Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 18, 2010 / Notices 27733 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 

44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CPSC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, the CPSC 

invites comments on these topics: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of CPSC’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Title: Export of Noncomplying, 

Misbranded, or Banned Products—16 

CFR part 1019 (OMB Control Number 

3041–0003—Extension). 

Description: The Commission requests 

comments on a proposed three year 

extension of approval of information 

collection requirements in regulations 

codified at 16 CFR part 1019, which 

establish procedures for export of 

noncomplying, misbranded, or banned 

products. These regulations implement 

provisions of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous 

Substances Act, and the Flammable 

Fabrics Act, as amended by the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act (‘‘CPSIA’’). Persons and firms are 

required to notify the Commission 

before exporting any product that fails 

to comply with an applicable standard 

or regulation enforced under provisions 

of those laws. The Commission is 

required to transmit the information 

relating to the proposed exportation to 

the government of the country of 

intended destination. In addition, for 

any consumer product that is not in 

conformity with an applicable consumer 

product safety rule, exports from the 

United States may be prohibited unless 

the importing country has notified the 

Commission that such country accepts 

the importation of such consumer 

product. 15 U.S.C. 2067. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. 

Based on a review of the number of 

export requests received by the CPSC 

during the last three years, the CPSC 

staff estimates that approximately 44 

notifications will be received from an 

estimated 20 firms per year. The staff 

further estimates that the average time 

for each response is one hour, for a total 

of 44 hours of annual burden. The 

annualized cost to respondents would 

be approximately $2,505. (44 hours at 

$56.93/hour based on total 

compensation of all management, 

professional, and related occupations in 

goods-producing industries in the 

United States, September 2009, Bureau 

of Labor Statistics.) 

The estimated annual cost of the 

information collection requirements to 

the Federal government is 

approximately $14,000. The staff 

estimates that it takes about three hours 

to process an export notification and 

enter the information in the appropriate 

database. The receipt and processing of 

44 notifications would require 

approximately 132 staff hours or 

approximately 1 staff month per year.

Title: Standard for the Flammability 

of Mattresses and Mattress Pads—16 

CFR part 1632 (OMB Control Number 

3041–0014—Extension). 

Description: The Standard for the 

Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress 

Pads 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 standard prescribes 

a test to assure that a mattress or 

mattress pad will resist ignition from a 

smoldering cigarette. The 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 are required to maintain the 

records and test results specified under 

the standard. OMB previously approved 

the collection of information under 

control number 3041–0014. The 

Commission now proposes to request an 

extension of approval for the collection 

of information of the testing and 

recordkeeping requirements under 16 

CFR part 1632. 

In addition, the Standard for the 

Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress 

Sets was promulgated under section 4 of 

the FFA, 16 CFR part 1633, to reduce 

deaths and injuries related to mattress 

fires, particularly those ignited by open 

flame sources such as lighters, candles 

and matches. The standard established 

new performance requirements for 

mattresses and mattress sets that will 

generate a smaller size fire from open 

flame source ignitions. Part 1633 also 

contains recordkeeping requirements to 

document compliance with the 

standard. OBM approved that collection 

of information under Control Number 

3041–0133, with an expiration date of 

March 31, 2013. The testing and 

recordkeeping requirements under 16 

CFR part 1633 do not replace the testing 

and recordkeeping requirements under 

16 CFR part 1632. 

In May 2006, an Interim Enforcement 

Policy for Mattresses subject to 16 CFR 

parts 1632 and 1633, effective May 1, 

2006, was issued that reduced prototype 

surface testing and recordkeeping 

requirements from six mattress surfaces 

to two mattress surfaces for each new 

prototype created after March 15, 2006. 

Manufacturers that avail themselves of 

the reduced testing program will have to 

maintain records on the cigarette test 

performed but they will be testing only 

two surfaces rather than the required six 

surfaces. The policy is available at 

http://www.cpsc.gov/BUSINFO/

Interimmattress.pdf. Mattress 

prototypes created before March 15, 

2006, are subject to the full 

requirements of 16 CFR part 1632. In 

addition, mattress pads are not subject 

to this policy and must continue to 

adhere to all the requirements set forth 

in 16 CFR part 1632. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. The 

CPSC staff estimates that there are 671 

respondents (571 establishments 

producing conventional mattresses and 

100 establishments producing nonconventional mattresses in the United 

States, a total of 671). It is estimated that 

each respondent will spend 26 hours for 

testing and record keeping annually for 

a total of 17,446 hours (671 firms × 26 

hours = 17,446 total hours requested). 

The annualized cost to respondents 

would be $993,201 based on 17,446 

hours times $56.93/hour (based on total 

compensation of all management, 

professional, and related occupations in 

goods-producing industries in the 

United States, September 2009, Bureau 

of Labor Statistics). 

The estimated annual cost of the 

information collection requirements to 

the Federal government is 

approximately $142,000. This sum 

includes 10 staff months and travel 

costs expended for examination of the 

information in records required to be 

maintained by the standard and 

enforcement rule.
