CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Proposed Extension of Approval; Comment
Request--Procedures for Export of Noncomplying Products
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission requests comments
on a proposed three year extension of approval of information
collection requirements in regulations codified at 16 CFR part 1019,
which establish procedures for export of noncomplying products. These
regulations implement provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act,
the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, and the Flammable Fabrics Act
that require persons and firms to notify the Commission before
exporting any product that fails to comply with an applicable standard
or regulation enforced under provisions of those laws. The Commission
is required by law to transmit the information relating to the proposed
exportation to the government of the country of intended destination.
The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this
notice before requesting approval of this collection of information
from the Office of Management and Budget.
DATES: Written comments must be received by the Office of the Secretary
not later than April 13, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be captioned ``Collection of
Information--Procedures for Export of Noncomplying Products'' and e-
mailed to cpsc-os@cpsc.gov. Comments may also be sent by facsimile to
(301) 504-0127, or by mail to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer
Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland
20814.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the proposed
renewal of this collection of information, or to obtain a copy of the
pertinent regulations, call or write Linda L. Glatz, Division of Policy
and Planning, Office of Information Technology and Technology Services,
Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda,
Maryland 20814; (301) 504-7671, or by e-mail to lglatz@cpsc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Estimated Burden
Based on a review of the number of export requests received by the
CPSC during the last three years, the Commission staff estimates that
approximately 75 notifications will be received from an estimated 35
firms per year. The staff further estimates that the average time for
each response is one hour, for a total of 75 hours of annual burden.
The annualized cost to respondents would be approximately $3,400.00.
(75 hours at $44.82/hour based on total compensation for all civilian
workers in the U.S., July 2006, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
B. 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
