SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the CPSC
has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB
for review and clearance.
Procedures for Export on Noncomplying Goods--(OMB Control Number
3041-0003-Extention). The
[[Page 53279]]
Commission requested comments on a proposed three year extension of
approval of information collection requirements in regulations codified
at 16 CFR part 1019, which establish procedures for export of
noncomplying, misbranded, or banned products. These regulations
implement provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act, and the Flammable Fabrics Act, as amended by
the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. Persons and firms
are required 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 to transmit
the information relating to the proposed exportation to the government
of the country of intended destination. In addition, for any consumer
product that is not in conformity with an applicable consumer product
safety rule, exports from the United States may be prohibited unless
the importing country has notified the Commission that such country
accepts the importation of such consumer product. 15 U.S.C. 2067.
In the Federal Register of May 18, 2010 (75 FR 27732), the CPSC
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows. Based on a review of the number of export requests received by
the CPSC during the last three years, the CPSC staff estimates that
approximately 44 notifications will be received from an estimated 20
firms per year. The staff further estimates that the average time for
each response is one hour, for a total of 44 hours of annual burden.
The annualized cost to respondents would be approximately $2,505. (44
hours at $56.93 per hour based on total compensation of all management,
professional, and related occupations in goods-producing industries in
the United States, September 2009, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
The estimated annual cost of the information collection
requirements to the Federal government is approximately $14,000. The
staff estimates that it takes about three hours to process an export
notification and enter the information in the appropriate database. The
receipt and processing of 44 notifications would require approximately
132 staff hours or approximately 1 staff month per year.
Dated: August 25, 2010.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
