much further offshore than where 

Kaktovik seal hunts typically occur 

which is inside the barrier islands (AES 

2009). It is assumed that effects on 

subsistence seal harvests would be 

negligible given the distances between 

Shell’s proposed site clearance and 

shallow hazards and ice gouge surveys 

and the subsistence seal hunting areas 

of Nuiqsut and Kaktovik. 

Seals are an important subsistence 

resource in the Chukchi Sea community 

of Wainwright. Ringed seals make up 

the bulk of the seal harvest. Most ringed 

and bearded seals are harvested in the 

winter or in the spring (May–July) 

which is before Shell’s ice gouge survey 

would commence, but some harvest 

continues into the open water period. 

Hunting that does occur during the open 

water season generally occurs within 10 

miles of the coastline (AES 2009), while 

the majority of ice gouge survey activity 

will be much further offshore. Timing of 

activities will be coordinated via the 

nearest communication and call centers 

operating in the Chukchi Sea, 

presumably in Wainwright and Barrow. 

It is assumed that effects on subsistence 

seal harvests would be negligible given 

the timing and distances between 

Shell’s proposed ice gouge survey and 

the subsistence seal hunting area of 

Wainwright. 

All survey activities will be operated 

in accordance with the procedures of 

Shell’s Marine Mammal Monitoring and 

Mitigation Plan (4MP) that accompanies 

this program. This potential impact is 

mitigated by application of the 

procedures established in the 4MP and 

to be detailed in the POC. Adaptive 

mitigation measures may be employed 

during times of active scouting, 

whaling, or other subsistence hunting 

activities that occur within the 

traditional subsistence hunting areas of 

the potentially affected communities. 

Shell states that it will continue its 

adopted spatial and temporal 

operational strategy that, when 

combined with its community outreach 

and engagement program, will provide 

effective protection to the bowhead 

migration and subsistence hunt. 

Based on the above analysis, measures 

described in Shell’s Draft POC, the 

proposed mitigation and monitoring 

measures (described earlier in this 

document), and the project design itself, 

NMFS has determined preliminarily 

that there will not be an unmitigable 

adverse impact on subsistence uses from 

Shell’s 2010 open water marine survey 

activities in the Beaufort and Chukchi 

Seas. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

There are two marine mammal 

species listed as endangered under the 

ESA with confirmed or possible 

occurrence in the proposed project area: 

the bowhead whale and the humpback 

whale. NMFS’ Permits, Conservation 

and Education Division has begun 

consultation with NMFS’ Endangered 

Species Division under section 7 of the 

ESA on the issuance of an IHA to Shell 

under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA 

for this activity. Consultation will be 

concluded prior to a determination on 

the issuance of an IHA. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

NMFS is currently preparing an 

Environmental Assessment, pursuant to 

NEPA, to determine whether or not this 

proposed activity may have a significant 

effect on the human environment. This 

analysis will be completed prior to the 

issuance or denial of the IHA. 

Proposed Authorization 

As a result of these preliminary 

determinations, NMFS proposes to 

authorize the take of marine mammals 

incidental to Shell’s 2010 open water 

marine surveys in the Beaufort and 

Chukchi Seas, Alaska, provided the 

previously mentioned mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

are incorporated.

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: Safety Standard for MultiPurpose Lighters—16 CFR part 1212 

(OMB Control Number 3041–0130— 

Extension). 

Description: Section 14(a)(1) of the 

CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2063(a)) requires 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of a consumer product subject 

to a consumer product safety standard 

under the Consumer Product Safety Act 

(‘‘CPSA’’) or similar rule, ban, standard, 

or regulation under any other act 

enforced by the Commission to issue a 

certificate stating that the product 

complies with all applicable rules, bans, 

standards or regulations. 

Section 14(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 

2063(b)) authorizes the Commission to 

issue regulations to prescribe a 

reasonable testing program to support 

certificates of compliance with a 

consumer product safety standard under 

the CPSA or similar rule, ban, standard, 

or regulation under any other act 

enforced by the Commission. Section 

16(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2065(b)) 

authorizes the Commission to issue 

rules to require that firms establish and 

maintain records to permit the 

Commission to determine compliance 

with rules issued under the authority of 

the CPSA. 

The Commission has issued 

regulations prescribing requirements for 

a reasonable testing program to support 

certificates of compliance with the 

standard for multi-purpose lighters. 

These regulations require manufacturers 

and importers to submit a description of 

each model of lighter, results of 

prototype qualification tests for 

compliance with the standard, and other 

information before the introduction of 

each model of lighter into commerce. 

These regulations also require 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of multi-purpose lighters to 

establish and maintain records to 

demonstrate successful completion of 

all required tests to support the 

certificates of compliance that they 

issue. 16 CFR part 1212, subpart B. 

The Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of multi-purpose lighters to 

protect consumers from risks of 

accidental deaths and burn injuries 

associated with those lighters. More 

specifically, the Commission uses this 

information to determine whether 

lighters comply with the standard by 

resisting operation by young children. 

The Commission also uses this 

information to obtain corrective actions 

if multi-purpose lighters fail to comply 

with the standard in a manner that 

creates a substantial risk of injury to the 

public. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information in the certification 

regulations for multi-purpose lighters 

under control number 3041–0130. The 

Commission proposes to request an 

extension of approval for this collection 

of information requirements. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. The 

cost of the rule’s testing, reporting, 

recordkeeping, and other certificationrelated provisions is comprised of time 

spent by testing organizations on behalf 

of manufacturers and importers, and 

time spent by firms to prepare, 

maintain, and submit records to CPSC. 

There are currently an estimated 59 

firms that import, distribute and/or sell 

multi-purpose lighters in the United 

States, which is a subset of the 

approximately 145 firms total that may 

import, distribute and/or sell these 

lighters in the future. With a few 

exceptions, most manufacturers and 

importers have more than one model, 

currently ranging from 1 to 130 models 

for each firm. Based on past experience, 

an estimate of two models per firm is a 

reasonable number to use for calculating 

burden. Each manufacturer would 

spend approximately 50 hours per 

model. Therefore, the total annual 

amount of time that will be required for 

complying with the testing, 

recordkeeping, and reporting 

requirements of the rule is 

approximately 5,900 hours (59 firms × 2 

models × 50 hours = 5,900 total hours 

requested). The annualized cost to 

respondents for the hour burden for 

collection of information is $335,887 

based on a total of 5,900 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 annual cost of the rule to the 

Federal government is comprised 

chiefly of the Commission’s resources 

for compliance and enforcement 

activities. An estimated 2 full-timeequivalent (‘‘FTE’’) staff years of effort 

are required to administer the rule 

annually. The Commission’s cost for 

these staff activities is approximately 

$170,000 per FTE. Thus, the annual cost 

of enforcing the rule to the Federal 

government is estimated to be about 

$340,000. This cost estimate includes 

the agency’s enforcement and field staff 

costs.
