Lynn Fischer Fox, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Policy and Negotiations,
dated December 28, 2012, which is
hereby adopted by this notice. The
issues discussed in the Decision

raised in this review and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum, which is on file

Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘IA

and electronic versions of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.

This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)

return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective orders

Final Results of Review

[Docket No. CPSC–2009–0015]

Pursuant to sections 752(b)(1) and (3)
of the Act, we determine that revocation
of the countervailing duty order on
certain pasta from Italy would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies at the
following net countervailable subsidy
rates:

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION

Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC or
Commission) requests comments on a
proposed 3-year extension of approval
of information collection requirements
in the Standard for the Flammability—
Open Flame—of Mattresses Sets (OpenFlame standard), 16 CFR part 1633. The
Commission has a separate flammability
standard that addresses cigarette
ignition of mattresses, 16 CFR part 1632.
The Open-Flame standard is intended to
reduce unreasonable risks of burn
injuries and deaths from fires associated
with mattresses, particularly those
initially ignited by open-flame sources,
such as lighters, candles, and matches.
The Open-Flame standard prescribes a
test to minimize or delay flashover
when a mattress is ignited. The standard
requires manufacturers to test
specimens of each of their mattress
prototypes before mattresses based on
that prototype may be introduced into
commerce. The Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) previously approved
the collection of information under
control number 3041–0133. OMB’s most
recent extension of approval will expire
on March 31, 2013. The Commission
will consider all comments received in
response to this notice before requesting
an extension of approval of this
collection of information from OMB.
DATES: The Office of the Secretary must
receive comments not later than March
5, 2013.

0015, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Estimated Burden
The standard requires detailed
documentation of prototype
identification and testing records, model
and prototype specifications, inputs

used, name and location of suppliers,
and confirmation test records, if
establishments choose to pool a
prototype. This documentation is in
addition to documentation already
conducted by mattress manufacturers in
their efforts to meet the cigarette
standard under 16 CFR part 1632. CPSC
staff estimates that there are 571
establishments producing conventional
mattresses and 100 establishments
producing nonconventional mattresses
in the United States, for a total of 671
firms affected by this standard. CPSC
staff estimates the recordkeeping
requirements to take about 4 hours and
44 minutes per establishment, per
qualified prototype. Although some
larger manufacturers reportedly are
producing mattresses based on more
than 100 prototypes, most mattress
manufacturers base their complying
production on 15 to 20 prototypes.
Assuming that establishments qualify
their production with an average of 20
different qualified prototypes,
recordkeeping time is estimated to be
94.7 hours (4.73 hours × 20 prototypes)
per establishment, per year. (However,
pooling among establishments or using
a prototype qualification for longer than
1 year will reduce this estimate).
Accordingly, the annual recordkeeping
time cost to all mattress producers is
estimated at 63,521 hours (94.7 hours ×
671 establishments). The hourly
compensation for the time required for
recordkeeping is $27.64 (U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation,’’ June 2012,
Table 9, total compensation for all sales
and office workers in goods-producing,
private industries: http://www.bls.gov/
ncs). Total estimated costs for

recordkeeping are approximately $1.7
million (63,521 hours × $27.64).
The estimated annual cost of
information collection requirements to
the federal government is approximately
$717,954. This represents 50 full-time
employee staff hours. Record review
will be performed during compliance
inspections conducted to follow up on
consumer complaints and reports of
injury that indicate possible violations
of the regulations. This estimate uses an
annual wage of $119,238 (the equivalent
of a GS–14 Step 5 employee), with an
additional 30.8 percent added for
benefits (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
‘‘Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation,’’ September 2012, Table
1, percentage of wages and salaries for
all civilian management, professional,
and related employees) for total annual
compensation of $172,309 per full-time
employee.
B. 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
