Consumer Product Safety Commission July 29, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) announces that the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a request for extension of approval of a collection of information associated with the CPSC's Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets (OMB No. 3041-0127). In the Federal Register of May 8, 2014 (78 FR 26416), the CPSC published a notice to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of approval of the collection of information. The Commission received one comment. The commenter supported the record keeping requirements for ensuring the safety of bicycle helmets. The commenter also stated that two revisions to the test method (impact ceiling and positional stability) should be made to the standard. The request to revise the test method of the standard is outside the scope of the proposed renewal request. The renewal request sought comments on the burden hours associated with recordkeeping requirements in the safety standard. However, the comment has been forwarded to the CPSC's Office of Hazard Identification and Reduction. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of approval of that collection of information, without change.
