The CPSC
seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information.
CPSC previously published a notice
announcing the agency’s intent to seek
an extension of approval of this
collection of information (84 FR 26079),
and did not receive any comments.
Accordingly, the information collection
has been submitted to OMB without
change.
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
2018, 42 firms submitted information to
the CPSC on 231 lighter models. There
were four new lighter models and 227
lighters that were comparable to models
previously tested (comparison lighters).
Estimated Time per Response: The
burden associated with the standard
includes the time and cost spent testing
and maintaining the test records, either
by the firm or by outside contractors. If
tests are conducted in-house, staff
expects that testing new lighter models
would take about 90 hours per model.
The total testing time for the four
models would be 360 hours.
Recordkeeping consists of two separate
components: Recordkeeping for new
lighter models, and recordkeeping for
comparison lighters.
New Lighter Models—Staff estimates
the time burden for recordkeeping for
new lighter models to be 20 hours per
model. Staff expects the total time for
recordkeeping to be 80 hours (20 hours
× 4 models). If tests are conducted inhouse 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).

Sfmt 9990

Comparison Lighters—Firms may also
submit comparison lighters to
demonstrate compliance with the
standard. In 2018, 227 comparison
lighters were reported to the CPSC.
Although firms bear no testing costs for
comparison lighters, staff estimates the
burden hours for recordkeeping to be 3
hours per model. Thus, staff estimates
recordkeeping for comparison lighters
would take 681 hours (227 models × 3
hours).
Reporting Requirements—Firms will
require approximately 1 hour per model
to submit forms to CPSC, for a total
annual reporting burden of 231 hours
(231 models × 1 hour).
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The
annual total number of hours could be
as high as 1,352 hours (360 testing + 761
recordkeeping hours + 231 reporting
hours) per year. If some firms elect to
outsource testing of new models, the
burden could be less. The CPSC
estimates the total cost for firms to test,
and prepare, maintain, and submit
records to the CPSC in compliance with
the lighter regulation would be in the
range of $59,064 to $115,929, depending
upon the test method chosen.
General Description of Collection: In
1993, the CPSC issued the Safety
Standard for Cigarette Lighters (16 CFR
part 1210) under the Consumer Product
Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2051 et
seq.) to eliminate or reduce risks of
death and burn injury from fires
accidentally started by children playing
with cigarette lighters. The standard
requires certain test protocols, as well as
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements. 16 CFR part 1210, subpart
B. In addition, section 14(a) of the CPSA
(15 U.S.C. 2063(a)) requires
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of a consumer product subject
to a consumer product safety standard
to issue a certificate stating that the
product complies with all applicable
consumer product safety standards.
Section 14(a) of the CPSA also requires
that the certificate of compliance must
be based on a test of each product or
upon a reasonable testing program.
Alberta E. Mills,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
