Noncomplying Products
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission requests comments
on a proposed extension of approval through September 30, 2001, of
information collection requirements in regulations codified at 16 CFR
Part 1019, which establish procedures for export of noncomplying
products. These regulations implement provisions of the Consumer
Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, and the
Flammable Fabrics Act that require persons and firms to notify the
Commission before exporting any product that fails to comply with an
applicable standard or regulation enforced under provisions of those
laws. The Commission is required by law to transmit the information
relating to the proposed exportation to the government of the country
of intended destination. The Commission will consider all comments
received in response to this notice before requesting approval of this
collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget.
DATES: Written comments must be received by the Office of the Secretary
not later than June 8, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be captioned ``Collection of
Information--Procedures for Export of Noncomplying Products'' and
mailed to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission, Washington, D.C. 20207, or delivered to that office, room
502, 4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Written comments
may also be sent to the Office of the Secretary by facsimile at (301)
504-0127 or by e-mail at cpsc-os@cpsc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the proposed
collection of information call or write Robert E. Frye, Director,
Office of Planning and Evaluation, Consumer Product Safety Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20207; (301) 504-0962, Ext. 2264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Estimated Burden
Based on information available at the time the Commission sought
Office of Management and Budget approval of the collection of
information in the Procedures for Export of Noncomplying Products in
1995, the Commission staff estimates that there are 160 firms required
to annually submit information to the Commission on proposed exports of
noncomplying products. The staff further estimates that the average
number of responses per respondent is 1.125 with one hour for each
response needed, for a total of 180 hours of annual burden (160 x
1.125 x 1 = 180).
B. Request for Comments
The Commission solicits written comments from all interested
persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission
specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:
--Whether the collection of information described above is necessary
for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including
whether the information would have practical utility;
--Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of
information is accurate;
--Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected could be enhanced; and
--Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be
minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological
collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
Dated: April 2, 1998.
