(ii) Floodplains, wetlands, or
municipal watersheds;
(iii) Congressionally designated areas,
such as wilderness, wilderness study
areas, or national recreation areas;
(iv) Inventoried roadless area or
potential wilderness area;
(v) Research natural areas;
(vi) American Indians and Alaska
Native religious or cultural sites; and
(vii) Archaeological sites, or historic
properties or areas.
These resource concerns will be
reviewed by NBRC when applying
Forest Service CEs to determine whether
a proposed action may have the
potential to result in significant
environmental effects. If extraordinary
circumstances are present and cannot be
resolved, NBRC will prepare an EA or
EIS or determine whether the action is
covered under an existing NEPA
document. NBRC’s consideration of
extraordinary circumstances will be
documented consistent with the
approach outlined in Section III,
Documentation of Categorical Exclusion
and Public Notice.
V. Consultation With USFS and NBRC
on CE Adoption
In July, 2025, NBRC and USFS met to
discuss the adoption of aforementioned
categorical exclusions. NBRC’s intended
uses of the CE’s are consistent with the
way USFS has been relying on these
CEs. NBRC explained the way they
intend to rely on the CEs with specific
examples of the projects NBRC is
funding. Following this consultation,
NBRC has determined that its proposed
use of the USFS CEs as described in this
notice is appropriate.
VI. Conclusion
This notice documents adoption of
the Forest Service CEs listed above in
accordance with 42 U.S.C. 4336c(4), and
they are available for use by NBRC,
effective immediately.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC
seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Third Party Testing of
Children’s Products.
OMB Number: 3041–0159.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection
of information for third party testing of
children’s products, which includes: (1)
previously approved burden for marking
and labeling of certain durable infant
and toddler products; (2) the labeling
and recordkeeping requirements (not
covered by the Commission’s third party
testing rule at 16 CFR part 1107) set
forth in the rule establishing
requirements for electrically operated
toys or other electrically operated
articles intended for children (16 CFR
part 1505) (electrically operated toys
and other articles rule); (3)
recordkeeping and labeling
requirements set forth in the ban on
articles known as ‘‘baby bouncers’’ or
‘‘walker-jumpers’’ (baby bouncer/
walker-jumper rule, 16 CFR
1500.18(a)(6) and 1500.86(a)(4)), or
similar articles that are not covered by
the safety standard for infant walkers
(16 CFR part 1216) and that also are not
covered by the third party testing rule
or any other rule issued under section
104 of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act; (4) new children’s
product safety rules promulgated since
the last renewal, including non-toy
children’s products containing button
cell or coin batteries, children’s clothing
storage units, and non-toy children’s
products containing magnets, and (5)
the addition of costs to eFile children’s
product certificates (CPCs) pursuant to
the revision to 16 CFR part 1110 (90 FR
1800 (Jan. 8, 2025)). The Commission
already expanded the scope of OMB
Control No. 3041–0159 when it issued
the final rule to revise part 1110 and the
final rule for button cell or coin
batteries; it is included in this renewal
for completeness. As explained in this
notice, the requirement to eFile most
certificates does not begin until July 8,
2026.
General Description of Collection
Testing and Certification: On
November 8, 2011, the Commission
issued two rules for implementing third
party testing and certification of
E:\FR\FM\11JYN1.SGM

khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
30888
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 131 / Friday, July 11, 2025 / Notices
children’s products, as required by
section 14 of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (CPSA):
• Testing and Labeling Pertaining to
Product Certification (76 FR 69482,
codified at 16 CFR part 1107; the testing
rule); and
• Conditions and Requirements for
Relying on Component Part Testing or
Certification, or Another Party’s
Finished Product Testing or
Certification to Meet Testing and
Certification Requirements (76 FR
69547, codified at 16 CFR part 1109; the
component part rule).
The testing rule establishes
requirements for manufacturers to
conduct initial third party testing and
certification of children’s products,
testing when there has been a material
change in the product, continuing
testing (periodic testing), and guarding
against undue influence. A final rule on
Representative Samples for Periodic
Testing of Children’s Products (77 FR
72205, Dec. 5, 2012) amended the
testing rule to require that
representative samples be selected for
periodic testing of children’s products.
