Title: Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets.
OMB Number: 3041-0127.

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 four hours per model for
recordkeeping and certification activities each year.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: CPSC estimates that manufacturers

General Description of Collection: The Commission's safety standard
for bicycle helmets (16 CFR part 1203) 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.
Alberta E. Mills,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
