hourly non-farm wage figure, U.S.

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
