volt circuit. Video games and articles
designed primarily for use by adults that
may be used incidentally by children
are not subject to these regulations.
The regulations prescribe design,
construction, performance, and labeling
requirements for electrically operated
toys and children’s articles. The
regulations also require manufacturers
and importers of those products to
develop and maintain a quality
assurance program. 16 CFR 1505.4(a)(2).
Additionally, section 1505.4(a)(3) of the
regulations require those firms to
maintain records for 3 years, containing
information about: (1) The material and
production specifications and the
description of the quality assurance
program required by 16 CFR
1505.4(a)(2); (2) the results of all
inspections and tests conducted; and (3)
records of sales and distribution.
OMB approved the collection of
information requirements in the
regulations under control number 3041–
0035. OMB’s most recent extension of
approval expires on December 31, 2012.
The Commission now proposes to
request an extension of approval for the
information collection requirements in
the regulations.
The safety need for this collection of
information remains. Specifically, if a
manufacturer or importer distributes
products that violate the requirements
of the regulations, the records required
by section 1505.4(a)(3) can be used by
the firm and the Commission to: (i)
identify specific lots or production lines
of products that fail to comply with
applicable requirements; and (ii) notify
distributors and retailers in the event
the products are subject to recall.
B. Estimated Burden
The Commission staff estimates that
about 40 firms are subject to the testing
and recordkeeping requirements of the
regulations. Each one may have an
average of 10 products each year, for
which testing and recordkeeping would
be required, resulting in approximately
400 records. Commission staff estimates
that the tests required by the regulations
can be performed on one product in 16
hours and that recordkeeping can be
performed for one product in 4 hours.
Thus, the estimated testing burden
hours are 6,400 (16 hours × 400), and
the estimated recordkeeping burden
hours are 1,600 hours (400 records × 4
hours).
Commission staff estimates that each
firm may spend 30 minutes or less per
model on the labeling requirements.
Assuming each firm produces 10 new
models each year, the estimated labeling
burden hours are 200 hours (40 firms ×
10 models per firm × 0.5 hours per

model = 200 hours) per year. The
estimated total burden hours for
recordkeeping and labeling are 1,800
hours for all firms (1,600 hours for
recordkeeping + 200 hours for labeling).
CPSC staff estimates that the hourly
wage for the time required to perform
the required testing and recordkeeping
is approximately $61.75 (Bureau of
Labor Statistics: total compensation for
management, professional, and related
workers in goods-producing private
industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs, and
the hourly wage for the time required to
maintain the labeling requirements is
approximately $27.64 (Bureau of Labor
Statistics, total compensation for all
sales and office workers in goodsproducing, private industries: http://
www.bls.gov/ncs). The annualized total
cost to the industry is estimated to be
$444,952 (6,400 × $61.75 + 1,800 ×
$27.64).
Commission staff will expend less
than one staff month reviewing records
required to be maintained for
electrically operated toys and children’s
articles. The annual cost to the federal
government of the collection of
information in these regulations is
estimated to be less than $14,338. This
estimate uses an annual total
compensation of $ 119,238 (the
equivalent of a GS–14 step 5 employee,
with an additional 30.7 percent added
for benefits.)
C. Request for Comments
The Commission solicits written
comments from all interested persons
about the proposed collection of
information. The Commission
specifically solicits information relevant
to the following topics:
—Whether the collection of information
described above is necessary for the
proper performance of the
Commission’s functions, including
whether the information would have
practical utility;
—Whether the estimated burden of the
proposed collection of information is
accurate;
—Whether the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected could be enhanced; and
—Whether the burden imposed by the
collection of information could be
minimized by use of automated,
electronic, or other technological
collection techniques, or other forms
of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990,
Congress enacted legislation, under
provisions of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2051 et
seq.), requiring that residential garage
door operators comply with the
provisions of a standard published by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to
protect against entrapment. The
entrapment protection requirements of
UL Standard 325 are codified into the
Safety Standard for Automatic
Residential Garage Door Operators, 16
CFR Part 1211. Automatic residential
garage door operators must comply with
the latest edition of the Commission’s
regulations at 16 CFR part 1211.
OMB approved the collection of
information concerning the Safety
Standard for Automatic Residential
Garage Door Operators under control
number 3041–0125. OMB’s most recent
approval will expire on December 31,
2012. The Commission now proposes to
request an extension of approval of this
collection of information.
A. Certification Requirements
Section 203 of Public Law 101–608
requires that UL Standard 325 shall be
considered to be a consumer product
safety standard under section 9 of the
CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2058. The
Commission’s regulations provide that
manufacturers and importers of
automatic residential garage door
operators subject to the safety standard
shall issue certificates of compliance. 16
CFR 1112.20. Section 14(b) of the CPSA
(15 U.S.C. 2063(b)) authorizes the
Commission to issue regulations to
prescribe a reasonable testing program
to support certificates of compliance
with a consumer product safety
standard under the CPSA or similar
rule, ban, standard, or regulation under
any other act enforced by the
Commission. Section 16(b) of the CPSA
(15 U.S.C 2065(b)) authorizes the

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001

Commission to issue rules to require
that firms ‘‘establish and maintain’’
records to permit the Commission to
determine compliance with rules issued
under the authority of the CPSA.
On December 22, 1992, the
Commission issued rules prescribing
requirements for a reasonable testing
program to support certificates of
compliance with the Safety Standard for
Automatic Residential Garage Door
Operators (57 FR 60449). These
regulations also require manufacturers,
importers, and private labelers of
residential garage door operators to
establish and maintain records to
demonstrate compliance with the
requirements for testing to support
certification of compliance. 16 CFR Part
1211, Subparts B and C. The
Commission uses the information
compiled and maintained by
manufacturers and importers of
residential garage door operators to
protect consumers from risks of death
and injury resulting from entrapment
accidents associated with garage door
operators. More specifically, the
Commission uses this information to
determine whether the products
produced and imported by those firms
comply with the standard. The
Commission also uses this information
to facilitate corrective action if any
residential garage door operators fail to
comply with the standard in a manner
that creates a substantial risk of injury
to the public.
B. Estimated Burden
Commission staff estimates that about
23 firms are subject to the testing and
recordkeeping requirements of the
certification regulations. Staff estimates
that each respondent will spend 40
hours annually on the collection of
information, for a total of about 920
hours. The estimated total annual cost
to industry is approximately $25,429,
based on 920 hours × $27.64 (Bureau of
Labor Statistics, total compensation for
all sales and office workers in goodsproducing private industries: http://
www.bls.gov/ncs).
Commission staff will expend
approximately 6 staff months reviewing
records required to be maintained for
automatic residential garage door
operators. The annual cost to the federal
government of the collection of
information in these regulations is
estimated to be $86,031. This estimate
uses an annual total compensation of
$119,238 (the equivalent of a GS–14
step 5 employee, with an additional
30.7 percent added for benefits.)

to the following topics:
