SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes
0 Through 6X; and the Standard for the Flammability of Children's
Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through 14.
OMB Number: 3041-0027.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of children's
sleepwear.
General Description of Collection: The Standard for the
Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 through 6X (16 CFR part
1615) and the Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear:
Sizes 7 through 14 (16 CFR part 1616) address the fire hazard
associated with small-flame ignition sources for children's sleepwear
manufactured for sale in, or imported into, the United States. The
standards also require manufacturers and importers of children's
sleepwear to collect information resulting from product testing and
maintenance of the testing records. 16 CFR part 1615, subpart B; 16 CFR
part 1616; subpart B.
Estimated Number of Respondents: Based on a review of past
inspections and published industry information, CPSC staff estimates
that there could be as many as 615 domestic children's apparel
manufacturers in the United States subject to the rule. However, not
all these manufacturers will produce children's sleepwear. Therefore,
this figure is likely an overestimate of the actual number of firms
responding to the collection of information in any given year.
Furthermore, using the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) codes for
children's sleepwear, CPSC staff found approximately 3,641 importers
that supply children's sleepwear to the U.S. market. Many of the 615
domestic manufacturers, along with many large U.S. retailers, may be
among the importers, so this too could be an
[[Page 30892]]
overestimate of respondents to the information collection. If all 615
U.S. producers and all 3,641 importers introduced new children's
sleepwear garments each year, the total number of respondents to the
information collection would be 4,256 (615 + 3,641). As noted above,
the actual number of respondents is likely lower.
Estimated Time per Response: PRA burden associated with testing and
recordkeeping of each sleepwear item is approximately three hours.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The 50 largest domestic
manufacturers and the 100 largest importers may each introduce an
average of 100 new children's sleepwear items annually. The annual
burden for the 50 large domestic manufacturers and the 100 largest
importers is estimated at 45,000 hours for PRA burden associated with
testing and recordkeeping (150 firms x 100 items x 3 hours). Without
adjusting for possible double-counting, CPSC staff estimates that the
remaining 565 manufacturers and 3,541 importers may each introduce an
average of 10 new children's sleepwear items, for a total burden of
123,180 hours (4,106 x 10 items x 3 hours.) Therefore, the total
estimated potential annual burden imposed by the standard and
regulations on all manufacturers and importers of children's sleepwear
will be about 168,180 hours (45,000 + 123,180).
Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: Using compensation data
available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ``Employer Costs
for Employee Compensation,'' December 2024, Table 4, total compensation
for management, professional, and related workers in goods-producing
private industries, <a href="http://www.bls.gov/ncs">http://www.bls.gov/ncs</a>, the annual cost to the
industry is estimated to be $12,748,044 based on an hourly wage of
$75.80 x 168,180 hours.
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

technological collection techniques, or other forms of information
technology.
