CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In the March 1, 2007 Federal
Register (72 FR 9310), the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC or
Commission) published a notice in
accordance with provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the
agency’s intention to seek extension of
approval of the collection of information
in the Safety Standard for Multi-Purpose
Lighters. 16 CFR part 1212. No
comments were received in response to
the notice. The Commission now
announces that it is submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for extension of
approval of that collection of
information for a period of three years
from the date of approval.
Section 14(a) of the Consumer
Product Safety Act (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 authorizes
the Commission to issue regulations to
prescribe a reasonable testing program
to support certificates of compliance
with a consumer product safety
standard. Section 16(b) of the CPSA (15
U.S.C. 2065(b)) authorizes the
Commission to issue rules to require
that firms ‘‘establish and maintain’’
records to permit the Commission to
determine compliance with rules issued
under the authority of the CPSA.
The Commission has issued
regulations prescribing requirements for
a reasonable testing program to support
certificates of compliance with the
standard for multi-purpose lighters.
These regulations require manufacturers
and importers to submit a description of
each model of lighter, results of
prototype qualification tests for
compliance with the standard, and other
information before the introduction of
each model of lighter into commerce.
These regulations also require
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of multi-purpose lighters to
establish and maintain records to
demonstrate successful completion of
all required tests to support the
certificates of compliance that they
issue. 16 CFR part 1212, subpart B.
The Commission uses the information
compiled and maintained by
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of multi-purpose lighters to
protect consumers from risks of
accidental deaths and burn injuries
associated with those lighters. More
specifically, the Commission uses this
information to determine whether
lighters comply with the standard by
resisting operation by young children.
The Commission also uses this
information to obtain corrective actions
if multipurpose lighters fail to comply
with the standard in a manner that
creates a substantial risk of injury to the
public.
OMB approved the collection of
information in the certification
regulations for multi-purpose lighters
under control number 3041–0130.
OMB’s current approval will expire on
July 31, 2007. The Commission is
requesting an extension of approval for
these collection of information
requirements.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
Notification of Request for Extension
of Approval of Information Collection
Requirements—Testing and
Recordkeeping Requirements Under
the Standard for the Flammability of
Mattresses and Mattress Pads
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice.
In the March 1, 2007 Federal
Register (72 FR 9311), the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC or
Commission) published a notice in
accordance with provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the
agency’s intention to seek an extension
of approval of information collection
requirements in the Standard for the
Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress
Pads. 16 CFR part 1632. Comments were
received from Barbara Lafferty and
Clifford Nopp opposing a new standard
for the flammability (open flame) of
mattress sets under 16 CFR part 1633.
Gabe Owens submitted comments
stating that part 1632 should be
terminated and superseded by the
requirements in part 1633. These
comments do not pertain to the
collection of information requirements
under part 1632. These comments
should have been submitted in, and
similar comments previously were
addressed in the rulemaking proceeding
promulgating 16 CFR part 1633, which
is now codified. Accordingly, the
Commission now announces that it is
submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for
extension of approval of this collection
of information.
The standard is intended to reduce
unreasonable risks of burn injuries and
deaths from fires associated with
mattresses and mattress pads. The
standard prescribes a test to assure that
a mattress or mattress pad will resist
ignition from a smoldering cigarette.
The standard requires manufacturers
and importers to perform prototype tests
of each combination of materials and
construction methods used to produce
mattresses or mattress pads and to
obtain acceptable results from such
testing. Manufacturers and importers are
required to maintain the records and
test results specified under the standard.
OMB previously approved the
collection of information under control
number 3041–0014. OMB’s most recent
extension of approval will expire on
August 31, 2007.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information
Collection Requirements--Safety Standard for Multi-Purpose Lighters
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the March 1, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 9310), the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a
notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek
extension of approval of the collection of information in the Safety
Standard for Multi-Purpose Lighters. 16 CFR part 1212. No comments were
received in response to the notice. The Commission now announces that
it is submitting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request
for extension of approval of that collection of information for a
period of three years from the date of approval.
Section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C.
2063(a)) requires manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of a
[[Page 30780]]
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 authorizes the Commission to issue
regulations to prescribe a reasonable testing program to support
certificates of compliance with a consumer product safety standard.
Section 16(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2065(b)) authorizes the Commission
to issue rules to require that firms ``establish and maintain'' records
to permit the Commission to determine compliance with rules issued
under the authority of the CPSA.
The Commission has issued regulations prescribing requirements for
a reasonable testing program to support certificates of compliance with
the standard for multi-purpose lighters. These regulations require
manufacturers and importers to submit a description of each model of
lighter, results of prototype qualification tests for compliance with
the standard, and other information before the introduction of each
model of lighter into commerce. These regulations also require
manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of multi-purpose
lighters to establish and maintain records to demonstrate successful
completion of all required tests to support the certificates of
compliance that they issue. 16 CFR part 1212, subpart B.
The Commission uses the information compiled and maintained by
manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of multi-purpose
lighters to protect consumers from risks of accidental deaths and burn
injuries associated with those lighters. More specifically, the
Commission uses this information to determine whether lighters comply
with the standard by resisting operation by young children. The
Commission also uses this information to obtain corrective actions if
multipurpose lighters fail to comply with the standard in a manner that
creates a substantial risk of injury to the public.
OMB approved the collection of information in the certification
regulations for multi-purpose lighters under control number 3041-0130.
OMB's current approval will expire on July 31, 2007. The Commission is
requesting an extension of approval for these collection of information
requirements.
