Abstract
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) announces that the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of information collection requirements associated with the 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 previously approved the collection of information under control number 3041-0027. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on September 30, 2025. On July 11, 2025, CPSC published a notice in the Federal Register to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of approval of the collection of information. The Commission received one public comment in support of the Commission's safety standard for children's sleepwear. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of approval of that collection of information.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) announces that
the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for extension of approval of information collection
requirements associated with the 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
previously approved the collection of information under control number
3041-0027. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on
September 30, 2025. On July 11, 2025, CPSC published a notice in the
Federal Register to announce the agency's intention to seek extension
of approval of the collection of information. The Commission received
one public comment in support of the Commission's safety standard for
children's sleepwear. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the
Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for
extension of approval of that collection of information.
DATES: Submit comments on the collection of information by October 24,
2025.

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.
[[Page 45938]]
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 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.
