CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information 
Collection Requirements--Notification Requirements Under Safety 
Regulations for Coal and Woodburning Appliances

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In the March 26, 1999 Federal Register (64 FR 14708), 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 June 30, 2002, of information collection requirements 
in the safety regulations for coal and woodburning appliances (16 CFR 
Part 1406). 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 require manufacturers and importers of certain 
coal and woodburning appliances to provide safety information to 
consumers on labels and instructions and an explanation of how certain 
clearance distances in those labels and instructions were determined. 
The requirements to provide copies of labels and instructions to the 
Commission have been in effect since May 16, 1984. For this reason, the 
information burden imposed by this rule is limited to manufacturers and 
importers introducing new products or models, or making changes to 
labels, instructions, or information previously provided to the 
Commission. The purposes of the reporting requirements in part 1406 are 
to reduce risks of injuries from fires associated with the 
installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliances that are 
subject to the rule, and to assist the Commission in determining the 
extent to which manufacturers and importers comply with the 
requirements in part 1406.
