SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register of January 4, 2013 (78
FR 694), the Consumer Product Safety
Commission published a notice in
accordance with provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the
agency’s intention to seek extension of
approval of the collection of information
required in the Standard for the
Flammability (Open Flame) of
Mattresses Sets, 16 CFR part 1633. No
comments were received in response to
that notice. Therefore, by publication of
this notice, the Commission announces
that it has submitted to the OMB a
request for extension of approval of that
collection of information without
change.
The Mattress 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 Mattress 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 Mattress Open-Flame 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 mattress
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.
Dated: March 14, 2013.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
