SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for Multi-Purpose Lighters.
OMB Number: 3041-0130.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of multi-purpose
lighters.
Estimated Number of Respondents: Based on five years of data, there
are an estimated 47 firms that import, distribute, or sell multi-
purpose lighters in the United States. Based on past experience, CPSC
expects that firms will conduct recordkeeping and reporting activities
for an average of two multi-purpose lighter models each year.
Estimated Time per Response: The costs associated with the rule
include reporting, recordkeeping, and other certification-related
activities. CPSC estimates that the burden per model is 10 hours to
generate test data, record it, and enter the data into a computerized
dataset; five hours for annual review and removal of records; and five
hours for responding to CPSC records requests--for a total of 20 hours
per model.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: Based on CPSC's estimates that 47
firms will each conduct recordkeeping and reporting activities for an
average of two models per year, and that a total of 20 hours will be
required per model, CPSC estimates that the total annual burden of this
collection is 1,880 hours. The annualized cost to respondents for the
information collection is $63,318 (1,880 hours x $33.68/hr), as
estimated from total compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics.\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Description of Collection: The Commission issued a safety
standard for multi-purpose lighters in 1999 (16 CFR part 1212). The
standard and section 14(a)(1) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA)
require that manufacturers, including importers, of multi-purpose
lighters issue certificates of compliance based on a reasonable testing
program. The standard also requires manufacturers and importers to
establish and maintain records to demonstrate successful completion of
all required tests to support the certificates of compliance that they
issue. Respondents must comply with these testing, certification, and
recordkeeping requirements for multi-purpose lighters.
Request for Comments:
The Commission solicits written comments from all interested
persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission
specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:
<bullet> whether the collection of information described above is
necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions,
including whether the information would have practical utility;
<bullet> whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of
information is accurate;
<bullet> whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected could be enhanced; and
<bullet> whether the burden imposed by the collection of
information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other
technological collection techniques, or other forms of information
technology.
