 18.5 hours (.25 hour x 74 child care

    General Description of Collection: CPSC staff intends to visit 
child care centers to measure compliance with the crib safety

``Verification of Compliance Form.'' CPSC investigators or designated 
state or local officials will use the form, which will be filled out 
entirely at the site during the normal course of the visit. The 
Commission will use the information to measure compliance with the crib 
safety standards and to develop an enforcement strategy. A pilot 
program was conducted in 2012, which included visits to approximately 
50 child care centers in six states. Results of the pilot program were 
used to expand the program in 2013, to seven states and 112 
inspections. CPSC conducted the program in 2015, in three states, which 
included 47 inspections. CPSC projects that four states will 
participate in the program in 2016 and approximately 74 inspections 
will be conducted.