The component part rule is a
companion to the testing rule that is
intended to reduce third party testing
burdens, by providing all parties
involved in the required testing and
certifying of children’s products the
flexibility to conduct or rely upon
testing where testing is the easiest and
least expensive to accomplish.
Certification of a children’s product can
be based upon one or more of the
following: (a) component part testing;
(b) component part certification; (c)
another party’s finished product testing;
or (d) another party’s finished product
certification.
Section 1107.26 of the testing rule
states the records required for testing
and selecting representative samples. 16
CFR 1107.26. Required records include
a certificate and records documenting
third party testing and related sampling
plans. These requirements largely
overlap the recordkeeping requirements
in the component part rule, codified at
16 CFR 1109.5(g). Duplicate
recordkeeping is not required; records
need to be created and maintained only
once to meet the applicable
recordkeeping requirements. The
component part rule also requires
records that enable tracing a product or
component back to the entity that had
a product tested for compliance; the rule
also requires attestations of due care to
ensure test result integrity.
Because these records largely overlap,
for this renewal, CPSC is streamlining
the burden analysis and combining all
recordkeeping for testing and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
certification into one estimate, as
explained further in this notice.
New Children’s Product Rules: Since
the last renewal of this collection of
information, CPSC has issued four
children’s product rules (not including
rules issued under section 104 of the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 CPSIA) that contain testing,
marking, labeling, and certification
requirements for children’s products: (1)
Safety Standard for Clothing Storage
Units (CSUs) (16 CFR part 1261); Safety
Standard for Magnets (16 CFR part
1262) (does not contain labeling
requirements); Safety Standard for
Button Cell or Coin Batteries and
Consumer Products Containing Such
Batteries (Button Battery) (16 CFR part
1263); and (4) Marking of Toy, LookAlike, and Imitation Firearms (16 CFR
part 1272; PRA burden addressed in 16
CFR part 1250). In this renewal the
burden estimate for children’s CSUs and
non-toy children’s products containing
magnets is included in this collection of
information. The Button Battery rule
already expanded this collection of
information to include the certification
and labeling of non-toy children’s
products that contain button batteries,
and it is listed here for completeness.
Toy imitation firearms are already
included in this collection pursuant to
section 4.30 of ASTM F963, as required
in 16 CFR part 1250. The burden
estimate for these new rules is included
in the analysis under the Testing and
Certification.
Section 104 Rules: The Commission
has issued 28 rules for durable infant
and toddler products under section 104
of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA),
codified in 15 U.S.C. 2056a (section 104
rules). Section 104 rules that have been
issued, to date, appear in Table 2. Each
section 104 rule contains requirements
for marking, labeling, and instructional
literature:
• Each product and the shipping
container must have a permanent label
or marking that identifies the name and
address (city, state, and zip code) of the
manufacturer, distributor, or seller.
• A permanent code mark or other
product identification shall be provided
on the product and its package or
shipping container, if multiple
packaging is used. The code will
identify the date (month and year) of
manufacture and permit future
identification of any given model.
Each standard also requires products to
include easy-to-read and
understandable instructions regarding
assembly, maintenance, cleaning, use,
and adjustments, where applicable. See,
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
e.g., sections 8 (marking and labeling)
and 9 (instructional literature) of every
ASTM voluntary standard incorporated
by reference into a CPSC mandatory
standard, as listed in Table 2.
OMB has assigned control numbers
for the estimated burden to comply with
marking and labeling requirements in
each section 104 rule. With this
renewal, CPSC is moving the marking
and labeling burden requirements for
two additional section 104 rules that
have been issued since the last renewal
in 2022, into the collection of
information for Third Party Testing of
Children’s Products (bold font in Table
2). The paperwork burdens associated
with the section 104 rules are
appropriately included in the collection
for Third Party Testing of Children’s
Products because all the section 104
products are also required to be third
party tested. Having all the burden
hours under one collection for
children’s products provides one OMB
control number and eases the
administrative burden of renewing
multiple collections. CPSC will
discontinue using the OMB control
numbers currently assigned to
individual section 104 rules. The
discontinued OMB control numbers are
listed in Table 2.
