per firm totaling 390 hours per firm (3
hours × 130 days). In addition, to
produce labels and apply labels on the
newly manufactured lawn mowers, one
hour daily is estimated for each firm
during the production cycle for a total
of 130 hours per firm (1 hour × 130
days).
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
9,750 hours on testing and
recordkeeping (25 firms × 390 hours)
and 3,250 hours for labeling (25 firms ×
130 hours) for a total annual burden of
13,000 hours per year.
General Description of Collection: In
1979, the Commission issued the Safety
Standard for Walk-Behind Power Lawn
Mowers (16 CFR part 1205) to address
blade contact injuries. Subpart B of the
standard sets forth regulations
prescribing requirements for a
reasonable testing program to support
certificates of compliance with the
standard for walk-behind power lawn
mowers. 16 CFR part 1205, 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. The
information collection is necessary
because these regulations require
manufacturers and importers to
establish and maintain records to
demonstrate compliance with the
requirements for testing and labeling to
support the certification of compliance.
Dated: February 18, 2016.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
