SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CPSC
is an independent federal regulatory
agency with a public health and safety
mission to protect the public from the
unreasonable risks of injury and death
from consumer products. The CPSC is
providing notice that the agency is
seeking public comments on its Draft
Strategic Plan for 2023–2026 (draft
plan).1 Under the draft plan, CPSC’s
mission is ‘‘Protecting the public from
unsafe consumer products.’’ The
agency’s overarching vision is: ‘‘A
nation free from unreasonable risks of
injury and death from consumer
products.’’ The CPSC will work to
achieve four strategic goals that will
contribute to realizing the vision and
achieving the mission.
The strategic goals are:
• Prevent hazardous products from
reaching consumers.
• Address hazardous consumer
products in the marketplace and with
consumers in a fast and effective
manner.
• Communicate actionable
information about consumer product
safety quickly and effectively.
• Efficiently and effectively support
the CPSC’s mission.
The CPSC’s programs will align with
the strategic goals, and the agency will
implement strategies through initiatives
and priority activities to achieve the
strategic goals. The draft plan sets out
how the CPSC will pursue the four
strategic goals. The draft plan is
available on the Commission’s website
at: https://cpsc-d8-mediaprod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/
CPSCDraftStrategicPlan2023-2026. The
draft plan is also available for viewing
at https://www.regulations.gov under
docket number, CPSC–2022–0031,
‘‘Supporting and Related Material.’’
The draft plan serves as a draft of the
Commission’s intended Strategic Plan
for 2023–2026. The CPSC accordingly
seeks comments on all aspects of the
draft plan. CPSC has a wide range of
external stakeholders from industry,
trade associations, consumers and
consumer groups, nonprofits, and
standards development organizations, as
well as from the international,

Standard for Walk-Behind Power Lawn
Mowers
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC or
Commission), announces that the
Commission has submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for extension of approval for
information collection related to testing
and recordkeeping requirements in the
Safety Standard for Walk-Behind Power
Lawn Mowers, previously approved
under OMB Control No. 3041–0091. On
June 8, 2022, CPSC published a notice
in the Federal Register announcing the
agency’s intent to seek this extension.
CPSC received one comment in
response to that notice, which we
address below.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by September 26, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to: www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular

On June 8,
2022, CPSC published a notice in the
Federal Register announcing the
agency’s intent to seek an extension for
this information collection. 87 FR
34862. CPSC received one comment in
response to that notice from the Outdoor
Power Equipment Institute (OPEI). OPEI
is a trade association with more than
100 manufacturers and their suppliers
of gas and electric-powered outdoor
power equipment, including lawn
mowers. OPEI requested a meeting with
CPSC to discuss two requirements in the
standard: walk-behind, rotary power
mower protective shields, and warning
label for reel type and rotary power
mowers. Accordingly, OPEI’s letter has
been referred to CPSC’s Office of Hazard
Identification and Reduction for review.
Although the commenter did not
provide any specific comments on the
burden hour estimates made by CPSC,
OPEI asserts that there are almost 6
million mowers tested and labelled to
meet the CPSC standard each year. In
addition, OPEI claims that member
manufacturers employ multiple
personnel test to the standard, label and
apply warnings, and maintain records.
All of these requirements, according to
OPEI, ‘‘requires the use of dedicated
technicians, which requires
considerable employee time per day per
establishment.’’ Based on OPEI’s
assertions, CPSC has updated the
burden estimates for the collection of
information, as follows:
CPSC has increased the estimated
time burden for conducting a reasonable
testing program from 3 hours daily, to
8 and increased the estimate of the total
hour burden for testing by industry from
11,310 hours to 30,160 hours.
Accordingly, the estimated annual cost
burden for testing by industry is
increased from $796,224 to
$2,308,936.50. The CPSC hourly wage
estimate matches the description of the
technical expertise needed, as described
by OPEI. With these changes, CPSC
seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for WalkBehind Power Lawn Mowers.
OMB Number: 3041–0091.
Type of Review: Renewal of
collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and
importers of walk-behind power lawn
mowers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Approximately 29 manufacturers and
importers of walk-behind power lawn
mowers.

Estimated Time per Response: Walkbehind power lawn mowers are
manufactured seasonally to meet
demand. They are manufactured during
an estimated 130 days out of the year.
When they are manufactured, firms are
required to test and maintain records of
those tests. Staff estimates 8 hours daily
for testing and recordkeeping per firm,
totaling 1040 hours per firm (8 hours ×
130 days). In addition, to produce labels
and apply labels on the newly
manufactured lawn mowers, staff
estimates 1 hour daily for each firm
during the production cycle for a total
of 130 hours per firm (1 hour × 130
days).
Total Estimated Annual Burden: Staff
estimates 30,160 hours on testing and
recordkeeping (29 firms × 1,040 hours)
and 3,770 hours for labeling (29 firms ×
130 hours). Aggregate annual burden
hours related to testing, recordkeeping,
and labeling are estimated to be 1,170
hours (1040 + 130) per firm and 33,930
hours (30,160 + 3,770) for the industry.
The annual testing, reporting and
recordkeeping costs burden is estimated
to be $2,176,044, based on 30,160 hours
× $72.15 (total compensation for
management, professional, and related
workers in goods-producing industries);
and the annual cost burden related to
labeling is estimated to be $132,892.50,
based on 3,770 hours × $35.25 (total
compensation for all sales and office
workers in goods-producing
industries).1 Aggregate annual burden
costs related to testing, recordkeeping,
and labeling are estimated to be
$2,308,936.50 ($2,176,044 +
$132,892.50) for the industry.
General Description of Collection: In
1979, the Commission issued the Safety
Standard for Walk-Behind Power Lawn
Mowers (16 CFR part 1205) to address
blade contact injuries. Subpart B of the
standard sets forth regulations
prescribing requirements for a
reasonable testing program to support
certificates of compliance with the
standard for walk-behind power lawn
mowers. 16 CFR part 1205, 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. The
