Title: Safety Standard for MultiPurpose Lighters—16 CFR part 1212
(OMB Control Number 3041–0130—
Extension).
Description: Section 14(a)(1) 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
under the Consumer Product Safety Act
(‘‘CPSA’’) or similar rule, ban, standard,
or regulation under any other act
enforced by the Commission to issue a
certificate stating that the product
complies with all applicable rules, bans,
standards or regulations.
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 under
the CPSA or similar rule, ban, standard,
or regulation under any other act
enforced by the Commission. 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:22 May 17, 2010
Jkt 220001
lighters comply with the standard by
resisting operation by young children.
The Commission also uses this
information to obtain corrective actions
if multi-purpose 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. The
Commission proposes to request an
extension of approval for this collection
of information requirements.
We estimate the burden of this
collection of information as follows. The
cost of the rule’s testing, reporting,
recordkeeping, and other certificationrelated provisions is comprised of time
spent by testing organizations on behalf
of manufacturers and importers, and
time spent by firms to prepare,
maintain, and submit records to CPSC.
There are currently an estimated 59
firms that import, distribute and/or sell
multi-purpose lighters in the United
States, which is a subset of the
approximately 145 firms total that may
import, distribute and/or sell these
lighters in the future. With a few
exceptions, most manufacturers and
importers have more than one model,
currently ranging from 1 to 130 models
for each firm. Based on past experience,
an estimate of two models per firm is a
reasonable number to use for calculating
burden. Each manufacturer would
spend approximately 50 hours per
model. Therefore, the total annual
amount of time that will be required for
complying with the testing,
recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements of the rule is
approximately 5,900 hours (59 firms × 2
models × 50 hours = 5,900 total hours
requested). The annualized cost to
respondents for the hour burden for
collection of information is $335,887
based on a total of 5,900 hours at
$56.93/hour (based on total
compensation of all management,
professional, and related occupations in
goods-producing industries in the
United States, September 2009, Bureau
of Labor Statistics).
The annual cost of the rule to the
Federal government is comprised
chiefly of the Commission’s resources
for compliance and enforcement
activities. An estimated 2 full-timeequivalent (‘‘FTE’’) staff years of effort
are required to administer the rule
annually. The Commission’s cost for
these staff activities is approximately
$170,000 per FTE. Thus, the annual cost
of enforcing the rule to the Federal
government is estimated to be about
$340,000. This cost estimate includes

Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c)
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CPSC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, the CPSC
invites comments on these topics: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of CPSC’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Title: Export of Noncomplying,
Misbranded, or Banned Products—16
CFR part 1019 (OMB Control Number
3041–0003—Extension).
Description: The 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, misbranded, or banned
products. These regulations implement
provisions of the Consumer Product
Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act, and the Flammable
Fabrics Act, as amended by the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act (‘‘CPSIA’’). Persons and firms are
required 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 to transmit the information

relating to the proposed exportation to
the government of the country of
intended destination. In addition, for
any consumer product that is not in
conformity with an applicable consumer
product safety rule, exports from the
United States may be prohibited unless
the importing country has notified the
Commission that such country accepts
the importation of such consumer
product. 15 U.S.C. 2067.
We estimate the burden of this
collection of information as follows.
Based on a review of the number of
export requests received by the CPSC
during the last three years, the CPSC
staff estimates that approximately 44
notifications will be received from an
estimated 20 firms per year. The staff
further estimates that the average time
for each response is one hour, for a total
of 44 hours of annual burden. The
annualized cost to respondents would
be approximately $2,505. (44 hours at
$56.93/hour based on total
compensation of all management,
professional, and related occupations in
goods-producing industries in the
United States, September 2009, Bureau
of Labor Statistics.)
The estimated annual cost of the
information collection requirements to
the Federal government is
approximately $14,000. The staff
estimates that it takes about three hours
to process an export notification and
enter the information in the appropriate
database. The receipt and processing of
44 notifications would require
approximately 132 staff hours or
approximately 1 staff month per year.
