volt circuit. Video games and articles 

designed primarily for use by adults that 

may be used incidentally by children 

are not subject to these regulations. 

The regulations prescribe design, 

construction, performance, and labeling 

requirements for electrically operated 

toys and children’s articles. The 

regulations also require manufacturers 

and importers of those products to 

develop and maintain a quality 

assurance program. 16 CFR 1505.4(a)(2). 

Additionally, section 1505.4(a)(3) of the 

regulations require those firms to 

maintain records for 3 years, containing 

information about: (1) The material and 

production specifications and the 

description of the quality assurance 

program required by 16 CFR 

1505.4(a)(2); (2) the results of all 

inspections and tests conducted; and (3) 

records of sales and distribution. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information requirements in the 

regulations under control number 3041– 

0035. OMB’s most recent extension of 

approval expires on December 31, 2012. 

The Commission now proposes to 

request an extension of approval for the 

information collection requirements in 

the regulations. 

The safety need for this collection of 

information remains. Specifically, if a 

manufacturer or importer distributes 

products that violate the requirements 

of the regulations, the records required 

by section 1505.4(a)(3) can be used by 

the firm and the Commission to: (i) 

identify specific lots or production lines 

of products that fail to comply with 

applicable requirements; and (ii) notify 

distributors and retailers in the event 

the products are subject to recall. 

B. Estimated Burden 

The Commission staff estimates 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. Commission staff estimates 

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 × 400), and 

the estimated recordkeeping burden 

hours are 1,600 hours (400 records × 4 

hours). 

Commission staff estimates 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 × 

10 models per firm × 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). 

CPSC staff estimates that 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). 

Commission staff will expend less 

than one staff month reviewing records 

required to be maintained for 

electrically operated toys and children’s 

articles. The annual cost to the federal 

government of the collection of 

information in these regulations is 

estimated to be less than $14,338. This 

estimate uses an annual total 

compensation of $ 119,238 (the 

equivalent of a GS–14 step 5 employee, 

with an additional 30.7 percent added 

for benefits.) 

C. 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: 

—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; 

—Whether the estimated burden of the 

proposed collection of information is 

accurate; 

—Whether the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected could be enhanced; and 

—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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990, 

Congress enacted legislation, under 

provisions of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2051 et 

seq.), requiring that residential garage 

door operators comply with the 

provisions of a standard published by 

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to 

protect against entrapment. The 

entrapment protection requirements of 

UL Standard 325 are codified into the 

Safety Standard for Automatic 

Residential Garage Door Operators, 16 

CFR Part 1211. Automatic residential 

garage door operators must comply with 

the latest edition of the Commission’s 

regulations at 16 CFR part 1211. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information concerning the Safety 

Standard for Automatic Residential 

Garage Door Operators under control 

number 3041–0125. OMB’s most recent 

approval will expire on December 31, 

2012. The Commission now proposes to 

request an extension of approval of this 

collection of information. 

A. Certification Requirements 

Section 203 of Public Law 101–608 

requires that UL Standard 325 shall be 

considered to be a consumer product 

safety standard under section 9 of the 

CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2058. The 

Commission’s regulations provide that 

manufacturers and importers of 

automatic residential garage door 

operators subject to the safety standard 

shall issue certificates of compliance. 16 

CFR 1112.20. 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. 

On December 22, 1992, the 

Commission issued rules prescribing 

requirements for a reasonable testing 

program to support certificates of 

compliance with the Safety Standard for 

Automatic Residential Garage Door 

Operators (57 FR 60449). These 

regulations also require manufacturers, 

importers, and private labelers of 

residential garage door operators to 

establish and maintain records to 

demonstrate compliance with the 

requirements for testing to support 

certification of compliance. 16 CFR Part 

1211, Subparts B and C. The 

Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by 

manufacturers and importers of 

residential garage door operators to 

protect consumers from risks of death 

and injury resulting from entrapment 

accidents associated with garage door 

operators. More specifically, the 

Commission uses this information to 

determine whether the products 

produced and imported by those firms 

comply with the standard. The 

Commission also uses this information 

to facilitate corrective action if any 

residential garage door operators fail to 

comply with the standard in a manner 

that creates a substantial risk of injury 

to the public. 

B. Estimated Burden 

Commission staff estimates that about 

23 firms are subject to the testing and 

recordkeeping requirements of the 

certification regulations. Staff estimates 

that each respondent will spend 40 

hours annually on the collection of 

information, for a total of about 920 

hours. The estimated total annual cost 

to industry is approximately $25,429, 

based on 920 hours × $27.64 (Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, total compensation for 

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

www.bls.gov/ncs). 

Commission staff will expend 

approximately 6 staff months reviewing 

records required to be maintained for 

automatic residential garage door 

operators. The annual cost to the federal 

government of the collection of 

information in these regulations is 

estimated to be $86,031. This estimate 

uses an annual total compensation of 

$119,238 (the equivalent of a GS–14 

step 5 employee, with an additional 

30.7 percent added for benefits.) 

C. 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: 

—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; 

—Whether the estimated burden of the 

proposed collection of information is 

accurate; 

—Whether the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected could be enhanced; and 

—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.
