CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Flammability
Standards for Children's Sleepwear
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of January 25, 2006, 71 FR 4118, the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or 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
extension of approval of collections of information in the flammability
standards for children's sleepwear and implementing regulations. Two
comments were received in response to that notice. One comment
supported the proposed extension of information collection for
children's sleepwear. One comment stated that over-the-counter samples
should be tested and that the collection of information should be
computerized and violations reported. Currently, the standard is
enforced through the inspection of establishments manufacturing
sleepwear, through retail surveillance and by follow-up to consumer and
trade complaints. During these inspections, randomly selected samples
are tested and samples required to be maintained by the standard, as
well as record keeping that is required by the standard, are examined.
Information regarding violations of the standard are available on the
recall section of the CPSC Web site at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.cpsc.gov.
Accordingly, by publication of this notice, the Commission
announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for extension of approval of the collections of
information for three years from the date of approval.
The standards and regulations are codified as the Flammability
Standard for Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X, 16 CFR Part
1615; and the Flammability Standard for Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 7
Through 14, 16 CFR part 1616. The flammability standards and
implementing regulations prescribe requirements for testing and
recordkeeping by manufacturers and importers of children's sleepwear
subject to the standards. The information in the records required by
the regulations allows the Commission to determine if items of
children's sleepwear comply with the applicable standard. This
information also enables the Commission to obtain corrective actions if
items of children's sleepwear fail to comply with the applicable
standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury.
