### 70047 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 226 / Friday, November 22, 2013 / Notices

2 See 78 FR 47317 (60-Day Federal Register Notice) and 78 FR 65649 (extended comment period until Nov. 8, 2013).

3 Staff has derived an hourly wage rate ($250/ hour) for legal professionals based upon industry knowledge. The wage rates for legal support workers ($24.57) and for clerical support ($16.54)
used in this Notice are based on recent data from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Compensation Survey (Mar. 29, 2013), available at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ocwage.htm. information that must appear in a written warranty on a consumer product costing more than $15. The Rule tracks Section 102(a) of the Warranty Act, specifying information that must appear in the written warranty and, for certain disclosures, mandates the exact language that must be used. Neither the Warranty Rule nor the Act requires that
a manufacturer or retailer warrant a consumer product in writing, but if they choose to do so, the warranty must comply with the Rule.

On August 5, 2013, the Commission sought comment on the Rule’s information collection requirements. 2 The Commission did not receive any

comments.

As required by OMB regulations, 5 CFR Part 1320, the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public comment.

Likely Respondents: Manufacturers of consumer products.

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 116,128 hours (derived from estimated 14,516 manufacturers × 8 hours of burden per year).

Estimated Annual Cost Burden: $15,710,000, rounded to the nearest thousand (which is derived from $14,516,000 for legal professionals + $713,316 for legal support + $480,189 for clerical workers). 3

• Legal Professionals: (0.5) (116,128 hours) ($250/hour) = $14,516,000

• Legal Support: (0.25) (116,128 hours) ($24.57/hour) = $713,316

• Clerical Workers: (0.25) (116,128 hours) ($16.54/hour) = $480,189

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  In 2009, NIOSH published Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 61—A Strategy for Assigning New NIOSH Skin Notations [NIOSH 2009–147; http://www.cdc.gov/ niosh/docs/2009-147/pdfs/2009- 147.pdf ]. The CIB presents a strategic
framework that is a form of hazard identification that has been designed to do the following:

1. Ensure that the assigned skin notations reflect the contemporary state of scientific knowledge

2. Provide transparency behind the assignment process

3. Communicate the hazards of chemical exposures of the skin

4. Meet the needs of health professionals, employers, and other interested parties in protecting workers
from chemical contact with the skin.

This strategy involves the assignment of multiple skin notations for distinguishing systemic (SYS), direct (DIR), and sensitizing (SEN) effects caused by exposure of skin (SK) to chemicals. Chemicals that are highly or extremely toxic and may be potentially lethal or life-threatening following exposures of the skin are designated with the systemic subnotation (FATAL).
Potential irritants and corrosive chemicals are indicated by the direct effects subnotations (IRR) and (COR), respectively. Thus with the new strategy, chemicals labeled as SK: SYS are recognized to contribute to systemic toxicity through dermal absorption. Chemicals assigned the notation SK: SYS (FATAL) have been identified as highly or extremely toxic and have the potential to be lethal or life-threatening following acute contact with the skin.
Substances identified to cause direct effects (i.e., damage or destruction) to the skin limited to or near the point of contact are labeled SK: DIR, and those resulting in skin irritation and corrosion at the point of contact are labeled as SK: DIR (IRR) and SK: DIR (COR), respectively. The SK: SEN notation is
used for substances identified as causing or contributing to allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) or other immune-mediated responses, such as airway hyper reactivity (asthma). Candidate chemicals may be assigned more than one skin notation when they are identified to cause multiple effects resulting from skin exposure. For example, if a chemical is identified as
corrosive and also contributes to systemic toxicity, it will be labeled as SK: SYS–DIR (COR). When scientific
data for a chemical indicate that skin exposure does not produce systemic, direct, or sensitizing effects, the compound will be assigned the notation (SK). The ID (SK) notation is assigned to
indicate that insufficient data on the
health hazards associated with skin exposure to a substance exist at the time
of the review to determine whether the chemical has the potential to act as a systemic, direct, or sensitizing agent.
The ND notation indicates that a chemical has not been evaluated by the strategy outlined in this CIB and that the
health hazards associated with skin exposure are unknown.

Historically, skin notations have been published in the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards [NIOSH 2005–149]. This practice will continue with the NIOSH skin notation assignments for each evaluated chemical being integrated as they become available. A support document called a Skin Notation Profile has been developed for
each evaluated chemical. NIOSH submitted the first group of Skin
Notation Profiles for external review in 2010 [75 FR 22148] and published the finalized reports in 2011 [ http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/skin/skinnotation

_ profiles.html ]. The Skin
Notation Profile for a chemical is intended to provide information supplemental to the skin notation, including a summary of all relevant data used to aid in determining the hazards associated with skin exposures.

NIOSH seeks comments on the draft skin notation assignments and Skin
Notation Profiles for 25 chemicals. The
draft Skin Notation Profiles were developed to provide the scientific rationale behind the hazard-specific
