CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. CPSC 2009–0088]

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request—Third Party
Conformity Assessment Body
Registration Form
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

In the Federal Register of
April 19, 2013 (76 FR 23545), the
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC or Commission) published a
notice in accordance with provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), to announce the
CPSC’s intention to seek extension of an
approval of information collection
regarding a form used to evaluate
whether third party conformity
assessment bodies meet the
requirements to test for compliance to
specified children’s product safety
rules.
No comments were received in
response to that notice. Therefore, by
publication of this notice, the
Commission announces that it has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), a request for

SUMMARY:

extension of approval of those
collections of information, without
change.
DATES: Fax comments to OMB not later
than August 5, 2013.
ADDRESSES: OMB recommends that
written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB, Attn: CPSC Desk Officer, FAX:
202–395–6974, or emailed to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Renewal of Approval of
Collection of Information. The
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires third party
testing to be conducted by a third party
conformity assessment body for any
children’s product that is subject to a
children’s product safety rule before
importing for consumption or
warehousing or distributing in
commerce. To assess a third party
conformity assessment body’s

qualifications for acceptance by CPSC,
information related to location,
accreditation, and ownership must be
collected from the third party
conformity assessment body. The CPSC
uses an online collection form, CPSC
Form 223, to gather information from
third party conformity assessment
bodies seeking acceptance by CPSC. The
information collected relates to location,
accreditation, and ownership.
Commission staff uses this information
to assess:
• A third party conformity
assessment body’s status as either an
independent third party conformity
assessment body, a government-owned
or government-controlled conformity
assessment body, or a firewalled
conformity assessment body;
• Qualifications for acceptance by
CPSC to test for compliance to specified
children’s product safety rules; and
• Eligibility for acceptance on the
CPSC Web site.
On March 12, 2013, the Commission
published a final rule (16 CFR part
1112) in the Federal Register regarding
the requirements for third party
conformity assessment bodies. The final
rule became effective on June 10, 2013.
Now that 16 CFR part 1112 is in effect,
the rule will require the collection of
information in CPSC Form 223:
• Upon initial application by the
third party conformity assessment body
for acceptance by CPSC;
• At the time any of the information
on the CPSC Form 223 changes; and
• At least every two years, as part of
a regular audit process.
A. Estimated Burden
The CPSC estimates the burden of the
collection of information in CPSC Form
223 is as follows:

These estimates are based on the
following information:
• From March 19, 2012 to March 19,
2013, 56 new third party conformity
assessment bodies were accepted by the
CPSC. Since 2011, the number of new
third party conformity assessment
bodies (53) accepted by the CPSC has

remained stable. Based on these
historical levels of acceptance, the
estimated number of third party
conformity assessment bodies that
would be accepted by CPSC would be
55.
• Under the final rule, 16 CFR part
1112, third party conformity assessment

bodies are required to resubmit CPSC
Form 223 every two years. Because all
third party conformity assessment
bodies have not submitted their initial
CPSC Form 223s at the same time, only
some portion would be expected to
resubmit a CPSC Form 223 in any one
year. Based on the two year

E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM

05JYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 129 / Friday, July 5, 2013 / Notices
resubmission requirement, we estimate
that approximately half of the third
party conformity assessment bodies
would be required to resubmit in any
one year. As of March 2013, 409 third
party conformity assessment bodies
have been accepted by CPSC for testing.
Approximately half (204) of these firms
would be expected to resubmit with
CPSC in any given year.
• Under the final rule, 16 CFR part
1112, third party conformity assessment
bodies are required to keep the
information submitted on CPSC Form
223 up to date and submit a new CPSC
Form 223 whenever the information on
the CPSC Form 223 changes. Based on
current experience with third party
conformity assessment bodies, CPSC
staff estimates that third party
conformity assessment bodies will make
no more than three revisions per year to
update applicable Form 223
information. A ‘‘change in information’’
is a change that does not require review
of laboratory accreditation documents,
such as scope or test methods. Examples
of revised information include: changes
in the Web site URL; changes in the
name of the laboratory; and a change of
the point of contact.
The total burden is estimated at
259.75 hours, which is rounded up to
260 hours. CPSC staff estimates that
hourly compensation for the time
required for recordkeeping is $27.12 per
hour (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
‘‘Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation,’’ Table 9, total
compensation for sales, office, and
related workers in goods-producing
industries: http:www.bls.gov/ncs). The
total cost burden to the respondents is
approximately $7,052 ($27.12 × 260
hours = $7,051.20).
Dated: July 1, 2013.

(97 inspections × 3 hours per
inspection). We estimate that hourly
compensation for the time required for
testing is $61.06 (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for

2012, Table 9, total compensation for
management, professional, and related
