CPSC
seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for the
Flammability of Carpets and Rugs and
Standard for the Flammability of Small
Carpets and Rugs.
OMB Number: 3041–0017.
Type of Review: Renewal of
collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and
importers of carpets and rugs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Out of 215 domestic manufacturers,
approximately half, or 108
manufacturers, elect to issue a guaranty
of compliance with the FFA.
Additionally, of the approximately
6,000 firms that import carpets and rugs,
approximately 1,500 elect to issue
guaranties of compliance. Staff
estimates that the average firm issuing a
continuing guarantee under the FFA is
required to conduct, at most, 200 tests
per year, although the actual number of
tests required by a given firm may vary
from one to 200, depending upon the
number of carpet styles and the annual
production volume. To estimate burden,
we selected the midpoint, 100 tests per
year.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.5
hours to conduct each test, and to
establish and maintain test records.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The
time required to conduct each test is
estimated to be 2.5 hours, including the
time required to establish and maintain
the test records. We estimate the total
annualized cost/burden to respondents
could be as many as 160,800 tests per
year (1,608 firms × 100 tests), at 2.5
hours per test, or 402,000 hours.
Total Estimated Annual Cost to
Respondents: The total annualized costs
to all respondents for the hour burden
for collection of information is
estimated to be as high as $27,830,460,
using a mean hourly employer cost-perhour-worked of $69.23 (Bureau of Labor
Statistics: Total compensation rates for
management, professional, and related
occupations in private goods-producing
industries, March 2018) (402,000 hours
× $69.23).
General Description of Collection: The
Standard for the Surface Flammability
of Carpets and Rugs (16 CFR part 1630)
and the Standard for the Surface
Flammability of Small Carpets and Rugs
(16 CFR part 1631) establish
requirements to reduce the flammability
of carpets and rugs. The standards’

testing and recordkeeping for
manufacturers and importers who
