4. A statement (a) disclaiming any
intention that the No-Action Letter
constitutes a determination by the
Bureau or its staff about, or is an
interpretation of, or grants any
exception, waiver, safe harbor, or
similar treatment respecting the statutes
and rules identified in the request, or
their application to the product’s
aspects in question, or otherwise
constitutes an official expression of the
Bureau’s views, and that any
explanatory discussion should not be
interpreted as such an interpretation,
waiver, safe harbor, or the like, that is
binding on the Bureau, and (b) that the
staff is not necessarily in agreement
with any legal or policy analysis, any
interpretation of data, or any other
matter, set forth in the request.
5. A description of any conditions or
limitation attending the No-Action
Letter, such as the requester’s
commitment to provide additional
safeguards to consumers, or to share
certain types of data with the Bureau, as
well as any limitations as to time period
or quantity of transactions.
6. A statement that the No-Action
Letter is subject to modification or
revocation at any time at the discretion
of the staff for any reason, including
that: the facts and representations in the
request appear to be materially
inaccurate or uncertain; the requester
fails to satisfy conditions or violates
limitations specified in the No-Action
Letter; the product or any of its material
features, terms, or conditions, is altered;
or the staff determines that such
modification or revocation is
appropriate to protect consumers or is
otherwise in the public interest. Unless
there is a reason not to do so in a
particular case, staff plans to
communicate with the requesting entity
(or entities) regarding the grounds for
potential revocation or modification in
advance of a revocation or modification,
and permit an opportunity to respond.
When staff revokes or modifies a NoAction Letter, staff intends to do so in
writing. Staff plans to make revocations
and modifications public.
7. A statement that the No-Action
Letter is not issued by or on behalf of
any other government agency or any
other person, and is not intended to be
honored or deferred to in any way by

undertakings made in the request or
stated as conditions of the issuance of
the letter. To the extent that the facts
and representations in the request are
materially inaccurate, or the requester
fails to satisfy conditions or violates
limitations specified in the No-Action
Letter, and in other similar
circumstances, the No-Action Letter is
by its own terms inapplicable (even
without modification or revocation) and
the staff may recommend initiating a
retrospective enforcement or
supervisory action if appropriate.
E. Bureau Disclosure of Entity Data
The Bureau’s disclosure of a version
or summary of the request and any data
received from the requester in
connection with a request for a NoAction Letter is governed by the
Bureau’s rules regarding Disclosure of
Records and Information.14 For
example, 12 CFR 1070.14 generally
requires the Bureau to make its records
available to any person pursuant to a
request that conforms to the rules and
procedures of that section, subject to the
application of the FOIA exemptions and
exclusions. To the extent the Bureau
affirmatively wishes to disclose such
data, the terms of such disclosure will
be consistent with applicable law and
the Bureau’s own rules and may be
specified in a separate agreement with
the requester. Consistent with
applicable law and its own rules, the
Bureau will seek to redact data to
protect consumers’ privacy interests.

information, approximately 50 large
domestic companies manufacture most
of the children’s sleepwear produced in
the United States. In addition, there may
be up to 1,000 small domestic producers
of children’s sleepwear. Accordingly,
there may be as many as 1,050 firms that
manufacture children’s sleepwear in the
United States. There are also
approximately 4,500 importers (which
may include some of the domestic
manufacturers) that supply children’s
sleepwear to the United States market.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 34 / Monday, February 22, 2016 / Notices

Estimated Time per Response: The 50
large domestic manufacturers and the
100 largest importers may each
introduce an average of 100 new
children’s sleepwear items annually.
Testing and recordkeeping of each item
is approximately 3 hours. The annual
burden for the 50 large domestic
manufacturers and the 100 largest
importers is estimated at 45,000 hours
for testing and recordkeeping (150 firms
× 100 items × 3 hours). The remaining
1,000 manufacturers and 4,400
importers have on the average 10 new
children’s sleepwear items annually, for
a testing and recordkeeping burden of
162,000 hours (5,400 firms × 10 items ×
3 hours.)
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The
total estimated potential annual burden
imposed by the flammability standards
on all manufacturers and importers of
children’s sleepwear is approximately
207,000 hours (45,000 hours + 162,000
hours).
Description of Collection: The
Standard for the Flammability of
Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0 through
6X (16 CFR part 1615) and the Standard
for the Flammability of Children’s
Sleepwear: Sizes 7 through 14 (16 CFR
part 1616) address the fire hazard
associated with small-flame ignition
sources for children’s sleepwear
manufactured for sale in or imported
into the United States. The standards
also require manufacturers and
importers of children’s sleepwear to
collect information resulting from
product testing, and maintenance of the
testing records. 16 CFR part 1615,
subpart B; 16 CFR part 1616; subpart B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC
seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for Cigarette
Lighters.
OMB Number: 3041–0116.
Type of Review: Renewal of
collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and
importers of cigarette lighters.
Estimated Number of Respondents: In
2015, 42 firms submitted information to
the CPSC on 307 lighter models. There
were 4 new models and 303 lighters that
were comparable to previously tested
models (‘‘comparison lighters’’).
Estimated Time per Response:
Recordkeeping is composed of two
separate components: recordkeeping for
new models and recordkeeping for
comparison lighters. The time burden
for recordkeeping for new models is
estimated at 20 hours per model. The
total time for recordkeeping of new
models is estimated to be 80 hours (20
hours × 4 models). For each new model,
product testing for each firm would take
approximately 90 hours per model, for
a total of 360 hours (90 hours × 4
models).
Firms may also submit comparison
lighters to demonstrate compliance with
the standard. In 2015, 303 comparison
lighters were reported to the CPSC.
While firms bear no testing costs for
comparison lighters, the burden hours
for recordkeeping has been estimated at
3 hours per model. Thus, an estimated
909 hours (303 models × 3 hours) is
estimated for recordkeeping for
comparison lighters.
Reporting requirements for submitting
forms to CPSC are estimated at one hour
per model, for a total annual reporting
burden on 307 hours (307 models × 1
hour).
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The
total number of responses is
approximately 307 per year (4 new
models + 303 comparison lighters). The
number of hours estimated for testing
and recordkeeping is 1,349 hours per
year, including new-product tests (360
hours if done in house), new product
recordkeeping (4 new models × 20 hours
= 80 hours), and recordkeeping for
comparison lighters (303 comparison
lighters × 3 hours = 909 hours). In
addition, the CPSC estimates that
approximately one hour per product
will be required for manufacturers to
submit forms to CPSC, or 307 total
hours for reporting. Accordingly the
total burden hours for recordkeeping
and reporting are approximately 1656
hours (1349 + 307).
