Express or first-class mail through the
United States Postal Service or hand
delivery to the TTAB is only available
under extraordinary circumstances. The
USPTO estimates that the average firstclass postage cost for a mailed
submission will be $7.65 (1-ounce flat
9″x12″ envelope) and that
approximately 32 submissions will be
mailed to the USPTO per year.
Therefore, the total (non-hour)
respondent cost burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
$6,611,590.70 which includes
$6,611,300 in filing fees and $290.70 in
postage.
IV. Request for Comments
The USPTO is soliciting public
comments to:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
All comments submitted in response

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The Commission has promulgated
several standards under section 4 of the

E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM

26MYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 101 / Tuesday, May 26, 2020 / Notices
Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA), 15 U.S.C.
1193, to prohibit the use of dangerously
flammable textiles and related materials
in wearing apparel. Clothing and fabrics
intended for use in clothing (except
children’s sleepwear in sizes 0 through
14) are subject to the Standard for the
Flammability of Clothing Textiles (16
CFR part 1610). Clothing made from
vinyl plastic film and vinyl plastic film
intended for use in clothing (except
children’s sleepwear in sizes 0 through
14) are subject to the Standard for the
Flammability of Vinyl Plastic Film (16
CFR part 1611). These standards
prescribe a test to ensure that articles of
wearing apparel, and fabrics and film
intended for use in wearing apparel, are
not dangerously flammable because of
rapid and intense burning. (Children’s
sleepwear and fabrics and related
materials intended for use in children’s
sleepwear in sizes 0 through 14 are
subject to other, more stringent
flammability standards codified at 16
CFR parts 1615 and 1616).
Section 8 of the FFA (15 U.S.C. 1197)
provides that a person who receives a
guaranty in good faith that a product
complies with an applicable
flammability standard is not subject to
criminal prosecution for a violation of
the FFA resulting from the sale of any
product covered by the guaranty. The
CPSC uses the information compiled
and maintained by firms that issue these
guaranties to help protect the public
from risks of injury or death associated
with flammable clothing and fabrics and
vinyl film intended for use in clothing.
In addition, the information helps the
CPSC arrange corrective actions if any
products covered by a guaranty fail to
comply with the applicable standard in
a manner that creates a substantial risk
of injury or death to the public. Section
8 of the FFA requires that a guaranty
must be based on ‘‘reasonable and
representative tests.’’ The testing and
recordkeeping requirements by firms
that issue guaranties are set forth under
16 CFR part 1610, subpart B, and 16
CFR part 1611, subpart B.
On March 13, 2020, the CPSC
published a notice in the Federal
Register (85 FR 14654), to announce the
agency’s intention to seek extension of
approval of the collection of
information. The Commission received
no comments. Therefore, by publication
of this notice, the Commission
announces that CPSC has submitted to
the OMB a request for extension of
approval of that collection of
information, without change.
B. Burden
The CPSC estimates that
approximately 1,000 firms issue

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:08 May 22, 2020

Jkt 250001

guaranties. Although the CPSC’s past
records indicate that approximately 675
firms have filed continuing guaranties at
the CPSC, staff believes additional
guarantees may be issued that are not
filed with the Commission.
Accordingly, staff has estimated the
number of firms upwards to account for
those guaranties to 1,000 firms. Staff
estimated the burden hours based on an
estimate of the time for each firm to
conduct testing, issue guaranties, and to
establish and maintain associated
records.
• Burden Hours per Firm—An
estimated 5 hours for testing per firm,
using either the test and conditioning
procedures in the regulations or
alternate methods. Although many firms
are exempt from testing to support
guaranties under 16 CFR 1610.1(d),
CPSC staff does not know the
proportion of those firms that are testing
vs. those that are exempt. Thus, staff has
included testing for all firms in the
burden estimates.
• Guaranties Issued per Firm—On
average, 20 new guaranties are issued
per firm per year for new fabrics or
garments.
• Estimated Annual Testing Time per
Firm—100 hours per firm (5 hours for
testing × 20 guaranties issued = 100
hours per firm).
• Estimated Annual Recordkeeping
per Firm—1 hour to create, record, and
enter test data into a computerized
dataset; 20 minutes (= 0.3 hours) for
annual review/removal of records; 20
minutes (= 0.3 hours) to respond to one
CPSC records request per year; for a
total of 1.6 recordkeeping hours per firm
(1 hour + .3 hours + .3 hours = 1.6 hours
per firm).
• Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours per Firm—100 hours estimated
annual testing time per firm + 1.6
estimated annual recordkeeping hours
per firm = 101.6 hours per firm.
• Total Estimated Annual Industry
Burden Hours—101.6 hours per firm ×
1,000 firms issuing guaranties = 101,600
industry burden hours. The total annual
industry burden imposed by the
flammability standards for clothing
textiles and vinyl plastic film and
enforcement regulations on
manufacturers and importers of
garments, fabrics, and related materials
is estimated to be about 101,600 hours
(101.6 hours per firm × 1,000 firms).
• Total Annual Industry Cost—The
hourly wage for the testing and
recordkeeping required by the standards
is approximately $70.17 (for
management, professional, and related
occupations in goods-producing
industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
September, 2019), for an estimated

PO 00000

annual cost to the industry of
approximately $7.1 million (101,600 ×
$70.17 = $7,129,272).