eFiling Revision to 16 CFR part 1110:
Section 14(a) of the CPSA requires that
manufacturers (including importers)
and private labelers issue certificates for
all consumer products subject to a
consumer product safety rule under the
CPSA, or a similar rule, ban, standard,
or regulation under any other law
enforced by the Commission, that are
imported for consumption or
warehousing or distributed in
commerce. 15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(11)–(12);
15 U.S.C. 2063(a)(1). Children’s
products introduced to the U.S. market
must have a Children’s Product
Certificate (CPC), which, if imported,
must be electronically filed with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection at the
time of filing entry. The final rule
revising part 1110 details the eFiling
requirement and the burden of eFiling
CPCs. 90 FR 1800, 1838–39 (Jan. 8,
2025). For most imported products, the
effective date of this requirement is July
8, 2026. Products imported from a
Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) must comply
with the eFiling requirement by January
8, 2027.
Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles: The requirements for
electrically operated toys and other
electrically operated articles intended
for use by children are set forth in 16
CFR part 1505. The regulation
establishes certain criteria to use in
determining whether electrically

11JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 131 / Friday, July 11, 2025 / Notices
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
operated toys and other electrically
operated children’s products are banned
and requires that certain warning and
identification labeling be included on
both the product and the packaging. The
regulation also requires that
manufacturers establish a quality
assurance program to assure compliance
and to keep records pertaining to the
quality assurance program.
Additionally, manufacturers or
importers must keep records of the sale
and distribution of the products.
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumper Rule:
The requirements for baby bouncers,
baby walkers, and similar articles that
are not covered by 16 CFR part 1216
(Safety Standard for Infant Walkers) are
set forth under 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6) and
1500.86(a)(4). These regulations
establish criteria to use in determining
whether certain baby-bouncers, walkerjumpers, or similar products are banned.
The regulation requires that each
product be labeled with information
that will permit future identification by
the manufacturer of the particular
model of bouncer or walker-jumper. In
addition, manufacturers must maintain
records of sales, distribution, and results
of tests and inspections for three years
and make such records available to
CPSC, upon request. Products covered
under this regulation are not duplicative
of an existing section 104 rule.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers,
private labelers, and importers of
children’s products subject to a
children’s product safety rule.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Testing and Certification of Children’s
Products: Recordkeeping requirements
in parts 1107 and 1109 apply to all
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of children’s products that are
covered by one or more children’s
product safety rules promulgated and/or
enforced by the CPSC.
To estimate the number of
respondents, CPSC staff reviewed every
industry category in the NAICS and
selected industry categories that
included firms that could manufacture
or sell children’s products that are
regulated by CPSC and require testing
and certification. Using data from the
U.S. Census Bureau,1 CPSC determined

ZIP Code Business Patterns, by Legal Form of
Organization and Employment Size Class for the
U.S., States, and Selected Geographies: 2022,
Census—Table Results for Table ID CB2200CBP.
The list of all children’s product safety rules
covered by this burden analysis appears in
Appendix A of the Supporting Statement posted on
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:33 Jul 10, 2025
Jkt 265001
that there were approximately 20,100
manufacturers, about 106,700
wholesalers, and about 263,800 retailers
in these NAICS categories. Accordingly,
there are approximately 390,600 annual
respondents. Note, however, these
categories also include many nonchildren’s products, which are not
covered by any children’s product safety
rules. Therefore, these numbers would
constitute an overestimate of the
number of establishments that are
subject to the PRA requirements and
therefore constitute a high estimate of
the number of firms that are subject to
the recordkeeping requirements. Table 1
sets forth the burden estimate for all
children’s product safety rules that are
not rules under section 104 of the
CPSIA, estimating an average annual
hourly burden of 5,037,900 hours.
