SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base

OMB Number: 3041-0006.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of
[[Page 28817]]
omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas.
Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 10 firms supply
omnidirectional citizen band base station antennas.
Estimated Time per Response: Based on the information compiled by
manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of antennas to test and
maintain records for certificates of compliance, we estimate an average
of 220 hours per firm for annual testing and recordkeeping.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 2,200 hours (10 firms x 220 hours).
General Description of Collection: The Safety Standard for
Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base Station Antennas (16 CFR part 1204)
establishes performance requirements for omnidirectional citizens band
base station antennas to reduce unreasonable risks of death and injury
that may result if an antenna contacts overhead power lines while being
erected or removed from its site. The regulations implementing the
standard (16 CFR part 1204, subpart B) require manufacturers,
importers, and private labelers of antennas subject to the standard to
test the antennas for compliance with the standard and to maintain
records of that testing. Based on an average hourly wage of $71.82,\1\
the total annual cost to the industry to perform the required testing
and maintain the records is approximately $158,000 ($71.82 times 2,200
hours).
