CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information
Collection Requirements--Recordkeeping Requirements Under the Safety
Regulations for Full-Size Cribs
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the February 12, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 6533), 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
an extension of approval of information collection requirements in the
safety regulations for full-size cribs. 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and part
1508. Joint comments in support of the information collection were
submitted by the Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, Kids
in Danger and Keeping Babies Safe, Inc. Commentors state that the
ability of the Commission to better communicate news of recalls to
retailers and individuals is critical to removing potentially dangerous
cribs and the continued collection of information may assist in that
effort. The Commission now announces that it is submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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. 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. OMB
previously approved the collection of information under control number
3041-0013. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on
September 30, 2007.
