CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Safety Standard for
Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of February 12, 1996 (61 FR 5537), 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 approval of the
collection of information in the Safety Standard for Automatic
Residential Garage Door Operators (16 CFR Part 1211). The Commission
now announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget a request for approval of that collection of information without
change through December 31, 1999.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
608, 104 Stat. 3110) requires all automatic residential garage door
openers manufactured after January 1, 1993, to comply with the
entrapment protection requirements of UL Standard 325 that were in
effect on January 1, 1992. In 1992, the Commission codified the
entrapment protection provisions of UL Standard 325 in effect on
January 1, 1992, as the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential
Garage Door Operators, 16 CFR Part 1211, Subpart A. Certification
regulations implementing the standard require manufacturers, importers
and private labelers of garage door operators subject to the standard
to test their products for compliance with the standard, and to
maintain records of that testing. Those regulations are codified at 16
CFR Part 1211, Subparts B and C.
The Commission uses the records of testing and other information
required by the certification regulations to determine that automatic
residential garage door operators subject to the standard comply with
its requirements. The Commission also uses this information to obtain
corrective actions if garage door operators fail to comply with the
standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury to the
public.
