SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter
19 of the North American Free Trade
Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) established a
mechanism to replace domestic judicial
review of final determinations in
antidumping and countervailing duty
cases involving imports from a NAFTA
country with review by independent
binational panels. When a Request for
Panel Review is filed, a panel is
established to act in place of national
courts to review expeditiously the final
determination to determine whether it
conforms with the antidumping or
countervailing duty law of the country
that made the determination.
Under Article 1904 of the Agreement,
which came into force on January 1,
1994, the Government of the United
States, the Government of Canada, and
the Government of Mexico established
Rules of Procedure for Article 1904
Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’).
These Rules were published in the
Federal Register on February 23, 1994
(59 FR 8686).
A first Request for Panel Review was
filed with the United States Section of
the NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to
Article 1904 of the Agreement, on April
24, 2012, requesting a panel review of
the determination and order described
above.
The Rules provide that:
(a) a Party or interested person may
challenge the final determination in
whole or in part by filing a Complaint
in accordance with Rule 39 within 30
days after the filing of the first Request
for Panel Review (the deadline for filing
a Complaint is May 24, 2012);
(b) a Party, investigating authority or
interested person that does not file a
Complaint but that intends to appear in
support of any reviewable portion of the
final determination may participate in
the panel review by filing a Notice of
Appearance in accordance with Rule 40
within 45 days after the filing of the first
Request for Panel Review (the deadline
for filing a Notice of Appearance is June
8, 2012); and
(c) the panel review shall be limited
to the allegations of error of fact or law,

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY

[Docket No. CPSC–2012–0024]
Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Notification
Requirements for Coal and
Woodburning Appliances
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The information collection
requirements in a Consumer Product
Safety Commission (‘‘CPSC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) coal and woodburning
appliance rule have been approved by
the Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) under OMB control number
3041–0040. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Commission
now requests comments on a proposed
extension of approval of those
information collection requirements for
a period of three years from the date of
approval by the OMB.
The rule, codified at 16 CFR part
1406, requires manufacturers and
importers of certain coal and
woodburning appliances to provide
safety information to consumers on
labels and instructions and an
explanation of how certain clearance
distances in those labels and
instructions were determined. The
requirements to provide copies of labels
and instructions to the Commission
have been in effect for stoves
manufactured or imported since October
17, 1983, or May 16, 1984, for stoves
introduced into United States commerce
after May 16, 1984, regardless of the
date of manufacture. For this reason, the
information burden imposed by this
rule is limited to manufacturers and
importers introducing new products or
models, or making changes to labels,
instructions, or information previously
provided to the Commission. The
purposes of the reporting requirements
in part 1406 are to reduce the risk of
injuries from fires associated with the
installation, operation, and maintenance

of the appliances that are subject to the
rule, and to assist the Commission in
determining the extent to which
manufacturers and importers comply
with the requirements in part 1406. The
Commission will consider all comments
received in response to this notice
before requesting approval of this
collection of information from the OMB.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by the Office of the Secretary
not later than July 2, 2012.

0024, by any of the following methods:
Submit electronic comments in the
following way:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
To ensure timely processing of
comments, the Commission is no longer
accepting comments submitted by

20814; telephone: (301) 504–7213 or by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Estimated Burden
CPSC staff estimates that existing
manufacturers who are subject to the
information collection requirements
may introduce up to 15 new models in
a 3-year period, or approximately five
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
26253
new models per year. No new
manufacturers are expected to begin
marketing in the United States. CPSC
staff estimates that the average number
of hours per respondent is three hours
per year, for a total of about 15 hours of
annual burden for all respondents (5
models x 3 hours). No specific label
design is required, but examples of
acceptable label formats are provided in
the rule. It is assumed that each
manufacturer will use the same general
label format for all stove models it
produces. Therefore, when a
manufacturer introduces a new stove
model, the only changes that will be
required are to insert the specific
information that pertains to the new
model. Additionally, manufacturers are
to provide the Commission with copies
of the information required to be
disclosed on the label. Because this
information should be readily available,
it should take a manufacturer 30
minutes or less per model to collect the
information and mail it to the
Commission. Therefore, an additional
2.5 hours have been added to the total
burden (30 minutes × 5 models per year)
for a total annual burden of 17.5 hours.
The total estimated annualized
respondent cost is approximately
$1,044, based on an average total hourly
employee compensation rate of $59.63
for management, professional, and
related occupations (17.5 hours ×
$59.63) (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
September 2011).
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,
electronic, or other technological
collection techniques, or other forms
of information technology.
