product suppliers for all required
testing, the finished product supplier
will still have some recordkeeping
burden to create and maintain a finished
product certificate. Therefore, although
the component part testing rule may
reduce the total cost of the testing
required by the testing and certification
rule, the rule increases the estimated
annual recordkeeping burden for those
who choose to use component part
testing.
Because we do not know how many
companies participate in component
part testing and supply test reports or
certifications to other certifiers in the
supply chain, we have no concrete data
to estimate the recordkeeping and third
party disclosure requirements in the
component part rule. Likewise, no clear
method exists for estimating the number
of finished product certifiers who
conduct their own component part
testing. In the component part
rulemaking, we suggested that the
recordkeeping burden for the
component part testing rule could
amount to 10 percent of the burden
estimated for the testing and labeling
rule. 76 FR 69546, 69579 (Nov. 8, 2011).
Currently, we have no basis to change
this estimate.
In addition to recordkeeping, the
component part rule requires third party
disclosure of test reports and
certificates, if any, to a certifier who
intends to rely on such documents to
issue its own certificate. Without data,
allocation of burden estimation between
the recordkeeping and third party
disclosure requirements is difficult.
However, based on our previous
analysis, we continue to estimate that
creating and maintaining records
accounts for approximately 90 percent
of the burden, while the third party
disclosure burden is much less, perhaps
approximately 10 percent. Therefore, if
we continue to use the estimate that
component part testing will amount to
about 10 percent of the burden
estimated for the testing rule, then the
hour burden of the component part rule
is estimated to be about 510,000 hours
total annually (10% of 5.1 million
hours), allocating 459,000 hours for
recordkeeping and 51,000 hours for
third party disclosure.
Section 104 Rules: The burden for
marking and labeling for each section
104 rule is provided in Table 1. The
estimated total number of respondent
hours is 13,790.
Electrically Operated Toys and Other
Articles Rule: Assuming each of the 40
firms produces 10 new models per year,
the estimated annual burden is 200
hours for recordkeeping (40 firms × .5
hour × 10 models) and 400 hours for

labeling changes (40 firms × 1 hour × 10
models), for a total estimated annual
burden of 600 hours.
Baby-Bouncer/Walker-Jumper Rule:
Firms are expected to test, on average,
four new models per year. Accordingly,
the estimated annual burden is 12 hours
on recordkeeping (6 firms × 1 hour × 2
models), and 12 hours on labeling (6
firms × 1 hour × 2 models), for a total
estimated annual burden of 24 hours per
year.

CPSC has
submitted the following currently
approved collection of information to
OMB for extension:
Title: Requirements Pertaining to
Third Party Conformity Assessment
Bodies.
OMB Number: 3041–0156.
Type of Review: Renewal of
collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Third party
conformity assessment bodies seeking
acceptance of accreditation or
continuing accreditation.
Estimated Burden:
• New Applications from Third Party
Conformity Assessment Bodies.
Æ We estimate approximately 40 new
applications from independent third
party conformity assessment bodies will
be submitted per year, taking an
estimated 75 minutes to complete the
initial application materials, with an
estimated burden of 50 hours per year.
Æ We estimate approximately 3
firewalled third party conformity
assessment bodies will apply per year,
taking an estimated 8.4 hours to
complete the initial application
materials, with an estimated burden of
25.2 hours per year.
Æ We estimate approximately 4
governmental third party conformity
assessment bodies will apply per year,
taking an estimated 3 hours to complete
the initial application materials, with an
estimated burden of 12 hours per year.
• Third party conformity assessment
bodies updating information.
Æ We estimate that approximately 5
third party conformity assessment
bodies will take 15 minutes to update
information for only those elements of
information that need updating, with an
estimated burden of 1.35 hours per year.
• Third party conformity assessment
bodies that subcontracts out tests.
Æ We estimate that approximately 27
third party conformity assessment
bodies will take 7 minutes to comply
with the subcontracting recordkeeping
requirement for an estimated 68,769
subcontract test, with an estimated of
approximately 8,023 hours per year.
• Third party conformity assessment

withdraw yearly, taking an estimated 30
minutes to create and submit the
required documentation, with an
estimated burden of 4 hours per year.
• Third party conformity assessment
bodies that are audited.
Æ We estimate that approximately 228
independent third party conformity
assessment bodies each year will be
audited, taking approximately 4 minutes
to resubmit their Form 223 and
accreditation certificate, with an
estimated burden of 15.2 hours per year.
Æ We estimate that approximately 18
firewalled third party conformity
assessment bodies will spend 226
minutes collecting and preparing the
documentation to submit for an audit,
with estimated burden of about 68 hours
per year.
Æ We estimate approximately 25
governmental third party conformity
assessment bodies will spend 1 hour
collecting and preparing the
documentation to submit for an audit,
with estimated burden of 25 hours per
year.
• Total Annual Burden.
Adding all of the annual estimated
burden hours results in a total of 8,224
hours for third party conformity
assessment bodies per year. At $38.78
per hour, the total cost of the
recordkeeping associated with the
Requirements Pertaining to Third Party
Conformity Assessment Bodies is
approximately $318,927 (8,224 hours ×
$38.78 = $318,927).
General Description of Collection: On
March 12, 2013, the Commission issued
a rule Pertaining to Third Party
Conformity Assessment Bodies (78 FR
15836). The rule established the general
requirements concerning third party
conformity assessment bodies, such as
the requirements and procedures for
CPSC acceptance of the accreditation of
a third party conformity assessment
body, and prescribed adverse actions
that may be imposed against CPSCaccepted third party conformity
assessment bodies. The rule also
amended the audit requirements for
third party conformity assessment
bodies and amends the Commission’s
regulation on inspections

Estimated Number of Respondents:
Approximately seven firms supply
omnidirectional citizen band base
station antennas.
Estimated Time per Response: Based
on the information compiled by
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of antennas to test and maintain
records for certificates of compliance,
we estimate an average of 220 hours per
firm for annual testing and
recordkeeping.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
1,540 hours (7 firms × 220 hours).
General Description of Collection: The
Safety Standard for Omnidirectional
Citizens Band Base Station Antennas
(16 CFR part 1204) establishes
performance requirements for
omnidirectional citizens band base
station antennas to reduce unreasonable
risks of death and injury that may result
if an antenna contacts overhead power
lines while being erected or removed
from its site. The regulations
implementing the standard (16 CFR part
1204, subpart B) require manufacturers,
importers, and private labelers of
antennas subject to the standard to test
the antennas for compliance with the
standard and to maintain records of that
testing.
