Commission requested comments on a proposed three year extension of 
approval of information collection requirements in regulations codified 
at 16 CFR part 1019, which establish procedures for export of 
noncomplying, misbranded, or banned products. These regulations 
implement provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal 
Hazardous Substances Act, and the Flammable Fabrics Act, as amended by 
the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. Persons and firms 
are required to notify the Commission before exporting any product that 
fails to comply with an applicable standard or regulation enforced 
under provisions of those laws. The Commission is required to transmit 
the information relating to the proposed exportation to the government 
of the country of intended destination. In addition, for any consumer 
product that is not in conformity with an applicable consumer product 
safety rule, exports from the United States may be prohibited unless 
the importing country has notified the Commission that such country 
accepts the importation of such consumer product. 15 U.S.C. 2067.
    In the Federal Register of May 18, 2010 (75 FR 27732), the CPSC 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows. Based on a review of the number of export requests received by 
the CPSC during the last three years, the CPSC staff estimates that 
approximately 44 notifications will be received from an estimated 20 
firms per year. The staff further estimates that the average time for 
each response is one hour, for a total of 44 hours of annual burden. 
The annualized cost to respondents would be approximately $2,505. (44 
hours at $56.93 per hour based on total compensation of all management, 
professional, and related occupations in goods-producing industries in 
the United States, September 2009, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
    The estimated annual cost of the information collection 
requirements to the Federal government is approximately $14,000. The 
staff estimates that it takes about three hours to process an export 
notification and enter the information in the appropriate database. The 
receipt and processing of 44 notifications would require approximately 
132 staff hours or approximately 1 staff month per year.

    Dated: August 25, 2010.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
