regulations prescribe performance,
design, and labeling requirements for
full-size cribs. They also require
manufacturers and importers of those
products to maintain sales records for a
period of three years after the
manufacture or importation of full-size
cribs. If any full-size cribs subject to
provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and
Part 1508 fail to comply in a manner
severe enough to warrant a recall, the
required records can be used by the
manufacturer or importer and by the
Commission to identify those persons
and firms who should be notified of the
recall. 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 April 13, 2007.

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 three year extension of
approval of information collection
requirements in regulations codified at
16 CFR part 1019, which establish
procedures for export of noncomplying
products. These regulations implement
provisions of the Consumer Product
Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act, and the Flammable
Fabrics Act that require persons and
firms 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
by law to transmit the information
relating to the proposed exportation to
the government of the country of
intended destination. 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.

Based on a review of the number of
export requests received by the CPSC
during the last three years, the
Commission staff estimates that
approximately 75 notifications will be
received from an estimated 35 firms per
year. The staff further estimates that the
average time for each response is one
hour, for a total of 75 hours of annual
burden. The annualized cost to
respondents would be approximately
$3,400.00. (75 hours at $44.82/hour
based on total compensation for all
civilian workers in the U.S., July 2006,

AGENCY:
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 of
a collection of information from
manufacturers and importers of bicycle
helmets. The collection of information
is in regulations implementing the
Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets. 16
CFR Part 1203. These regulations
establish testing and recordkeeping
requirements for manufacturers and
importers of bicycle helmets subject to
the standard. The Commission will
consider all comments received in
response to this notice before requesting
an extension of 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 April 13, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1994,
Congress passed the ‘‘Child Safety
Protection Act,’’ which, among other
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
things, included the ‘‘Children’s Bicycle
Helmet Safety Act of 1994’’ Public Law
103–267, 108 Stat. 726. This law
directed the Commission to issue a final
standard applicable to bicycle helmets
that would replace several existing
voluntary standards with a single
uniform standard that would include
provisions to protect against the risk of
helmets coming off the heads of bicycle
riders, address the risk of injury to
children, and cover other issues as
appropriate. The Commission issued the
final bicycle helmet standard in 1998. It
is codified at 16 CFR Part 1203.
The standard requires all bicycle
helmets manufactured after March 10,
1999, to meet impact-attenuation and
other requirements. The standard also
contains testing and recordkeeping
requirements to ensure that bicycle
helmets meet the standard’s
requirements. Certification regulations
implementing the standard require
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of bicycle helmets subject to the
standard to (1) Perform tests to
demonstrate that those products meet
the requirements of the standard, (2)
maintain records of those tests, and (3)
affix durable labels to the helmets
stating that the helmet complies with
the applicable standard. The
certification regulations are codified at
16 CFR Part 1203, Subpart B.
The Commission uses the information
compiled and maintained by
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of bicycle helmets subject to the
standard to help protect the public from
risks of injury or death associated with
head injury associated with bicycle
riding. More specifically, this
information helps the Commission
determine whether bicycle helmets
subject to the standard comply with all
applicable requirements. The
Commission also uses this information
to obtain corrective actions if bicycle
helmets fail to comply with the standard
in a manner that creates a substantial
risk of injury to the public.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approved the collection of
information in the certification
regulations under control number 3041–
0127. The Commission now proposes to
request an extension of approval for the
collection of information in the
certification regulations.
A. Estimated Burden
The Commission staff estimates that
approximately 30 firms manufacture or
import bicycle helmets subject to the
standard. There are an estimated 200
different models of bicycle helmets
currently marketed in the U.S. The
Commission staff estimates that the time
PO 00000
Frm 00019

required to comply with the collection
of information requirements is
approximately 100 to 150 hours per
model per year. The total amount of
time estimated for compliance with
these requirements will be 20,000 to
30,000 hours per year (200 models ×
100–150 hours/model = 20,000–30,000
hours). The annualized cost to
respondents for the hour burden for
collection of information is $896,000–
$1,345,000 based on 20,000–30,000
hours times $44.82/hour (based on total
compensation of all civilian workers in
managerial and professional positions in
the U.S., July 2006, Bureau of Labor
Statistics).
B. 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,
