CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Flammability 
Standards for Children's Sleepwear


AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.


ACTION: Notice.


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


SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of October 29, 2002 (67 FR 65958), 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 extension of 
approval of collections of information in the flammability standards 
for children's sleepwear and implementing regulations. No comments were 
received in response to that notice. By publication of this notice, the 
Commission announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of those 
collections of information without change for three years from the date 
of approval.
    The standards and regulations are codified as the Flammability 
Standard for Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X, 16 CFR part 
1615; and the Flammability Standard for Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 7 
Through 14, 16 CFR part 1616. The flammability standards and 
implementing regulations prescribe requirements for testing and 
recordkeeping by manufacturers and importers of children's sleepwear 
subject to the standards. The information in the records required by 
the regulations allows the Commission to determine if items of 
children's sleepwear comply with the applicable standard. This 
information also enables the Commission to obtain corrective actions if 
items of children's sleepwear fail to comply with the applicable 
standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury.
