Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 8, 2009 / Notices 32571 

1211, Subparts B and C. The 

Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by 

manufacturers and importers of 

residential garage door operators to 

protect consumers from risks of death 

and injury resulting from entrapment 

accidents associated with garage door 

operators. More specifically, the 

Commission uses this information to 

determine whether the products 

produced and imported by those firms 

comply with the standard. The 

Commission also uses this information 

to facilitate corrective action if any 

residential garage door operators fail to 

comply with the standard in a manner 

that creates a substantial risk of injury 

to the public. 

B. Estimated Burden 

The Commission staff estimates that 

about 21 firms are subject to the testing 

and recordkeeping requirements of the 

certification regulations. The staff 

estimates that each respondent will 

spend 40 hours annually on the 

collection of information for a total of 

about 840 hours. The estimated total 

annual cost to industry is approximately 

$22,800 based on 840 hours × $27.14 

(the average hourly total compensation 

for sales and office workers in goodsproducing industries, Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, September 2008). 

The Commission staff will expend 

approximately 6 staff months reviewing 

records required to be maintained for 

automatic residential garage door 

operators. The annual cost to the 

Federal government of the collection of 

information in these regulations is 

estimated to be $83,000. 

C. 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 

minimized by use of automated, 

electronic or other technological 

collection techniques, or other forms 

of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

In 1982, the Commission issued the 

Safety Standard for Omnidirectional 

Citizens Band Antennas (16 CFR Part 

1204) to reduce risks of death and 

serious injury that may result if an 

omnidirectional antenna contacts an 

overhead power line while being 

erected or removed from its site. The 

standard contains performance tests to 

demonstrate that an antenna will not 

transmit a harmful electric current if it 

contacts an electric power line with a 

voltage of 14,500 volts phase-to-ground. 

Certification regulations implementing 

the standard require manufacturers, 

importers, and private labelers of 

antennas subject to the standard to 

perform tests to demonstrate that those 

products meet the requirements of the 

standard, and to maintain records of 

those tests. The certification regulations 

are codified at 16 CFR Part 1204, 

Subpart B. 

The Commission uses the information 

compiled and maintained by 

manufacturers, importers, and private 

labelers of antennas subject to the 

standard to help protect the public from 

risks of injury or death associated with 

omnidirectional citizens band base 

station antennas. More specifically, this 

information helps the Commission 

determine that antennas subject to the 

standard comply with all applicable 

requirements. The Commission also 

uses this information to obtain 

corrective actions if omnidirectional 

citizens band base station antennas fail 

to comply with the standard in a 

manner which creates a substantial risk 

of injury to the public. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information in the certification 

regulations under control number 3041– 

0006. OMB’s most recent extension of 

approval expires on September 30, 

2009. The Commission now proposes to 

request an extension of approval 

without change for the collection of 

information in the certification 

regulations. 

B. Estimated Burden 

The Commission staff estimates that 

about 5 firms manufacture or import 

citizens band base station antennas 

subject to the standard. The 

Commission staff estimates 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 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

32572 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 8, 2009 / Notices 

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 about $54.88 (average 

total compensation for management, 

professional, and related for all workers, 

goods-producing industries, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, September 2008, for an 

estimated annual cost to the industry of 

$60,400. 

The Commission staff will expend 

approximately 40 hours reviewing 

records required to be maintained for 

omnidirectional citizens band base 

station antennas. The annual cost to the 

Federal government of the collection of 

information in these regulations is 

estimated to be $3,200. 

C. 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 

minimized by use of automated, 

electronic or other technological 

collection techniques, or other forms 

of information technology.

Information Collection; Comment 

Request—Electrically Operated Toys 

and Children’s Articles 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), 

the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (CPSC or Commission) 

requests comments on a proposed 

extension of approval of a collection of 

information from manufacturers and 

importers of certain electrically 

operated toys and children’s articles. 

The collection of information consists of 

testing and recordkeeping requirements 

in regulations entitled ‘‘Requirements 

for Electrically Operated Toys or Other 

Electrically Operated Articles Intended 

for Use by Children,’’ codified at 16 CFR 

Part 1505. 

The Commission will consider all 

comments received in response to this 

notice before requesting an extension of 

this collection of information from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). 

DATES: The Office of the Secretary must

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1973, 

the Commission issued safety 

requirements for electrically operated 

toys and children’s articles to protect 

children from unreasonable risks of 

injury from electric shock, electrical 

burns, and thermal burns. These 

regulations are codified at 16 CFR Part 

1505 and were issued under the 

authority of sections 2 and 3 of the 

Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 

U.S.C. 1261, 1262). 

A. Requirements for Electrically 

Operated Toys 

These regulations are applicable to 

toys, games, and other articles intended 

for use by children that are powered by 

electrical current from a nominal 120 

volt circuit. Video games and articles 

designed primarily for use by adults that 

may be incidentally used by children 

are not subject to these regulations. 

The regulations prescribe design, 

construction, performance, and labeling 

requirements for electrically operated 

toys and children’s articles. The 

regulations also require manufacturers 

and importers of those products to 

develop and maintain a quality 

assurance program. Additionally, 

section 1505.4(a)(3) of the regulations 

requires those firms to maintain records 

for three years containing information 

about: (1) The material and production 

specifications and the description of the 

quality assurance program required by 

16 CFR 1505.4(a)(2); (2) the results of all 

inspections and tests conducted; and (3) 

records of sales and distribution. 

OMB approved the collection of 

information requirements in the 

regulations under control number 3041– 

0035. OMB’s most recent extension of 

approval expires on September 30, 

2009. The Commission now proposes to 

request an extension of approval for the 

information collection requirements in 

the regulations. 

The safety need for this collection of 

information remains. Specifically, if a 

manufacturer or importer distributes 

products that violate the requirements 

of the regulations, the records required 

by section 1505.4(a)(3) can be used by 

the firm and the Commission to: (i) 

Identify specific lots or production lines 

of products which fail to comply with 

applicable requirements; and (ii) notify 

distributors and retailers in the event 

the products are subject to recall. 

B. Estimated Burden 

The Commission staff estimates that 

about 40 firms are subject to the testing 

and recordkeeping requirements of the 

regulations. Each one may have an 

average of ten products each year for 

which testing and recordkeeping would 

be required, resulting in approximately 

400 records. The Commission staff 

estimates that the tests required by the 

regulations can be performed on one 

product in 16 hours and that 

recordkeeping can be performed for one 

product in four hours. Thus, the 

estimated testing burden hours are 6,400 

(16 hours × 400) and the estimated 

recordkeeping burden hours are 1,600 

hours (400 records × 4 hours). 

The Commission staff estimates that 

each firm may spend 30 minutes or less 

per model on the labeling requirements. 

Assuming each firm produces 10 new 

models each year, the estimated labeling 

burden hours are 200 hours (40 firms × 

10 models per firm × 0.5 hours per 

model = 200 hours) per year. The 

estimated total burden hours for 

recordkeeping and labeling are 1,800 

hours for all firms (1,600 hours for 

recordkeeping + 200 hours for labeling). 

The CPSC staff estimates that the 

hourly wage for the time required to 

perform the required testing and 

recordkeeping is approximately $54.88
