Title: Safety Standard for MultiPurpose Lighters—16 CFR part 1212 

(OMB Control Number 3041–0130— 

Extension). 

Description: Section 14(a)(1) of the 

CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2063(a)) requires 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of a consumer product subject 

to a consumer product safety standard 

under the Consumer Product Safety Act 

(‘‘CPSA’’) or similar rule, ban, standard, 

or regulation under any other act 

enforced by the Commission to issue a 

certificate stating that the product 

complies with all applicable rules, bans, 

standards or regulations. 

Section 14(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 

2063(b)) authorizes the Commission to 

issue regulations to prescribe a 

reasonable testing program to support 

certificates of compliance with a 

consumer product safety standard under 

the CPSA or similar rule, ban, standard, 

or regulation under any other act 

enforced by the Commission. Section 

16(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2065(b)) 

authorizes the Commission to issue 

rules to require that firms establish and 

maintain records to permit the 

Commission to determine compliance 

with rules issued under the authority of 

the CPSA. 

The Commission has issued 

regulations prescribing requirements for 

a reasonable testing program to support 

certificates of compliance with the 

standard for multi-purpose lighters. 

These regulations require manufacturers 

and importers to submit a description of 

each model of lighter, results of 

prototype qualification tests for 

compliance with the standard, and other 

information before the introduction of 

each model of lighter into commerce. 

These regulations also require 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of multi-purpose lighters to 

establish and maintain records to 

demonstrate successful completion of 

all required tests to support the 

certificates of compliance that they 

issue. 16 CFR part 1212, subpart B. 

The Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of multi-purpose lighters to 

protect consumers from risks of 

accidental deaths and burn injuries 

associated with those lighters. More 

specifically, the Commission uses this 

information to determine whether 

lighters comply with the standard by 

resisting operation by young children. 

The Commission also uses this 

information to obtain corrective actions 

if multi-purpose lighters fail to comply 

with the standard in a manner that 

creates a substantial risk of injury to the 

public. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information in the certification 

regulations for multi-purpose lighters 

under control number 3041–0130. The 

Commission proposes to request an 

extension of approval for this collection 

of information requirements. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. The 

cost of the rule’s testing, reporting, 

recordkeeping, and other certificationrelated provisions is comprised of time 

spent by testing organizations on behalf 

of manufacturers and importers, and 

time spent by firms to prepare, 

maintain, and submit records to CPSC. 

There are currently an estimated 59 

firms that import, distribute and/or sell 

multi-purpose lighters in the United 

States, which is a subset of the 

approximately 145 firms total that may 

import, distribute and/or sell these 

lighters in the future. With a few 

exceptions, most manufacturers and 

importers have more than one model, 

currently ranging from 1 to 130 models 

for each firm. Based on past experience, 

an estimate of two models per firm is a 

reasonable number to use for calculating 

burden. Each manufacturer would 

spend approximately 50 hours per 

model. Therefore, the total annual 

amount of time that will be required for 

complying with the testing, 

recordkeeping, and reporting 

requirements of the rule is 

approximately 5,900 hours (59 firms × 2 

models × 50 hours = 5,900 total hours 

requested). The annualized cost to 

respondents for the hour burden for 

collection of information is $335,887 

based on a total of 5,900 hours at 

$56.93/hour (based on total 

compensation of all management, 

professional, and related occupations in 

goods-producing industries in the 

United States, September 2009, Bureau 

of Labor Statistics). 

The annual cost of the rule to the 

Federal government is comprised 

chiefly of the Commission’s resources 

for compliance and enforcement 

activities. An estimated 2 full-timeequivalent (‘‘FTE’’) staff years of effort 

are required to administer the rule 

annually. The Commission’s cost for 

these staff activities is approximately 

$170,000 per FTE. Thus, the annual cost 

of enforcing the rule to the Federal 

government is estimated to be about 

$340,000. This cost estimate includes 

the agency’s enforcement and field staff 

costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 

44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CPSC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, the CPSC 

invites comments on these topics: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of CPSC’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Title: Export of Noncomplying, 

Misbranded, or Banned Products—16 

CFR part 1019 (OMB Control Number 

3041–0003—Extension). 

Description: The Commission requests 

comments on a proposed three year 

extension of approval of information 

collection requirements in regulations 

codified at 16 CFR part 1019, which 

establish procedures for export of 

noncomplying, misbranded, or banned 

products. These regulations implement 

provisions of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous 

Substances Act, and the Flammable 

Fabrics Act, as amended by the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act (‘‘CPSIA’’). Persons and firms are 

required to notify the Commission 

before exporting any product that fails 

to comply with an applicable standard 

or regulation enforced under provisions 

of those laws. The Commission is 

required to transmit the information 

relating to the proposed exportation to 

the government of the country of 

intended destination. In addition, for 

any consumer product that is not in 

conformity with an applicable consumer 

product safety rule, exports from the 

United States may be prohibited unless 

the importing country has notified the 

Commission that such country accepts 

the importation of such consumer 

product. 15 U.S.C. 2067. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. 

Based on a review of the number of 

export requests received by the CPSC 

during the last three years, the CPSC 

staff estimates that approximately 44 

notifications will be received from an 

estimated 20 firms per year. The staff 

further estimates that the average time 

for each response is one hour, for a total 

of 44 hours of annual burden. The 

annualized cost to respondents would 

be approximately $2,505. (44 hours at 

$56.93/hour based on total 

compensation of all management, 

professional, and related occupations in 

goods-producing industries in the 

United States, September 2009, Bureau 

of Labor Statistics.) 

The estimated annual cost of the 

information collection requirements to 

the Federal government is 

approximately $14,000. The staff 

estimates that it takes about three hours 

to process an export notification and 

enter the information in the appropriate 

database. The receipt and processing of 

44 notifications would require 

approximately 132 staff hours or 

approximately 1 staff month per year.
