OMB Number: 3041–0027. Type of Review: Renewal of collection. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of children’s sleepwear. Estimated Number of Respondents: Based on a review of past firm inspections, and published industry information, approximately 50 large domestic companies manufacture most of the children’s sleepwear produced in the United States. In addition, there may be up to 1,000 small domestic producers of children’s sleepwear. Accordingly, there may be as many as 1,050 firms that manufacture children’s sleepwear in the United States. There are also approximately 4,500 importers (which may include some of the domestic manufacturers) that supply children’s sleepwear to the United States market. Estimated Time per Response: The 50 large domestic manufacturers and the 100 largest importers may each introduce an average of 100 new children’s sleepwear items annually. Testing and recordkeeping of each item is approximately 3 hours. The annual burden for the 50 large domestic manufacturers and the 100 largest importers is estimated at 45,000 hours for testing and recordkeeping (150 firms × 100 items × 3 hours). The remaining 1,000 manufacturers and 4,400 importers have on the average 10 new children’s sleepwear items annually, for a testing and recordkeeping burden of 162,000 hours (5,400 firms × 10 items × 3 hours.) Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total estimated potential annual burden imposed by the flammability standards on all manufacturers and importers of children’s sleepwear is approximately 207,000 hours (45,000 hours + 162,000 hours). Description of Collection: The Standard for the Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0 through 6X (16 CFR part 1615) and the Standard for the Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 through 14 (16 CFR part 1616) address the fire hazard associated with small-flame ignition sources for children’s sleepwear manufactured for sale in or imported into the United States.

Type of Review: Renewal of collection. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of electrically operated toys and other electrically operated articles. Estimated Number of Respondents: 40 firms that manufacture or import electrically operated toys and other DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 electrically operated articles have been identified; based on manufacturer and importer records for sales and distribution of inventory, there are approximately 10 models each year per firm for which testing and recordkeeping is required resulting in 400 records (40 firms x 10 models) per year. Estimated Time per Response: Based on discussion with a trade association for the toy industry, we estimate that the tests required by the regulations can be performed on one model in 16 hours and that four hours of recordkeeping is required per model. In addition, each firm may spend 30 minutes or less per model on labeling requirements. Total Estimated Annual Burden: 6400 hours for testing burden (16 hours x 400 records); 1600 hours for recordkeeping (4 hours x 400 records); 200 hours for labeling (40 firms x 1⁄2 hour x 10 models) for a total annual burden of 8200 hours per year. General Description of Collection: The regulations in 16 CFR part 1505 establish performance and labeling requirements for electrically operated toys and children’s articles to reduce unreasonable risks of injury to children from electric shock, electrical burns, and thermal burns associated with those products. Manufacturers and importers of electrically operated toys and children’s articles are required to maintain records for three years on: (1) Material and production specifications; (2) the quality assurance program used; (3) results of all tests and inspections conducted; and (4) sales and distribution of electrically operated toys and children’s articles.
