CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information
Collection Requirements; Notification Requirements Under Safety
Regulations for Coal and Woodburning Appliances
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the July 9, 2002 Federal Register (67 FR 45483), the
Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice in accordance
with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek an extension of
approval through October 31, 2005, of information collection
requirements in the safety regulations for coal and woodburning
appliances (16 CFR part 1406). No responses were received in response
to the notice. The Commission now announces that it has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of approval
of that collection of information.
These regulations require manufacturers and importers of certain
coal and woodburning appliances to provide safety information to
consumers on labels and instructions and an explanation of how certain
clearance distances in those labels and instructions were determined.
The requirements to provide copies of labels and instructions to the
Commission have been in effect since May 16, 1984. For this reason, the
information burden imposed by this rule is limited to manufacturers and
importers introducing new products or models, or making changes to
labels, instructions, or information previously provided to the
Commission. The purposes of the reporting requirements in part 1406 are
to reduce risks of injuries from fires associated with the
installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliances that are
subject to the rule, and to assist the Commission in determining the
extent to which manufacturers and importers comply with the
requirements in part 1406.
