Consumers may submit reports of harm
involving the use of consumer products or other products or
substances regulated by the CPSC and also allow manufacturers of
such to comment on the reports of harm. The reports and comments
would be part of a public database operated and maintained by the
CPSC.
This information collection
renewal request based on an estimated 19,845 burden hours per year
for the Database is a decrease of 17,284 hours since this
collection of information was last approved by OMB in 2011. The
decrease in burden is due primarily to the fact that the number of
responses estimated in our original request overstated the number
of actual responses submitted; we thus lowered the estimated number
of responses based on actual experience since the original request.
Note that the 19,845 burden hours for this collection of
information includes two new categories of information, Voluntary
Brand Identification and Small Batch Manufacturer Identification.
The burden hours for these new categories are 205 and 96 hours,
respectively.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
