SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Clothing and fabrics intended for use
in clothing (except children’s sleepwear
in sizes 0 through 14) are subject to the
Standard for the Flammability of
Clothing Textiles (16 CFR part 1610).
Clothing made from vinyl plastic film
and vinyl plastic film intended for use
in clothing (except children’s sleepwear
in sizes 0 through 14) are subject to the
Standard for the Flammability of Vinyl
Plastic Film (16 CFR part 1611). These
standards prescribe a test to assure that
articles of wearing apparel, and fabrics
and film intended for use in wearing
apparel, are not dangerously flammable
because of rapid and intense burning.
(Children’s sleepwear and fabrics and
related materials intended for use in
children’s sleepwear in sizes 0 through
14 are subject to other, more stringent
flammability standards codified at 16
CFR parts 1615 and 1616.) The
flammability standards for clothing
textiles and vinyl plastic film were
made mandatory by the Flammable
Fabrics Act of 1953 (FFA) (Pub. L. 83–
88, 67 Stat. 111; June 30, 1953).
Section 8 of the FFA (15 U.S.C. 1197)
provides that a person who receives a
guaranty in good faith that a product
complies with an applicable
flammability standard is not subject to
criminal prosecution for a violation of
the FFA resulting from the sale of any
product covered by the guaranty. The
Commission uses the information
compiled and maintained by firms that
issue these guaranties to help protect
the public from risks of injury or death
associated with clothing and fabrics and
vinyl film intended for use in clothing.
In addition, the information helps the
Commission arrange corrective actions
if any products covered by a guaranty
fail to comply with the applicable
standard in a manner that creates a
substantial risk of injury or death to the
public. Section 8 of the FFA requires
that a guaranty must be based on
‘‘reasonable and representative tests.’’
The testing and recordkeeping
requirements by firms that issue

Jkt 229001

guaranties are set forth under 16 CFR
part 1610, subpart B, and 16 CFR part
1611, subpart B.
B. Burden Hours
The Commission estimates that
approximately 1,000 manufacturers and
importers of garments, textiles, and
related materials issue guaranties. The
Commission estimates that the
flammability standards for clothing
textiles and vinyl plastic film and
enforcement regulations impose an
average annual burden of about 101.6
hours on each of those firms. That
burden will result from conducting the
testing required by the regulations and
maintaining records of the results of that
testing. The total annual burden
imposed by the flammability standards
for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic
film and enforcement regulations on
manufacturers and importers of
garments, fabrics, and related materials
is about 101,600 hours.
The hourly wage for the testing and
recordkeeping required by the standards
is about $61.06 (for management,
professional, and related occupations in
goods-producing industries, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, December 2012), for an
estimated annual cost to the industry of
approximately $6.2 million (101,600 ×
$61.06).
The estimated annual cost of the
information collection requirements to
the federal government is approximately
$3,264, which includes 80 staff hours to
examine and evaluate the information as
needed for Compliance activities. This
is based on a GS–12 level salaried
employee. The average hourly wage rate
for a mid-level salaried GS–12 employee
in the Washington, DC metropolitan
area (effective as of January 2011) is
$40.80 (GS–12, step 5). This represents
69.5 percent of total compensation (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation,’’
December 2012, Table 1, percentage of
wages and salaries for all civilian
management, professional, and related
employees: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/).
Adding an additional 30.5 percent for
benefits brings average hourly
compensation for a mid-level salaried
GS–12 employee to $58.70.
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

PO 00000

Frm 00029

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.
