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.
