The CPSC staff estimates that the
annualized cost to all respondents is
approximately $2,300.84 based on an
hourly wage of $47.44 per hour ($47.44
× 48.5). (Bureau of Labor Statistics
(‘‘BLS’’), December 2008, all workers,
service, management, professional, and
related).
The CPSC staff estimates that it will
take an average of 2.5 hours to review
the information collected from the oral
communications with pool owners/
operators or staff. The annual cost to the
Federal government of the collection of
information in these regulations is
estimated to be $19,361.21. This is
based on an average wage rate of $55.97
(the equivalent of a GS–14 Step 5
employee). This represents 70.1 percent
of total compensation with an
additional 29.9 percent coming from
benefits (BLS, September 2008,
percentage total benefits for all civilian
management, professional, and related
employees), or $79.84 × 242.5 hours.
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:

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

33417), the Consumer Product Safety
Commission published a notice in
accordance with provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the

approval of the collection of information
required in the Safety Standard for
Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers (16
CFR part 1205). One comment was
received in support of the proposed
collection of information in response to

The Safety Standard for Walk-Behind
Power Lawn Mowers establishes
performance and labeling requirements
for mowers to reduce unreasonable risks
of injury resulting from accidental
contact with the moving blades of
mowers. Certification regulations
implementing the standard require

manufacturers, importers and private
labelers of mowers subject to the
standard to test mowers for compliance
with the standard, and to maintain
records of that testing. The records of
testing and other information required
by the certification regulations allow the
Commission to determine that walkbehind power mowers subject to the
standard comply with its requirements.
This information also enables the
Commission to obtain corrective actions
if mowers fail to comply with the
standard in a manner that creates a
substantial risk of injury to the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register of July 8, 2009 (74 FR
32573), the Consumer Product Safety
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 Cigarette
Lighters (16 CFR Part 1210). One
comment was received in response to
the July 8, 2009 notice, stating that the
continued testing and data collection
should not be collected annually since
it is unlikely that new lighters are
manufactured differently than existing
lighters.
The regulations at 16 CFR part 1210,
subpart B, do not require annual testing
or certification of each new lighter. The
Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters
requires disposable and novelty lighters
to be manufactured with a mechanism
to resist operation by children younger
than five years of age. Certification
regulations implementing the standard
require manufacturers and importers to
submit to the Commission a description
of each model of lighter, results of
prototype qualification tests for
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
compliance with the standard, and a
physical specimen of the lighter before
the introduction of each model of lighter
in commerce. Moreover, the regulations
at 16 CFR 1210.14, allows for testing
purposes, the comparison of a new
model to a previously tested model, as
long as the differences between the two
do not adversely affect the childresistance feature or design of the
lighter.
The Commission uses the records of
testing and other information required
by the certification regulations to
determine that disposable and novelty
lighters have been tested and certified
for compliance with the standard by the
manufacturer or importer. The
Commission also uses this information
to obtain corrective actions if disposable
or novelty lighters fail to comply with
the standard in a manner that creates a
substantial risk of injury to the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–608, 104 Stat.
3110) requires all automatic residential
garage door openers manufactured after
January 1, 1993, to comply with the
entrapment protection requirements of
UL Standard 325 that were in effect on
January 1, 1992. In 1992, the
Commission codified the entrapment
protection provisions of UL Standard
325 in effect on January 1, 1992, as the
Safety Standard for Automatic
Residential Garage Door Operators, 16
CFR part 1211, subpart A. Certification
regulations implementing the standard
require manufacturers, importers and
private labelers of garage door operators
subject to the standard to test their
products for compliance with the
standard, and to maintain records of
that testing. Those regulations are
codified at 16 CFR part 1211, subparts
B and C.
