CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY

COMMISSION

Notification of Request for Extension

of Approval of Information Collection

Requirements—Testing and

Recordkeeping Requirements Under

the Standard for the Flammability of

Mattresses and Mattress Pads

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In the April 7, 1998 Federal

Register (63 FR 16989), the Consumer

Product Safety Commission published a

notice in accordance with provisions of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the

agency’s intention to seek an extension

of approval through September 30,

2001, of information collection

requirements in the Standard for the

Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress

Pads (16 CFR Part 1632).

In response to the Federal Register

notice, one comment was received, from

the American Textile Manufacturers

Institute (ATMI). In its comment, ATMI

supported the extension of approval of

the collection of information, adding

that ‘‘the costs incurred with this data

collection are minimal and are now part

of business practices for these two

industry sectors.’’ The Commission now

announces that it has submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget a

request for extension of approval of that

collection of information.

The standard is intended 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. Sale or distribution of

mattresses without successful

completion of the testing required by

the standard violates section 3 of the

Flammable Fabrics Act (15 USC 1192).

An enforcement rule implementing the

standard requires manufacturers to

maintain records of testing performed in

accordance with the standard and other

information about the mattress or

mattress pads which they produce.

ability to perform its statutory

obligations. The Acting Deputy Chief

Information Officer, publishes this

notice containing proposed information

this collection necessary to the proper

functions of the Department; (2) will

this information be processed and used
