CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Residential Fire 
Survey

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In the April 16, 2003, Federal Register (68 FR 18599), the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) published a 
notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-21) to announce the agency's intention to seek 
approval of a collection of information to evaluate (1) the causes of 
residential fires and (2) the role of smoke alarms, sprinklers, and 
fire extinguishers in those fires. The Commission now announces that it 
is submitting to the Office of Management and Budget a request for 
approval of that collection of information.
    The collection of information consists of a random digit dialing 
telephone survey to identify households that had a fire within the 
previous three months. Data collection will take place over a 12-month 
period and will identify consumer products involved in fire causes. The 
information will help CPSC and its federal partners, the U.S. Fire 
Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to 
focus efforts to reduce residential fire losses.
