ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC or

proposed request for extension of 

approval of a collection of information 

from manufacturers and importers of 

clothing, textiles and related materials 

intended for use in clothing under the 

Standard for the Flammability of 

Clothing Textiles (16 CFR part 1610) 

and the Standard for the Flammability 

of Vinyl Plastic Film (16 CFR part 1611). 

These regulations establish 

requirements for testing and 

recordkeeping for manufacturers and 

importers who furnish guaranties for 

products subject to these standards. The 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) previously approved the 

collection of information under control 

number 3041–0024. OMB’s most recent 

extension of approval will expire on 

August 31, 2013. The Commission will 

consider all comments received in 

response to this notice before requesting 

an extension of approval of this 

collection of information from OMB. 

DATES: The Office of the Secretary must 

receive comments not later than August 

13, 2013.

The Commission does not accept 

comments submitted by electronic mail 

(email), except through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Clothing and fabrics intended for use 

in clothing (except children’s sleepwear 

in sizes 0 through 14) are subject to the 

Standard for the Flammability of 

Clothing Textiles (16 CFR part 1610). 

Clothing made from vinyl plastic film 

and vinyl plastic film intended for use 

in clothing (except children’s sleepwear 

in sizes 0 through 14) are subject to the 

Standard for the Flammability of Vinyl 

Plastic Film (16 CFR part 1611). These 

standards prescribe a test to assure that 

articles of wearing apparel, and fabrics 

and film intended for use in wearing 

apparel, are not dangerously flammable 

because of rapid and intense burning. 

(Children’s sleepwear and fabrics and 

related materials intended for use in 

children’s sleepwear in sizes 0 through 

14 are subject to other, more stringent 

flammability standards codified at 16 

CFR parts 1615 and 1616.) The 

flammability standards for clothing 

textiles and vinyl plastic film were 

made mandatory by the Flammable 

Fabrics Act of 1953 (FFA) (Pub. L. 83– 

88, 67 Stat. 111; June 30, 1953). 

Section 8 of the FFA (15 U.S.C. 1197) 

provides that a person who receives a 

guaranty in good faith that a product 

complies with an applicable 

flammability standard is not subject to 

criminal prosecution for a violation of 

the FFA resulting from the sale of any 

product covered by the guaranty. The 

Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by firms that 

issue these guaranties to help protect 

the public from risks of injury or death 

associated with clothing and fabrics and 

vinyl film intended for use in clothing. 

In addition, the information helps the 

Commission arrange corrective actions 

if any products covered by a guaranty 

fail to comply with the applicable 

standard in a manner that creates a 

substantial risk of injury or death to the 

public. Section 8 of the FFA requires 

that a guaranty must be based on 

‘‘reasonable and representative tests.’’ 

The testing and recordkeeping 

requirements by firms that issue 

guaranties are set forth under 16 CFR 

part 1610, subpart B, and 16 CFR part 

1611, subpart B. 

B. Burden Hours 

The Commission estimates that 

approximately 1,000 manufacturers and 

importers of garments, textiles, and 

related materials issue guaranties. The 

Commission estimates that the 

flammability standards for clothing 

textiles and vinyl plastic film and 

enforcement regulations impose an 

average annual burden of about 101.6 

hours on each of those firms. That 

burden will result from conducting the 

testing required by the regulations and 

maintaining records of the results of that 

testing. The total annual burden 

imposed by the flammability standards 

for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic 

film and enforcement regulations on 

manufacturers and importers of 

garments, fabrics, and related materials 

is about 101,600 hours. 

The hourly wage for the testing and 

recordkeeping required by the standards 

is about $61.06 (for management, 

professional, and related occupations in 

goods-producing industries, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, December 2012), for an 

estimated annual cost to the industry of 

approximately $6.2 million (101,600 × 

$61.06). 

The estimated annual cost of the 

information collection requirements to 

the federal government is approximately 

$3,264, which includes 80 staff hours to 

examine and evaluate the information as 

needed for Compliance activities. This 

is based on a GS–12 level salaried 

employee. The average hourly wage rate 

for a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee 

in the Washington, DC metropolitan 

area (effective as of January 2011) is 

$40.80 (GS–12, step 5). This represents 

69.5 percent of total compensation (U.S. 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer 

Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ 

December 2012, Table 1, percentage of 

wages and salaries for all civilian 

management, professional, and related 

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

Adding an additional 30.5 percent for 

benefits brings average hourly 

compensation for a mid-level salaried 

GS–12 employee to $58.70. 

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.
