SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently

Appliances.
OMB Number: 3041-0040.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.

Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of coal and wood
burning appliances.
Estimated Number of Respondents: We estimate five responses
annually.
Estimated Time per Response: We estimate three hours per submission
and 30 minutes for collecting and mailing the information to the CPSC.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total estimated annual burden is

Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: The total estimated
annualized respondent cost is approximately $795, based on an average
total hourly employee compensation rate of $45.41 for private industry
workers in goods producing industries (17.5 hours x $45.41 = $794.68)
(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation, Table 4, June 2024, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_09102024.pdf">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_09102024.pdf</a>.)
General Description of Collection: In 16 CFR part 1406, Coal and
Wood Burning Appliances--Notification of Performance and Technical
Data, issued under Section 27(e) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15
U.S.C. 2076(e), CPSC requires that certain performance and technical
data be supplied on labeling attached to or accompanying each model of
coal and wood burning stoves, freestanding fireplaces, similar
appliances, and in instruction manuals provided with the appliances so
consumers will be aware of important safety information concerning the
installation, operation, and maintenance of these appliances. In
addition, catalogs and other point-of-sale literature are required to
contain appropriate clearances and other information.
The rule also contains a requirement that manufacturers provide to
the Commission copies of the notice (label) and the directions
(instruction manual). Manufacturers must also provide the Commission
with a statement of the reasons supporting the manufacturer's
conclusion that clearance distances stated in the notice to consumers
are appropriate for preventing fires, for each stove model
manufactured. This information must also be supplied when there is any
change in the required data or when a new model is introduced.
All known manufacturers have already complied with the requirements
for providing information in labels, manuals, catalogs, and point-of-
sale literature and have met the requirements for submitting all labels
and owner's manuals. For the known manufacturers, there should be no
additional burden associated with the requirements of 16 CFR part 1406,
except when existing models are changed, or new models are introduced.
We anticipate that there will be no more than five submissions annually
as a result of new stove models coming into the market or new firms
entering the market.
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.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
