Glatz, Office of Planning and Evaluation, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814; telephone (301) 504–7671. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990, Congress enacted legislation requiring residential garage door operators to comply with the provisions of a VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:54 May 12, 2006 Jkt 208001 standard published by Underwriters Laboratories to protect against entrapment. (The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101–608, 104 Stat. 3110.) The entrapment protection requirements of UL Standard 325 are codified into the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators, 16 CFR part 1211. Automatic residential garage door operators must comply with the latest edition of the Commission’s regulations at 16 CFR part 1211. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the collection of information concerning the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators under control number 3041–0125. OMB’s most recent approval will expire on July 31, 2006. The Commission now proposes to request an extension of approval without changes of this collection of information. A. Certification Requirements The Improvement Act provides that UL Standard 325 shall be considered to be a consumer product safety standard issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission under section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2058). Section 14(a) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2063(a)) requires manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of a consumer product subject to a consumer product safety standard to issue a certificate stating that the product complies with all applicable consumer product safety standards. Section 14(a) of the CPSA also requires that the certificate of compliance must be based on a test of each product or upon a reasonable testing program. Section 14(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2063(b)) authorizes the Commission to issue regulations to prescribe a reasonable testing program to support certificates of compliance with a consumer product safety standard. Section 14(b) of the CPSA allows firms that are required to issue certificates of compliance to use an independent third-party organization to conduct the testing required to support the certificate of compliance. Section 16(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2065(b)) authorizes the Commission to issue rules to require establishment and maintenance of records necessary to implement the CPSA or determine compliance with rules issued under the authority of the CPSA. On December 22, 1992, the Commission issued rules prescribing requirements for a reasonable testing program to support certificates of compliance with the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (57 PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28017 FR 60449). These regulations also require manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of residential garage door operators to establish and maintain records to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for testing to support certification of compliance. 16 CFR part 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 22 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 880 hours. Using an hourly rate of $42.82, based on Total compensation, private goods-producing section, managerial, executive, and administrative category, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2005, the total industry cost would be $37,700. 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.

ACTION: Notice of intent. AGENCY: Meeting Agenda [OJP (OJJDP) Docket No. 1454] DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Sfmt 4703 SUMMARY: The Neuse River Basin is the third largest basin in North Carolina, encompassing a total area of about 6,235 square miles. The Neuse River originates in north central North Carolina and flows southeasterly until it reaches tidal waters of Pamlico Sound. Water quality in the Neuse River Basin has become degraded from multiple causes, including: Rapidly expanding urban growth with increasingly rapid runoff from storm events; deforestation; expanding high-density livestock operations; and aging wastewater infrastructure. Fish and wildlife populations have suffered declines in diversity and vigor; and waterborne fish diseases have now become apparent, especially Pfiesteria. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, in cooperation with the State of North Carolina Division of Water Resources has initiated the Neuse River Basin Feasibility Study in North Carolina. The purpose of the feasibility study is to develop and evaluate basin wide alternatives to improve water quality, restore anadromous fish passage, wetlands, stream, riparian buffer, and oyster habitat. We will also investigate flood damage reduction. The focus of this study is to identify resource problems, needs, and opportunities and develop solutions. The feasibility study is being carried out under the Corps of Engineers General Investigation Program and is being conducted in response to a congressional resolution adopted July 23, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions about the proposed action and DEIS can be answered by: Mr. Hugh Heine; Environmental Resources Section; U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington; P.O. Box 1890; Wilmington, NC 28402–1890; telephone: (910) 251–4070. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This study will investigate the following alternatives: No action alternative, restoration of wetland and stream habitats as well as riparian buffers which serve as natural filtering systems, oyster habitat restoration, removal or modification of low head dams and culverts to restore anadromous fish E:\FR\FM\15MYN1.SGM 15MYN1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission requests comments on a 
proposed request for extension of approval of a collection of 
information from manufacturers and importers of residential garage door 
operators. The collection of information consists of testing and 
recordkeeping requirements in certification regulations implementing 
the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (16 
CFR part 1211). The Commission will consider all comments received in 
response to this notice before requesting approval of this extension of 
a collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget.

DATES: The Office of the Secretary must receive written comments not 
later than July 14, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be captioned ``Residential Garage 
Door Operators'' and e-mailed to the Office of the Secretary at cpsc-
os@cpsc.gov. Comments may also be sent by facsimile to (301) 504-0127, 
or by mail to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety 
Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the proposed 
extension of approval of the collection of information, or to obtain a 
copy of 16 CFR part 1211, call or write Linda L. Glatz, Office of 
Planning and Evaluation, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East 
West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814; telephone (301) 504-7671.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990, Congress enacted legislation 
requiring residential garage door operators to comply with the 
provisions of a standard published by Underwriters Laboratories to 
protect against entrapment. (The Consumer Product Safety Improvement 
Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-608, 104 Stat. 3110.) The entrapment 
protection requirements of UL Standard 325 are codified into the Safety 
Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators, 16 CFR part 
1211. Automatic residential garage door operators must comply with the 
latest edition of the Commission's regulations at 16 CFR part 1211.
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the collection 
of information concerning the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential 
Garage Door Operators under control number 3041-0125. OMB's most recent 
approval will expire on July 31, 2006. The Commission now proposes to 
request an extension of approval without changes of this collection of 
information.

A. Certification Requirements

    The Improvement Act provides that UL Standard 325 shall be 
considered to be a consumer product safety standard issued by the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission under section 9 of the Consumer 
Product Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2058). Section 14(a) of the CPSA 
(15 U.S.C. 2063(a)) requires manufacturers, importers, and private 
labelers of a consumer product subject to a consumer product safety 
standard to issue a certificate stating that the product complies with 
all applicable consumer product safety standards. Section 14(a) of the 
CPSA also requires that the certificate of compliance must be based on 
a test of each product or upon a reasonable testing program.
    Section 14(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2063(b)) authorizes the 
Commission to issue regulations to prescribe a reasonable testing 
program to support certificates of compliance with a consumer product 
safety standard. Section 14(b) of the CPSA allows firms that are 
required to issue certificates of compliance to use an independent 
third-party organization to conduct the testing required to support the 
certificate of compliance.
    Section 16(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2065(b)) authorizes the 
Commission to issue rules to require establishment and maintenance of 
records necessary to implement the CPSA or determine compliance with 
rules issued under the authority of the CPSA. On December 22, 1992, the 
Commission issued rules prescribing requirements for a reasonable 
testing program to support certificates of compliance with the Safety 
Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (57 FR 60449). 
These regulations also require manufacturers, importers, and private 
labelers of residential garage door operators to establish and maintain 
records to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for testing to 
support certification of compliance. 16 CFR part 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 22 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 
880 hours. Using an hourly rate of $42.82, based on Total compensation, 
private goods-producing section, managerial, executive, and 
administrative category, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2005, 
the total industry cost would be $37,700.

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.
