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

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.
