ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In the April 7, 1998 Federal Register (63 FR 16988), 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 September 30, 2001, of information collection requirements in the safety regulations for full-size cribs (16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and Part 1508). 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 were issued to reduce hazards of strangulation, suffocation, pinching, bruising, laceration, and other injuries associated with full-size cribs. (A full-size crib is a crib having an interior length ranging from 49\3/4\ inches to 55 inches and an interior width ranging from 25\3/8\ to 30\5/8\ inches.) The regulations prescribe performance, design, and labeling requirements for full-size cribs. They also require manufacturers and importers of those products to maintain sales records for a period of three years after the manufacture or importation of full-size cribs. If any full-size cribs subject to provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and Part 1508 fail to comply in a manner severe enough to warrant a recall, the required records can be used by the manufacturer or importer and by the Commission to identify those persons and firms who should be notified of the recall.

ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In the April 7, 1998 Federal Register (63 FR 16989), 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 September 30, 2001, of information collection requirements in the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (16 CFR Part 1632). In response to the Federal Register notice, one comment was received, from the American Textile Manufacturers Institute (ATMI). In its comment, ATMI supported the extension of approval of the collection of information, adding that ``the costs incurred with this data collection are minimal and are now part of business practices for these two industry sectors.'' 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. The standard is intended to reduce unreasonable risks of burn injuries and deaths from fires associated with mattresses and mattress pads. The standard prescribes a test to assure that a mattress or mattress pad will resist ignition from a smoldering cigarette. The standard 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. Sale or distribution of mattresses without successful completion of the testing required by the standard violates section 3 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (15 USC 1192). An enforcement rule implementing the standard requires manufacturers to maintain records of testing performed in accordance with the standard and other information about the mattress or mattress pads which they produce.
