Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 18, 2010 / Notices
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: Safety Standard for Bicycle
Helmets—16 CFR part 1203 (OMB
Control Number 3041–0127—
Extension).
Description: In 1994, Congress passed
the ‘‘Child Safety Protection Act,’’
which, among other 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. On
September 2, 2009, the Commission
issued a notice of requirements that
provides the criteria and process for
Commission acceptance of accreditation
of third party conformity assessment
bodies for testing bicycle helmets that
are considered children’s products
under the Consumer Product Safety Act
(74 FR 45428).
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.
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.
We estimate the burden of this
collection of information as follows.
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 United States.
The Commission staff estimates that the
time 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 for testing, including
third-party testing for children’s bicycle
helmets, certification, and
recordkeeping will be 20,000 to 30,000
hours per year (200 models × 100 to 150
hours/model = 20,000 to 30,000 hours).
The annualized cost to respondents for
the hour burden for collection of
information is $1,138,600 to $1,707,000
based on 20,000 to 30,000 hours times
$56.93/hour (based on total
compensation of all civilian workers in
managerial and professional positions in
the United States, September 2009,
Bureau of Labor Statistics).
The estimated expenditure to the
Federal government is approximately
$83,000 which includes 10 staff months
and travel costs expended for
