The Consumer Product Safety Commission
needs the reports of qualification testing to assure that lighters
subject to the safety standard comply with the child resistance
levels established in the standard. The ongoing production and
quality control records required by the standard are used to ensure
that production lighters continue to be made to the same
manufacturing specifications as the lighters that passed the
child-panel qualifications test and are used by the manufacturer or
importer to issue its batch by batch certificate of compliance
pursuant to section 14(a) of the CPSA.
Staff were involved in
higher priority work involving development of congressionally
mandated regulations and unable to update this information and
publish FR notice in time to miss expiration date. A six month
extension is requested so staff will have adequate time to prepare
information for the request for extension of approval.

This estimate is lower than
cited in previous information collection requests because it is
based on actual submissions of new lighter models in fiscal year
2012, rather than on an assumption regarding new models submitted
per firm involved in the consumer lighter market or an annual
average of the number of new lighter models submitted by firms for
two years. The change due to agency discretion is due to splitting
the accounting for hours spent on recordkeeping vs reporting.
