ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In the Federal Register of
June 10, 2022, the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission
(Commission or CPSC), together with
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), published a notice announcing a
joint intent to conduct a second test (a
Beta Pilot) to assess the electronic filing
of data from a certificate of compliance
(certificate) for regulated consumer
products under CPSC’s jurisdiction
(June 10 Notice). The June 10 Notice
requested volunteers for the Beta Pilot
Test, and also stated the intent to seek
approval of a collection of information
for the Beta Pilot Test, requesting
comment on the proposed collection.
The Commission did not receive any
comments on the burden estimate for

the proposed collection of information.
In accordance with the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, CPSC submitted information
collection requirements for the Beta
Pilot Test to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for approval of the
new collection of information, without
change.

D notice that comments may be

Title: Beta Pilot Test for eFiling
Certificates of Compliance.
Description: During the Beta Pilot test
of CBP’s Partner Government Agency
(PGA) Message Set abilities through the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE), up to 50 participating importers
of regulated consumer products will
electronically file the requested
certificate data, comprised of seven data
elements, at the time of entry filing, or
entry summary filing, if both entry and
entry summary are filed together.
Participants will have two ways to file
certificate data during the Beta Pilot
test: (1) filing certificate data in a CPSCmaintained Product Registry, and filing
a reference number in ACE to this data
set, through the Automated Broker
Interface (ABI), each time the product is
imported thereafter (Reference PGA
Message Set), or (2) filing all certificate
data elements directly through ABI each
time the product is imported (Full PGA
Message Set). CPSC will receive the
information from CBP through a realtime transfer of import data, and risk
score the information in CPSC’s Risk
Assessment Methodology (RAM)
system, to assist in the interdiction of
noncompliant consumer products.
As set forth in section VI.B of the June
10 Notice, the requirement to create and
maintain certificates, including the data
elements, is set forth in section 14 of the
Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA).
Section 14(a) of the CPSA requires
manufacturers (including importers)
and private labelers of certain regulated
consumer products manufactured
outside the United States to test and
issue a certificate certifying such
products as compliant with applicable
laws and regulations before importation.
15 U.S.C. 2063(a). Section 14(g)(1) of the
CPSA describes the data required on a
certificate. Section 14(g)(3) requires a
certificate to accompany the applicable
product or shipment of products
covered by the certificate, and that
certifiers furnish the certificate to each
distributor or retailer of the product.
Upon request, certificates must also be
furnished to CPSC and CBP. Section
14(g)(4) provides that ‘‘[i]n consultation
with the Commissioner of Customs, the
Commission may, by rule, provide for
the electronic filing of certificates under
this section up to 24 hours before arrival
of an imported product.’’ The Beta Pilot
test described in this collection of
PO 00000

information is in preparation for a
rulemaking to implement section
14(g)(4) of the CPSA. 15 U.S.C.
2063(g)(4).
Because certificates are required by
statute, this analysis focuses on the
burden for CPSC to accept, and
importers to provide, certificate data
elements electronically at the time of
entry filing, and not to collect and
maintain certificate data more generally.
Importer requirements in the Beta Pilot
test for providing certificate data
electronically at the time of entry filing
fall within the definition of ‘‘collection
of information,’’ as defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3).
Description of Respondents: Up to 50
importer participants who import
regulated consumer products within
CPSC’s jurisdiction under the
approximately 300 HTS codes included
in the Beta Pilot test.
Estimated Burden: We estimate the
burden of this collection of information
as follows:
CPSC used information provided by
the previous Alpha Pilot test
participants to inform the estimated
burden for the Beta Pilot test. The
burden from participating in the eFiling
Beta Pilot test can be broken down into
the burden of preparing for participation
in the Pilot, the burden of maintaining
the data elements separately, and, as
compared to the Alpha Pilot test, the
additional burden of including the dates
of manufacturing and lab testing. Based
on feedback from the Alpha Pilot test
participants, we also assume that if we
have 50 Beta Pilot test participants,
approximately 90 percent of them, or 45
respondents, will opt to use the Product
Registry and Reference PGA Message
Set exclusively, while 5 participants
will opt to use the Full PGA Message
Set exclusively.
For the 45 participants opting to use
the Product Registry and Reference PGA
Message Set, we estimate that there will
be approximately 8,764 burden hours to
complete the information collection
burden associated with Beta Pilot test
participation, and maintain the data
elements, including the dates of
manufacturing and lab testing. Based on
feedback from Alpha Pilot test
participants, participant staff costs for
this burden will be about $383,000 or
approximately $44 per hour ($382,990/
8,764).

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
[Docket No. CPSC-2022-0020]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Beta Pilot Test for eFiling Certificates of Compliance
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of June 10, 2022, the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC), together with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), published a notice announcing a
joint intent to conduct a second test (a Beta Pilot) to assess the
electronic filing of data from a certificate of compliance
(certificate) for regulated consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction
(June 10 Notice). The June 10 Notice requested volunteers for the Beta
Pilot Test, and also stated the intent to seek approval of a collection
of information for the Beta Pilot Test, requesting comment on the
proposed collection. The Commission did not receive any comments on the
burden estimate for
[[Page 56408]]
the proposed collection of information. In accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, CPSC
submitted information collection requirements for the Beta Pilot Test
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of the new
collection of information, without change.
DATES: Submit comments on the proposed collection of information by
October 14, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments about this request by email:
OIRA[email protected] or fax: 202-395-6881. Comments by mail
should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the CPSC, Office of Management and Budget,
Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. In addition,
written comments that are sent to OMB, also should be submitted
electronically at: https://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-
2022-0020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bretford Griffin, Consumer Product
Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301)
504-7037, or by email to: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The June 10 Notice sought comment on CPSC's
burden estimate for the Beta Pilot Test. 87 FR 35513, 35518-20. CPSC
received no comment on the burden estimates provided. CPSC now seeks
approval of a new collection of information for the Beta Pilot test,
which contains information collection requirements that are subject to
public comment and review by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521).\1\ In this document, pursuant to 44 U.S.C.
3507(a)(1)(D), we set forth:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission voted 5-0 to issue this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ssquf] a title for the collection of information;
[ssquf] a summary of the collection of information;
[ssquf] a brief description of the need for the information and the
proposed use of the information;
[ssquf] a description of the likely respondents and proposed
frequency of response to the collection of information;
[ssquf] an estimate of the burden that shall result from the
collection of information; and
[ssquf] notice that comments may be submitted to the OMB.
Title: Beta Pilot Test for eFiling Certificates of Compliance.
Description: During the Beta Pilot test of CBP's Partner Government
Agency (PGA) Message Set abilities through the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE), up to 50 participating importers of regulated
consumer products will electronically file the requested certificate
data, comprised of seven data elements, at the time of entry filing, or
entry summary filing, if both entry and entry summary are filed
together. Participants will have two ways to file certificate data
during the Beta Pilot test: (1) filing certificate data in a CPSC-
maintained Product Registry, and filing a reference number in ACE to
this data set, through the Automated Broker Interface (ABI), each time
the product is imported thereafter (Reference PGA Message Set), or (2)
filing all certificate data elements directly through ABI each time the
product is imported (Full PGA Message Set). CPSC will receive the
information from CBP through a real-time transfer of import data, and
risk score the information in CPSC's Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM)
system, to assist in the interdiction of noncompliant consumer
products.
As set forth in section VI.B of the June 10 Notice, the requirement
to create and maintain certificates, including the data elements, is
set forth in section 14 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA).
Section 14(a) of the CPSA requires manufacturers (including importers)
and private labelers of certain regulated consumer products
manufactured outside the United States to test and issue a certificate
certifying such products as compliant with applicable laws and
regulations before importation. 15 U.S.C. 2063(a). Section 14(g)(1) of
the CPSA describes the data required on a certificate. Section 14(g)(3)
requires a certificate to accompany the applicable product or shipment
of products covered by the certificate, and that certifiers furnish the
certificate to each distributor or retailer of the product. Upon
request, certificates must also be furnished to CPSC and CBP. Section
14(g)(4) provides that ``[i]n consultation with the Commissioner of
Customs, the Commission may, by rule, provide for the electronic filing
of certificates under this section up to 24 hours before arrival of an
imported product.'' The Beta Pilot test described in this collection of
information is in preparation for a rulemaking to implement section
14(g)(4) of the CPSA. 15 U.S.C. 2063(g)(4).
Because certificates are required by statute, this analysis focuses
on the burden for CPSC to accept, and importers to provide, certificate
data elements electronically at the time of entry filing, and not to
collect and maintain certificate data more generally. Importer
requirements in the Beta Pilot test for providing certificate data
electronically at the time of entry filing fall within the definition
of ``collection of information,'' as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3).
Description of Respondents: Up to 50 importer participants who
import regulated consumer products within CPSC's jurisdiction under the
approximately 300 HTS codes included in the Beta Pilot test.
Estimated Burden: We estimate the burden of this collection of
information as follows:
CPSC used information provided by the previous Alpha Pilot test
participants to inform the estimated burden for the Beta Pilot test.
The burden from participating in the eFiling Beta Pilot test can be
broken down into the burden of preparing for participation in the
Pilot, the burden of maintaining the data elements separately, and, as
compared to the Alpha Pilot test, the additional burden of including
the dates of manufacturing and lab testing. Based on feedback from the
Alpha Pilot test participants, we also assume that if we have 50 Beta
Pilot test participants, approximately 90 percent of them, or 45
respondents, will opt to use the Product Registry and Reference PGA
Message Set exclusively, while 5 participants will opt to use the Full
PGA Message Set exclusively.
For the 45 participants opting to use the Product Registry and
Reference PGA Message Set, we estimate that there will be approximately
8,764 burden hours to complete the information collection burden
associated with Beta Pilot test participation, and maintain the data
elements, including the dates of manufacturing and lab testing. Based
on feedback from Alpha Pilot test participants, participant staff costs
for this burden will be about $383,000 or approximately $44 per hour
($382,990/8,764).
