SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to extend the following
collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets.
OMB Number: 3041-0127.
Type of Review: Extension of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of bicycle helmets.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The Commission estimates that 38
manufacturers and importers will issue certificates on an estimated
total of 200 models annually, including both older models and new
models.
Estimated Time per Response: The Commission estimates that
manufacturers and importers will require 4 hours per model for
recordkeeping and certification activities each year.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: Based on CPSC's estimates that
manufacturers and importers will conduct recordkeeping and reporting
activities for a total of 200 models, and that a total of 4 hours will
be required per model, CPSC estimates that the total annual burden of
this collection is 800 hours. The annualized cost to respondents for
the information collection is $26,944 (800 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: In 1998, the Commission issued a
safety standard for bicycle helmets (16 CFR part 1203). The standard
includes requirements for labeling and instructions. The standard also
requires that manufacturers and importers of bicycle helmets subject to
the standard issue certificates of compliance based on a reasonable
testing program. Every person issuing certificates of compliance must
maintain records of their testing so the Commission can verify that the
testing was conducted properly. Respondents must comply with the
requirements in 16 CFR part 1203 for labeling and instructions,
testing, certification, and recordkeeping.
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
[[Page 78334]]
<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.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
