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

**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.

**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.

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: 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 and100 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.
