SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently approved collection of information: Title: Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters. OMB Number: 3041–0116. Type of Review: Renewal of collection. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of cigarette lighters. Estimated Number of Respondents: In 2015, 42 firms submitted information to the CPSC on 307 lighter models. There were 4 new models and 303 lighters that were comparable to previously tested models (‘‘comparison lighters’’). Estimated Time per Response: Recordkeeping is composed of two separate components: recordkeeping for new models and recordkeeping for comparison lighters. The time burden for recordkeeping for new models is estimated at 20 hours per model. The total time for recordkeeping of new models is estimated to be 80 hours (20 hours × 4 models). For each new model, product testing for each firm would take approximately 90 hours per model, for a total of 360 hours (90 hours × 4 models). Firms may also submit comparison lighters to demonstrate compliance with the standard. In 2015, 303 comparison lighters were reported to the CPSC. While firms bear no testing costs for comparison lighters, the burden hours for recordkeeping has been estimated at 3 hours per model. Thus, an estimated 909 hours (303 models × 3 hours) is estimated for recordkeeping for comparison lighters. Reporting requirements for submitting forms to CPSC are estimated at one hour per model, for a total annual reporting burden on 307 hours (307 models × 1 hour). Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total number of responses is approximately 307 per year (4 new models + 303 comparison lighters). The number of hours estimated for testing and recordkeeping is 1,349 hours per year, including new-product tests (360 hours if done in house), new product recordkeeping (4 new models × 20 hours = 80 hours), and recordkeeping for comparison lighters (303 comparison lighters × 3 hours = 909 hours). In addition, the CPSC estimates that approximately one hour per product will be required for manufacturers to submit forms to CPSC, or 307 total hours for reporting. Accordingly the total burden hours for recordkeeping and reporting are approximately 1656 hours (1349 + 307).

Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301) 504-7815, or by email to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently 
approved collection of information:
    Title: Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters.
    OMB Number: 3041-0116.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of cigarette lighters.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: In 2015, 42 firms submitted 
information to the CPSC on 307 lighter models. There were 4 new models 
and 303 lighters that were comparable to previously tested models 
(``comparison lighters'').
    Estimated Time per Response: Recordkeeping is composed of two 
separate components: recordkeeping for new models and recordkeeping for 
comparison lighters. The time burden for recordkeeping for new models 
is estimated at 20 hours per model. The total time for recordkeeping of 
new models is estimated to be 80 hours (20 hours x 4 models). For each 
new model, product testing for each firm would take approximately 90 
hours per model, for a total of 360 hours (90 hours x 4 models).
    Firms may also submit comparison lighters to demonstrate compliance 
with the standard. In 2015, 303 comparison lighters were reported to 
the CPSC. While firms bear no testing costs for comparison lighters, 
the burden hours for recordkeeping has been estimated at 3 hours per 
model. Thus, an estimated 909 hours (303 models x 3 hours) is estimated 
for recordkeeping for comparison lighters.
    Reporting requirements for submitting forms to CPSC are estimated 
at one hour per model, for a total annual reporting burden on 307 hours 
(307 models x 1 hour).
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total number of responses is 
approximately 307 per year (4 new models + 303 comparison lighters). 
The number of hours estimated for testing and recordkeeping is 1,349 
hours per year, including new-product tests (360 hours if done in 
house), new product recordkeeping (4 new models x 20 hours = 80 hours), 
and recordkeeping for comparison lighters (303 comparison lighters x 3 
hours = 909 hours). In addition, the CPSC estimates that approximately 
one hour per product will be required for manufacturers to submit forms 
to CPSC, or 307 total hours for reporting. Accordingly the total burden 
hours for recordkeeping and reporting are approximately 1656 hours 
(1349 + 307).

[[Page 8697]]

    General Description of Collection: In 1993, the Commission issued 
the Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters (16 CFR part 1210) under the 
Consumer Product Safety Act (``CPSA'') (15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.) to 
eliminate or reduce risks of death and burn injury from fires 
accidentally started by children playing with cigarette lighters. The 
standard requires certain test protocols, as well as recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements. 16 CFR part 1210, subpart B. In addition, 
section 14(a) 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 to issue a certificate stating that 
the product complies with all applicable consumer product safety 
standards. Section 14(a) of the CPSA also requires that the certificate 
of compliance must be based on a test of each product or upon a 
reasonable testing program.
