agency’s intention to seek extension of 

approval of the collection of information 

required in the Safety Standard for 

Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base 

Station (16 CFR Part 1204). No 

comments were received in response to 

that notice. 

The Safety Standard for 

Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base 

Station Antennas establishes 

performance requirements for 

omnidirectional citizens band base 

station antennas to reduce unreasonable 

risks of death and injury that may result 

if an antenna contacts overhead power 

lines while being erected or removed 

from its site. Certification regulations 

implementing the standard require 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of antennas subject to the 

standard to test antennas for compliance 

with the standard and to maintain 

records of that testing. 

The records of testing and other 

information required by the certification 

regulations allow the Commission to 

determine that antennas subject to the 

standard comply with its requirements. 

This information would also enable the 

Commission to obtain corrective actions 

if omnidirectional citizens band base 

station antennas failed to comply with 

the standard in a manner which creates 

a substantial risk of injury to the public. 

We estimate that about five firms 

manufacture or import citizens band 

base station antennas subject to the 

standard. We estimate that the 

certification regulations will impose an 

average annual burden of about 220 

hours on each of those firms. That 

burden will result from conducting the 

testing required by the regulations and 

maintaining records of the results of that 

testing. The total annual burden 

imposed by the regulations on 

manufacturers and importers of citizens 

band base station antennas is 

approximately 1,100 hours. 

The hourly wage for the testing and 

recordkeeping required to conduct the 

testing and maintain records required by 

the regulations is approximately $61.75 

(Bureau of Labor Statistics: total 

compensation for management, 

professional, and related workers in 

goods-producing private industries: 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs), for an 

estimated annual cost to the industry of 

$67,925.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of October 4, 2012, and 

October, 17, 2012, (77 FR 60684, 77 FR 

63799) the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (CPSC or Commission) 

published a notice in accordance with 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to 

announce the CPSC’s intention to seek 

extension of approval of collections of 

information in the flammability 

standards for children’s sleepwear and 

implementing regulations. No 

comments were received in response to 

that notice. Therefore, by publication of 

this notice, the Commission announces 

that it has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request for extension of approval of that 

collection of information without 

change. 

The standards and regulations are 

codified as 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. The 

flammability standards and 

implementing regulations prescribe 

requirements for testing and 

recordkeeping by manufacturers and 

importers of children’s sleepwear 

subject to the standards. The 

information in the records required by 

the regulations allows the Commission 

to determine if items of children’s 

sleepwear comply with the applicable 

standard. This information also enables 

the Commission to obtain corrective 

actions if items of children’s sleepwear 

fail to comply with the applicable 

standard in a manner that creates a 

substantial risk of injury. 

We estimate that about 83 firms 

manufacture or import products subject 

to the two children’s sleepwear 

flammability standards. These firms 

may perform an estimated 2,000 tests 

each, which take up to 3 hours per test. 

We estimate that these standards and 

implementing regulations will impose 

an average annual burden of about 6,000 

hours on each of those firms (2,000 tests 

× 3 hours). That burden will result from 

conducting the testing required by the 

standards and maintaining records of 

the results of that testing mandated by 

the implementing regulations. The total 

annual burden imposed by the 

standards and regulations on all 

manufacturers and importers of 

children’s sleepwear will be about 

498,000 hours (83 firms × 6,000). The 

annual cost to the industry is estimated 

to be $30,751,500, based on an hourly 

wage of $61.75 (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics: Total compensation for 

management, professional, and related 

workers in goods-producing private 

industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs) × 

498,000 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of October 4, 2012, and 

October 17, 2012 (77 FR 60685, 77 FR 

63799), the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission published a notice in 

accordance with provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the 

agency’s intention to seek extension of 

approval of the collection of information 

required in the Requirements for 

Electrically Operated Toys or Other 

Electrically Operated Articles Intended 

for Use by Children (16 CFR Part 1505). 

No comments were received in response 

to that notice. Therefore, by publication 

of this notice, the Commission 

announces that it has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for extension of 

approval of that collection of 

information without change. 

The regulations in 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. Section 1505.4(a)(3) of the 

regulations requires manufacturers and 

importers of electrically operated toys 

and children’s articles to maintain 

records for 3 years containing 

information about: (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. 

The records of testing and other 

information required by the regulations 

allow the Commission to determine if 

electrically operated toys and children’s 

articles comply with the requirements of 

the regulations in part 1505. If the 

Commission determines that products 

fail to comply with the regulations, this 

information also enables the 

Commission and the firm to: (i) identify 

specific lots or production lines of 

products which fail to comply with 

applicable requirements; and (ii) notify 

distributors and retailers in the event 

those products are subject to recall. 

We estimate that about 40 firms are 

subject to the testing and recordkeeping 

requirements of the regulations. Each 

one may have an average of 10 products 

each year, for which testing and 

recordkeeping would be required, 

resulting in approximately 400 records. 

We estimate that the tests required by 

the regulations can be performed on one 

product in 16 hours and that 

recordkeeping can be performed for one 

product in 4 hours. Thus, the estimated 

testing burden hours are 6,400 (16 hours 

x 400), and the estimated recordkeeping 

burden hours are 1,600 hours (400 

records x 4 hours). 

In addition, we estimate that each 

firm may spend 30 minutes or less per 

model on the labeling requirements. 

Assuming each firm produces 10 new 

models each year, the estimated labeling 

burden hours are 200 hours (40 firms x 

10 models per firm x 0.5 hours per 

model = 200 hours) per year. The 

estimated total burden hours for 

recordkeeping and labeling are 1,800 

hours for all firms (1,600 hours for 

recordkeeping + 200 hours for labeling). 

The hourly wage for the time required 

to perform the required testing and 

recordkeeping is approximately $61.75 

(Bureau of Labor Statistics: total 

compensation for management, 

professional, and related workers in 

goods-producing private industries: 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs, and the hourly 

wage for the time required to maintain 

the labeling requirements is 

approximately $27.64 (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, total compensation for all 

sales and office workers in goodsproducing, private industries: http:// 

www.bls.gov/ncs). The annualized total 

cost to the industry is estimated to be 

$444,952 (6,400 × $61.75 + 1,800 × 

$27.64).
