CPSC agrees to
drop questions 7, 19 and 27 and to do everything possible to
improve the response rate. This clearance package is approved
through May 1988 because only a 90 day approval is allowed on
expedited clearances. This package will have to be submitted for
normal review if CPSC wishes to continue the survey after May.
