SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 29, 2009
(74 FR 55819), 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 the collection of information required in the
Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles (16 CFR Part 1610)
and the Standard for the Flammability of Vinyl Plastic Film (16 CFR
Part 1611). These regulations establish requirements for testing and
recordkeeping for manufacturers and importers who furnish guaranties
for products subject to the flammability standards for clothing
textiles and vinyl plastic film. See 16 CFR Part 1610, Subpart B, and
16 CFR Part 1611, Subpart B.
The Commission uses the information compiled and maintained by
firms that issue these guaranties to help protect the public from risks
of injury or death associated with clothing and fabrics and vinyl film
intended for use in clothing. More specifically, the information helps
the Commission arrange corrective actions if any products covered by a
guaranty fail to comply with the applicable standard in a manner that
creates a substantial risk of injury or death to the public. The
Commission also uses this information to determine whether the
requisite testing was performed to support the guaranties.
OMB approved the collection of information in the regulations
implementing the standards for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic film
under control number 3041-0024. The Commission proposes to request an
extension of approval for the collection of information in those
regulations.
