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 CPSC 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: CPSC 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. As a result, CPSC estimates that the total annual burden of this
collection is 1,880 hours. The annualized cost to respondents for the
information collection is $63,318.40 (1,880 hours x $33.68/hour), as
estimated from total compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics.\1\

support occupations in goods-producing industries is estimated by
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to be $33.68: Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation, March 2023, Table 4: (<a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_06162023.pdf">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_06162023.pdf</a>).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Description of Collection: The Commission's safety standard
for multi-purpose lighters (16 CFR part 1212) and section 14(a)(1) of
the Consumer Product Safety Act 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.
Alberta E. Mills,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
