Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 8, 2006 / Notices 65477 

Operations, 2,544 in-depth 

investigations by phone, 4,600 hotline 

staff interviews, and conducts a review 

of 6,900 internet forms received from 

persons requesting information about 

product-related incidents or injuries. 

ATLA also requests that incident 

reports that contain identifying 

information be made available, in 

unredacted form, to counsel for both 

plaintiffs and defendants. The statutes 

administered by the Commission 

explicitly preclude the release of the 

type of identifying information sought 

to be obtained by ATLA. Section 6 of 

the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2055, provides that 

the Commission may not disclose any 

information which will permit the 

public to ascertain the identity of a 

manufacturer without providing prior 

notification and opportunity for 

comment to the manufacturer to which 

such information pertains. In addition, 

section 25 of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2074, 

provides that any accident or 

investigation report made by an officer 

or employee of the Commission shall be 

made available to the public in a 

manner which will not identify any 

injured person or any person treating 

him, without the consent of the person 

so identified. Records that could 

reasonably be expected to constitute an 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy are also exempted from 

production and disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552(b). To the extent an injured person 

has consented to release such 

information, that information would be 

readily available to counsel for either 

the plaintiff or the defendant. 

The information collected from 

persons who have sustained injuries or 

who have witnessed safety-related 

incidents associated with consumer 

products is an important source of 

safety information. The information 

collected is vital to the Commission in 

its efforts to assess the safety of 

consumer products and identify areas 

regarding consumer safety issues that 

may require further development and 

improvement through voluntary 

standards activities, rulemaking 

proceedings, recall activities, and 

information and education campaigns. 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

submitted the request for an extension 

of the existing approval of collections of 

information conducted during follow-up 

activities for product-related injuries.
