Abstract
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) requests comments on a proposed extension of approval of a generic collection of information for a strength data collection study. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) previously approved the collection of information under control number 3041-0187. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on January 31, 2025. The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting an extension of this collection of information from OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to extend the following currently
approved generic collection of information:
Title: Child Strength Study.
OMB Number: 3041-0187.
Type of Review: Extension of generic collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Child participants and their caregivers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: We estimate 5,210 people will be
invited for the study and 1,563 initial respondents will complete
screening. Out of the initial respondents, 563 are expected to be
screened out or not expected to ultimately participate after the
invitation for study. We estimate that there will be 1,000 participants
for the lab portion of the study.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time to complete a study
session is 2 hours per participant. This does not account for the time
for inviting and screening participants via phone conversations with
the caregiver, which is additional 12 minutes per respondent.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: Based on CPSC's estimates that 5,210
people will be invited for the study (3 minutes per invite), 1,563
initial respondents will complete screening (9 minutes per screening)
and there will be 1,000 participants for the lab portion of the study
(2 hours to complete each study session), CPSC estimates that the total
burden of this collection is 2,267 hours. The average annual burden is
approximately 756 hours; however, because of study timing and
efficiency, a single year could have up to 1,850 burden hours. There
are no costs to respondents and no respondent recordkeeping
requirements associated with the study.
General Description of Collection: CPSC uses data on human strength
and capabilities to develop product safety standards and to inform
other CPSC staff activities. Strength capabilities of children are used
to develop product performance requirements in standards to reduce or
eliminate the risk such products might pose to a child (e.g., breaking,
collapsing, or liberating a small part). The information to be
collected from child participants ranging in age 3 months to 5 years
includes contact and background information necessary to participate in
a study to obtain child strength measures for upper and lower
extremities and bite strength. Written consent is obtained from
caregivers and verbal assent is obtained from children who are old
enough to provide it. Researchers will obtain several standard
anthropometric measurements from each child, including body weight and
standing height. Researchers also record the participant's body shape
using a whole-body laser scanner (VITUS XXL) and a Microsoft Kinect
sensor.
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:
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of
information is accurate;
<bullet> whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected could be enhanced; and
<bullet> 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.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
