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 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.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information
Collection Requirements--Testing and Recordkeeping Requirements Under
the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
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.
