21374 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 83 / Monday, April 30, 2001 / Notices

Chapter 35), the Consumer Product

Safety Commission requests comments

on a proposed extension of approval

through August 31, 2004, of information

collection requirements in the safety

regulations for non-full-size cribs

codified at 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and

Part 1509. These regulations were

issued to reduce hazards of

strangulation, suffocation, pinching,

bruising, laceration, and other injuries

associated with non-full-size cribs. (A

non-full-size crib is a crib having an

interior length greater than 55 inches or

smaller than 493⁄4 inches; or an interior

width greater than 305⁄8 inches or

smaller than 253⁄8 inches; or both.) The

regulations prescribe performance,

design, and labeling requirements for

non-full-size cribs. They also require

manufacturers and importers of those

products to maintain sales records for a

period of three years after the

manufacture or importation of non-fullsize cribs. If any non-full-size cribs

subject to provisions of 16 CFR

1500.18(a)(14) and Part 1509 fail to

comply in a manner severe enough to

warrant a recall, the required records

can be used by the manufacturer or

importer and by the Commission to

identify those persons and firms who

should be notified of the recall. The

Commission will consider all comments

received in response to this notice

before requesting approval of this

collection of information from the Office

of Management and Budget.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by the Office of the Secretary

not later than June 29, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be captioned ‘‘Collection of

Information—Requirements Under the

Safety Regulations for Non-Full-Size

Cribs’’ and mailed to the Office of the

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety

Commission, Washington, DC 20207, or

delivered to that office, room 502, 4330

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Estimated Burden

The Commission staff estimates that

there are 16 firms required to annually

maintain sales records of non-full-size

cribs. The staff further estimates that the

of annual burden (16 × 5 = 80). The

annualized cost to respondents for the

collection of information is $1,080,

based on a total of 80 hours at $13.50

per hour (the average hourly non-farm

wage figure, U.S. Statistical Abstract,

2000).

B. 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

through August 31, 2004, of information

collection requirements in the safety

regulations for full-size cribs codified at

16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and Part 1508.

These regulations were issued to reduce

hazards of strangulation, suffocation,

injuries associated with full-size cribs.

(A full-size crib is a crib having an

interior length of 523⁄8 ± 5⁄8 inches and

full-size cribs. They also require

manufacturers and importers of those

products to maintain sales records for a

period of three years after the

manufacture or importation of full-size

cribs. If any full-size cribs subject to

provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and

Part 1508 fail to comply in a manner

severe enough to warrant a recall, the

required records can be used by the

manufacturer or importer and by the

Commission to identify those persons

and firms who should be notified of the

recall. The Commission will consider all

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY

COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request—Testing and Recordkeeping

Requirements Under the Standard for

the Flammability of Mattresses and

Mattress Pads

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork

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

Chapter 35), the Consumer Product

Safety Commission requests comments

on a proposed extension of approval

through August 31, 2004, of information

collection requirements in the Standard

for the Flammability of Mattresses and

Mattress Pads (16 CFR part 1632). 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 U.S.C. 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 mattresses or

mattress pads that they produce. The

Commission will consider all comments

received in response to this notice

before requesting approval of this

collection of information from the Office

of Management and Budget.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by the Office of the Secretary

not later than June 29, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be captioned ‘‘Collection of

Information—Mattress Flammability

Standard’’ and mailed to the Office of

the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety

Commission, Washington, DC 20207, or

delivered to that office, room 502, 4330
