SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

There are approximately 671 

establishments producing mattresses: 

Approximately 571 produce 

conventional mattresses and 

approximately 100 establishments 

produce nonconventional mattresses 

(such as futons, sleep sofa inserts, 

hybrid water mattresses) in the United 

States. The Standard for the 

Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress 

Pads, 16 CFR part 1632, (part 1632 

standard) was promulgated under 

section 4 of the Flammable Fabrics Act 

(FFA), 15 U.S.C. 1193, to reduce 

unreasonable risks of burn injuries and 

deaths from fires associated with 

mattresses and mattress pads. The part 

1632 standard prescribes requirements 

to test whether a mattress or mattress 

pad will resist ignition from a 

smoldering cigarette. The part 1632 

standard requires manufacturers to 

perform prototype tests of each 

combination of materials and 

construction methods used to produce 

mattresses or mattress pads and to 

obtain acceptable results from such 

testing. Manufacturers and importers 

must maintain the records and test 

results specified under the standard. 

OMB previously approved the 

collection of information under control 

number 3041–0014, with an expiration 

date of December 31, 2013. 

The Commission also promulgated 

the Standard for the Flammability 

(Open Flame) of Mattress Sets, 16 CFR 

part 1633, (part 1633 standard) under 

section 4 of the FFA to reduce deaths 

and injuries related to mattress fires, 

particularly those ignited by open flame 

sources, such as lighters, candles, and 

matches. The part 1633 standard 

requires manufacturers to maintain 

certain records to document compliance 

with the standard, including 

maintaining records concerning 

prototype testing, pooling, and 

confirmation testing, and quality 

assurance procedures and any 

associated testing. The required records 

must be maintained for as long as 

mattress sets based on the prototype are 

in production and must be retained for 

three years thereafter. Although some 

larger manufacturers may produce 

mattresses based on more than 100 

prototypes, most mattress manufacturers 

base their complying production on 15 

to 20 prototypes. OMB previously 

approved the collection of information 

for 16 CFR part 1633 under Control 

Number 3041–0133, with an expiration 

date of May 31, 2016. The information 

collection requirements under the part 

1633 standard do not duplicate the 

testing and recordkeeping requirements 

under the part 1632 standard. 

Because the collection of information 

required under the part 1632 and part 

1633 standards relate to reducing fire 

hazards associated with mattresses and 

mattress pads, the Commission now 

proposes to request an extension of 

approval for the collection of 

information for both standards under a 

single control number, 3041–0014. 

B. Burden Hours 

Respondents’ Costs 

For testing and recordkeeping under 

the part 1632 standard, based on data 

collected from the rulemaking 

proceeding, CPSC staff estimates that 

671 respondents will each spend 26 

hours for testing and recordkeeping 

annually for a total of 17,446 hours (671 

establishments × 26 hours). Staff bases 

the hourly compensation for the time 

required for a technical employee to test 

prototypes and record test results on an 

hourly compensation of $61.80 (U.S. 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer 

Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ 

June 2013, Table 9, total compensation 

of all management, professional, and 

related occupations in goods-producing 

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

Staff estimates the annualized cost to 

respondents would be $1,078,162 

(17,446 hours × $61.80). 

In addition, under the part 1633 

standard, based on data collected from 

the rulemaking proceeding, CPSC staff 

estimates additional testing and 

recordkeeping requirements will take 

approximately 4 hours and 44 minutes 

per establishment, per qualified 

prototype. Assuming that 

establishments qualify their production 

with an average of 20 different qualified 

prototypes, about 94.6 hours (4.73 hours 

× 20 prototypes) per establishment per 

year would be required for testing and 

recordkeeping for the part 1633 

standard. (Note that pooling among 

establishments or using a prototype 

qualification for longer than one year 

will reduce this estimate.) This 

translates to an annual recordkeeping 

time cost to all mattress producers of 

63,477 hours (671 establishments × 94.6 

hours) for the part 1633 standard. Based 

on an hourly compensation for the time 

required of $61.80 (U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ June 2013, 

Table 9, total compensation of all 

management, professional, and related 

occupations in goods-producing 

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

total estimated costs for recordkeeping 

for both mattress standards are about 

$3.9 million (63,477 hours × $61.80). 

