[Docket No. CPSC-2012-0057]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request--Requirements for Electrically Operated Toys 
and Children's Articles

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (``PRA'') of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Consumer Product 
Safety Commission (``Commission'' or ``CPSC'') announces that the 
Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(``OMB'') a request for extension of approval of a collection of 
information for Electrically Operated Toys or Other Electrically 
Operated Articles Intended for Use by Children (16 CFR part 1505), 
approved previously under OMB Control No. 3041-0035. In the Federal 
Register of November 25, 2015 (80 FR 73738), the CPSC published a 
notice to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of approval 
of the collection of information. The Commission received no comments. 
Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that 
CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of approval of 
that collection of information, without change.

DATES: Written comments on this request for extension of approval of 
information collection requirements should be submitted by March 24, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments about this request by email: 
[email protected] or fax: 202-395-6881. Comments by mail 
should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the CPSC, Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. In addition, 
written comments that are sent to OMB also should be submitted

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information contact: 
Robert H. Squibb, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East-West 
Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301) 504-7815, or by email to: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC has submitted the following currently 
approved collection of information to OMB for extension:
    Title: Requirements for Electrically Operated Toys.
    OMB Number: 3041-0035.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of electrically 
operated toys and other electrically operated articles.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40 firms that manufacture or 
import electrically operated toys and other electrically operated 
articles have been identified; based on manufacturer and importer 
records for sales and distribution of inventory, there are 
approximately 10 models each year per firm for which testing and 
recordkeeping is required resulting in 400 records (40 firms x 10 
models) per year.
    Estimated Time per Response: Based on discussion with a trade 
association for the toy industry, we estimate that the tests required 
by the regulations can be performed on one model in 16 hours and that 
four hours of recordkeeping is required per model. In addition, each 
firm may spend 30 minutes or less per model on labeling requirements.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 6,400 hours for testing burden (16 
hours x 400 records); 1,600 hours for recordkeeping (4 hours x 400 
records); 200 hours for labeling (40 firms x \1/2\ hour x 10 models) 
for a total annual burden of 8,200 hours per year.
    General Description of Collection: The regulations in 16 CFR part 
1505 establish performance and labeling requirements for electrically 
operated toys and children's articles to reduce unreasonable risks of 
injury to children from electric shock, electrical burns, and thermal 
burns associated with those products. Manufacturers and importers of 
electrically operated toys and children's articles are required to 
maintain records for three years on: (1) Material and production 
specifications; (2) the quality assurance program used; (3) results of 
all tests and inspections conducted; and (4) sales and distribution of 
electrically operated toys and children's articles.
