SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 4, 2012,

the

agency's intention to seek extension of approval of the collection of 
information required in the Safety Standard for Omnidirectional 
Citizens Band Base Station (16 CFR Part 1204). No comments were 
received in response to that notice.
    The Safety Standard for Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base Station 
Antennas establishes performance requirements for omnidirectional 
citizens band base station antennas to reduce unreasonable risks of 
death and injury that may result if an antenna contacts overhead power 
lines while being erected or removed from its site. Certification 
regulations implementing the standard require manufacturers, importers, 
and private labelers of antennas subject to the standard to test 
antennas for compliance with the standard and to maintain records of 
that testing.
    The records of testing and other information required by the 
certification regulations allow the Commission to determine that 
antennas subject to the standard comply with its requirements. This 
information would also enable the Commission to obtain corrective 
actions if omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas failed 
to comply with the standard in a manner which creates a substantial 
risk of injury to the public.
    We estimate that about five firms manufacture or import citizens 
band base station antennas subject to the standard. We estimate that 
the certification regulations will impose an average annual burden of 
about 220 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 regulations on manufacturers and importers of citizens band base 
station antennas is approximately 1,100 hours.
    The hourly wage for the testing and recordkeeping required to 
conduct the testing and maintain records required by the regulations is 
approximately $61.75 (Bureau of Labor Statistics: total compensation 
for management, professional, and related workers in goods-producing 
private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs), for an estimated annual 
cost to the industry of $67,925.

    Dated: December 20, 2012.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
