In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, this collection of
information is approved to begin on July 1, 1990. The survey should
be completed by September, 1990. We request that CPSC submit to OMB
by December 28, 1990, a report evaluating the results of the survey
and how they will be used to support the rule making process under
consideration. Specifically, this report should contain an analysis
of the practical utility of the resulting exposure data and how
such data will be used in conjunction with previously collected
incidence information. In addition the report should contai an
evaluation of how a relative risk measure of cigarette lighters and
matches is derived and how it will be used.

NEEDED TO GAUGE THE IMPACT OF ANY CPSC ACTION.