Section 104 Rules: Table 2
summarizes the section 104 rules for
durable infant or toddler products
subject to the marking and labeling
requirement that have been or are now
being moved into OMB control number
3041–0159. The two new section 104
rules being moved into this information
collection are shown in bold text. Table
2 also contains the estimated number of
manufacturers and models and the total
respondent hours, estimating 6,338
respondents for section 104 Rules, with
an estimated annual hourly burden of
97,968 hours.
eFiling Requirements: As shown in
Table 3, the final rule to revise part 1110
estimates that 224,000 importers of
children’s products will annually eFile
Children’s Product Certificates (CPCs)
with an estimated annual 209,462
hourly burden. 90 FR 1800, 1838–39
(Table 14).
Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles Rule: CPSC staff estimates that
about 40 entities will respond to this
collection annually.
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumper Rule:
CPSC staff estimates that about six
entities will respond to the testing and
recordkeeping requirements of this
regulation annually.
Estimated Time per Response
Testing and Certification: An average
of three hours per year will be needed
for each response. The PRA burden will
vary greatly from respondent to
respondent, depending upon factors that
are out of CPSC’s control and at the
discretion of the establishment. For
example, respondents that regularly

change their product may spend more
time on testing and certification and the
associated recordkeeping, while
respondents that utilize the component
part rule effectively, or that
continuously manufacture the same
product, may spend less time
responding to the collection.
Section 104 Rules: Each section 104
rule contains a similar analysis for
marking and labeling that estimates the
time to make any necessary changes to
marking and labeling requirements at 1
hour per model. Some section 104 rules
also contain requirements for
instructional literature, and estimates
are included for instructional literature
in this analysis, where required.
eFiling Requirements: The average
filing takes roughly 22 seconds (or
0.0062 hours) across filing modes.
Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles Rule: Products subject to this
regulation are also subject to the
requirements of the testing rule.
Therefore, the burden of any duplicative
recordkeeping requirements will not be
reported here to avoid double-counting
the burden. CPSC staff estimates that the
additional burden imposed by this
regulation over that imposed by the
testing rule is 1.5 hours (30 minutes per
response to maintain sales and
distribution records for recordkeeping,
and 1 hour to make labeling changes).
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumper Rule:
CPSC staff estimates that respondents
will spend 2 hours per response (1 hour
on recordkeeping requirements, and 1
hour on labeling requirements).
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Adding the total estimated
recordkeeping burden for testing and
certification (5,037,900 hours), marking
and labeling for 104 Rules (97,968
hours), eFiling CPCs (209,462 hours),
electrically operated toys (750 hours),
and baby bouncer/walker-jumpers (24
hours) the total estimated annual
burden of the collection is 5,346,104
hours.
At $41.59 (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation,’’ March 2025,
Table 4, total compensation for all sales
and office workers in goods-producing
private industries: https://www.bls.gov/
news.release/archives/ecec_
06132025.htm) hourly compensation
rate, the total cost of the information
collection is approximately $222.3
million (5,346,104 hours × $41.59 =
$222,344,465.36).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC
seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Standard for the Flammability
of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0
Through 6X; and the Standard for the
Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear:
Sizes 7 Through 14.
OMB Number: 3041–0027.
Type of Review: Renewal of
collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and
importers of children’s sleepwear.
General Description of Collection: The
Standard for the Flammability of
Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0 through
6X (16 CFR part 1615) and the Standard
for the Flammability of Children’s
Sleepwear: Sizes 7 through 14 (16 CFR
part 1616) address the fire hazard
associated with small-flame ignition
sources for children’s sleepwear
manufactured for sale in, or imported
into, the United States. The standards
also require manufacturers and
importers of children’s sleepwear to
collect information resulting from
product testing and maintenance of the
testing records. 16 CFR part 1615,
subpart B; 16 CFR part 1616; subpart B.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Based on a review of past inspections
and published industry information,
CPSC staff estimates that there could be
as many as 615 domestic children’s
apparel manufacturers in the United
States subject to the rule. However, not
all these manufacturers will produce
children’s sleepwear. Therefore, this
figure is likely an overestimate of the
actual number of firms responding to
the collection of information in any
given year. Furthermore, using the
Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) codes
for children’s sleepwear, CPSC staff
found approximately 3,641 importers
that supply children’s sleepwear to the
U.S. market. Many of the 615 domestic
manufacturers, along with many large
U.S. retailers, may be among the
importers, so this too could be an
