concurred with the MCP. On May 11,
2023, the Governor of the CNMI
submitted the MCP to NMFS for review
and approval. The MCP contains the
following seven conservation and
management objectives:
1. Improve fisheries data collection
and reporting;
2. Conduct resource assessment,
monitoring, and research to gain a better
understanding of marine resources and
fisheries;
3. Conduct enforcement training and
monitoring activities to promote
compliance with federal and local
mandates;
4. Promote responsible domestic
fisheries development to provide longterm economic growth, stability, and
local food production;
5. Conduct education and outreach,
enhance public participation, and build
local capacity;
6. Promote an ecosystem approach to
fisheries management, climate change
adaptation and mitigation, and regional
cooperation; and
7. Recognize the importance of island
cultures and traditional fishing practices
in managing fishery resources, and
foster opportunities for participation.
Please refer to the MCP for projects
and activities designed to meet each
objective, the evaluative criteria, and
priority rankings.
This notice announces that NMFS has
reviewed the MCP, and has determined
that it satisfies the requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. Accordingly,
NMFS has approved the MCP for the 3year period from August 4, 2023,
through August 3, 2026. This MCP
supersedes the one approved previously
for August 4, 2020, through August 3,
2023 (85 FR 29934, May 19, 2020).

Notice.

As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC or
Commission) requests comments on a
proposed extension of approval of a
collection of information from
manufacturers and importers of
mattresses and mattress pads. The
collection of information is set forth in
the Standard for the Flammability of
Mattresses and Mattress Pads and the
Standard for the Flammability (Open
Flame) of Mattress Sets. These
regulations establish testing and
recordkeeping requirements for
manufacturers and importers subject to
the standards. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
previously approved the collection of
information under control number
3041–0014. OMB’s most recent
extension of approval will expire on
August 31, 2023. CPSC will consider all
comments received in response to this
notice, before requesting an extension of
approval of this collection of
information from OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
CPSC promulgated the Standard for
the Flammability of Mattresses and
Mattress Pads, 16 CFR part 1632 (part
1632 standard) under section 4 of the
Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA), 15 U.S.C.
1193, to reduce unreasonable risks of
burn injuries and deaths from fires
associated with mattresses and mattress
pads. The part 1632 standard prescribes
requirements to test whether a mattress
or mattress pad will resist ignition from
a smoldering cigarette. The part 1632
standard also requires manufacturers to
perform prototype tests of each
combination of materials and
construction methods used to produce
mattresses or mattress pads and to
obtain acceptable results from such
testing. Manufacturers and importers
must maintain the records and test
results specified under the standard.
The Commission also promulgated
the Standard for the Flammability
(Open Flame) of Mattress Sets, 16 CFR
part 1633 (part 1633 standard), under
section 4 of the FFA to reduce deaths
and injuries related to mattress fires,
particularly those ignited by open-flame
sources, such as lighters, candles, and
matches. The part 1633 standard
requires manufacturers to maintain
certain records to document compliance
with the standard, including
maintaining records concerning
prototype testing, pooling, and
confirmation testing, and quality
assurance procedures and any
associated testing. The required records
must be maintained for as long as
mattress sets based on the prototype are
in production and must be retained for
3 years thereafter. OMB previously
approved the collection of information
for 16 CFR parts 1632 and 1633, under
control number 3041–0014, with an
expiration date of August 31, 2023. The
information collection requirements

under the part 1632 standard are
separate from the testing and
recordkeeping requirements under the
part 1633 standard.

B. Burden Hours
16 CFR 1632: Commission staff
estimates that there are 403 respondents
that produce mattresses. It is estimated
that each respondent will spend 26
hours for testing and record keeping
annually for a total of 10,478 hours (403
establishments × 26 hours = 10,478).
The hourly compensation for the time
required for record keeping is $72.91
(for management, professional, and
related occupations in goods-producing
industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
September 2022). The annualized cost
to respondents would be approximately
$763,950.98 (10,478 hours × $72.91 per
hour).
16 CFR 1633: The standard requires
detailed documentation of prototype
identification and testing records, model
and prototype specifications, inputs
used, name and location of suppliers,
and confirmation of test records, if
establishments choose to pool a
prototype. This documentation is in
addition to documentation already
conducted by mattress manufacturers to
meet 16 CFR part 1632. Staff again
estimates that there are 403
respondents. Based on staff estimates,
the recordkeeping requirements are
expected to require about 4 hours and
44 minutes per establishment, per
qualified prototype. Although some
larger manufacturers reportedly are
producing mattresses based on more
than 100 prototypes, most mattress
manufacturers probably base their
complying production on 15 to 20
prototypes, according to an industry
representative contacted by staff.
Assuming that establishments qualify
their production with an average of 20
different qualified prototypes,
recordkeeping time is about 94.6 hours
(4.73 hours × 20 prototypes) per
establishment, per year. (Note that
pooling among establishments or using
a prototype qualification for longer than
1 year will reduce the hours required).
This translates to an estimated annual
recordkeeping time cost to all mattress
producers of 38,124 hours (94.6 hours ×
403 establishments). The hourly
compensation for the time required for
record keeping is $72.91 (for
management, professional, and related
occupations in goods-producing
industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
September 2022). The annual total
estimated costs for recordkeeping are
approximately $2,779,606 (38,124 hours
× $72.91 per hour).

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001

The total estimated annual cost to the
403 establishments for the burden hours
associated with both 16 CFR part 1632
and 16 CFR part 1633 is approximately
$3.5 million (10,478 + 38,124 = 48,602
total hours; 48,602 × $72.91 =
$3,543,571,182).
C. Request for Comments
The Commission solicits written
comments from all interested persons
about the proposed collection of
information. The Commission
specifically solicits information relevant
to the following topics:
• Whether the collection of
information described above is
necessary for the proper performance of
the Commission’s functions, including
whether the information would have
practical utility;
• Whether the estimated burden of
the proposed collection of information
is accurate;
• Whether the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected
could be enhanced; and
• Whether the burden imposed by the
collection of information could be
minimized by use of automated,
electronic, or other technological
collection techniques, or other forms of
information technology.
