ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The information collection requirements in a Commission coal and woodburning appliance rule have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB control number 3041–0040. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission now requests comments on a proposed extension of approval of those information collection requirements for a period of three years from the date of approval by the OMB. The rule, codified at 16 CFR part 1406, requires manufacturers and importers of certain coal and woodburning appliances to provide safety information to consumers on labels and instructions and an explanation of how certain clearance distances in those labels and instructions were determined. The requirements to provide copies of labels and instructions to the Commission have been in effect since May 16, 1984. For this reason, the information burden imposed by this rule is limited to manufacturers and importers introducing new products or models, or making changes to labels, instructions, or information previously provided to the Commission. The purposes of the reporting requirements in part 1406 are to reduce risks of injuries from fires associated with the installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliances that are subject to the rule, and to assist the Commission in determining the extent to which manufacturers and importers comply with the requirements in part 1406. 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 September 19, 2005. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be captioned ‘‘Notification Requirements for Coal and Wood Burning Stoves’’ and mailed to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207, or delivered to that office, room 502, 4330 East-West VerDate jul<14>2003 14:24 Jul 19, 2005 Jkt 205001 Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814.

The staff further estimates that the average number of hours per respondent is three per year, for a total of about 15 hours of annual burden (5 × 3 = 15). B.