Thus, the total cost to the estimated 

671 respondents for the information 

collection requirements under 16 CFR 

part 1632 and 16 CFR part1633 is 

estimated to be approximately $4.9 

million. 

Federal Government’s Costs 

The estimated annual cost of the 

information collection requirements to 

the federal government to review 16 

CFR part 1632 is approximately 

$101,890. This sum includes 10 staff 

months and travel costs expended for 

examination of the information in 

records required to be maintained by the 

part 1632 standard. This estimate is 

based on an annual wage of $84,855 (the 

equivalent of a GS–12 Step 5 employee) 

with an additional 30.6 percent added 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
73506 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2013 / Notices 

for benefits (U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation,’’ June 2013, 

Table 1, percentage of wages and 

salaries for all civilian management, 

professional, and related employees) for 

total annual compensation $122,269 per 

full time employee. 

The estimated annual cost of 

information collection requirements to 

the federal government to review 16 

CFR part 1633 is approximately $2,939. 

This represents 50 staff hours for record 

review. This estimate uses an average 

hourly wage of $40.80 (the equivalent of 

a GS–12 Step 5 employee) with an 

additional 30.6 percent added for 

benefits (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

‘‘Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation,’’ June 2013, Table 1, 

percentage of wages and salaries for all 

civilian management, professional, and 

related employees) for total hourly 

compensation $58.78. 

Staff estimates the total cost to the 

federal government for information 

collections for both mattress standards 

is $104,829. 

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert H. Squibb, U.S. Consumer 

Product Safety Commission,4330 East

telephone: 301–504–7923 or by email to: 

rsquibb@cpsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of August 30, 2013 (78 

FR 53734), the 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 a collection of information 

for the safety standard for infant bath 

seats. CPSC received no comments. By 

publication of this notice, the 

Commission announces that the CPSC 

has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), a 

request for extension of approval of that 

collection of information without 

change. 

A. Background 

Section 104(b) of the Consumer 

Product Safety Improvement Act of 

2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110–314, 122 

Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), requires 

the CPSC to promulgate consumer 

product safety standards for durable 

infant or toddler products. These 

standards are to be ‘‘substantially the 

same as’’ applicable voluntary standards 

or more stringent than the voluntary 

standard if the Commission concludes 

that more stringent requirements would 

further reduce the risk of injury 

associated with the product. On June 4, 

2010, the Commission issued a safety 

standard for infant bath seats that 

incorporated by reference the voluntary 

standard for infant bath seats issued by 

ASTM International, ASTM F1967–08a, 

with some modifications to reduce 

further the risk of injury associated with 

infant bath seats. 75 FR 31691. On July 

31, 2012, the Commission adopted the 

revised ASTM standard for infant bath 

seats, ASTM F1967–11a. 77 FR 45242. 

The requirements for infant bath seats 

are set forth under 16 CFR part 1215. 

Sections 8.6 and 9 of ASTM F1967– 

11a contain requirements for marking, 

labeling, and instructional literature, 

which may be considered to be 

collections of information. Section 8.6 

of ASTM F1967–11a requires: 

• The name of the manufacturer, 

distributor, or seller and either the place 

of business (city, state, and mailing 

address, including zip code), or 

telephone number, or both; and 

• A code mark or other means that 

identifies the date (month and year, as 

a minimum) of manufacture. 

Section 9 of ASTM F1967–11a 

requires infant bath seats to be provided 

with instructions regarding assembly, 

maintenance, cleaning, storage, and use, 

as well as warnings. 

B. Burden Hours 

There are seven known firms 

supplying infant bath seats to the U.S. 

market. All seven firms are assumed to 

use labels on both their products and 

their packaging; however, modifications 

to existing labels may be required to 

comply with the ASTM standard. The 

estimated time required to make these 

modifications is about one hour per 

model. On the average, each of the 

seven firms supplies approximately two 

different models of infant bath seats; 

therefore, the estimated burden hours 

associated with modified labels is 1 

hour x 7 firms x 2 models per firm = 14 

annual hours.
