SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
[[Page 54645]]
Title: Safety Standard for Clothing Storage Units.
OMB Number: 3041-0191.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of clothing storage
units.
General Description of Collection: Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 2056f,
CPSC promulgated a consumer product safety standard to protect against
tip-over of clothing storage units (CSUs). 16 CFR part 1261. That
standard incorporates by reference ASTM F2057-23, Standard Safety
Specification for Clothing Storage Units. Id. 1261.2. A CSU is defined
as a ``furniture item with drawers and/or hinged doors intended for the
storage of clothing typical with bedroom furniture.'' Section 3.1.3,
ASTM F2057-23. The standard's requirements include warning labels that
contain certain statements and pictograms. These requirements fall
within the definition of ``collection of information,'' as defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3).
Identification and labeling requirements provide information to
consumers and regulators needed to locate and recall noncomplying
products. Identification and labeling requirements include content such
as the name and address of the manufacturer. In addition, CSUs must
contain warning labels. Warning labels or markings provide information
to consumers on hazards and risks associated with product use. The CSU
warning label must state: ``Children have died from furniture
tipover.'' Section 10.2.3.1, ASTM F2057-23.
Estimated Number of Respondents: CPSC estimates that approximately
2,122 respondents will design and update the CSU label annually.\1\
CPSC estimates that there are approximately 20,103,360 CSU units that
will need to be labeled annually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ According to 2023 County Business Patterns data published by
the U.S. Census Bureau there were between 2,075 and 3,955
establishments manufacturing household furniture: Table CB2300CBP;
Upper bound NAICS 33712 (Household and institutional furniture
manufacturing), lower bound NAICS 337122 (Nonupholstered wood
household furniture manufacturing).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Time per Response: The burden associated with the
standard includes time spent updating/designing the labeling or marking
for a CSU model and time spent attaching the label to a CSU. CPSC
estimates that it could take an hour to update/design the labeling or
marking for a CSU model. CPSC estimates it could take 0.06 minutes (3.6
seconds or 1,000 labels per hour) to attach the label to the CSU.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: CPSC estimates that it could take an
hour to update/design the labeling or marking for a CSU model,
therefore, the annual burden is 2,122 hours (based on 2,122
respondents). CPSC estimates that attaching the label to CSUs would
amount to an annual burden of 20,103 hours [(0.06 min x 20,103,360
CSUs)/60 mins per hour]. The total estimated annual burden is 22,225
hours.
Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: The total compensation
cost per hour worked for private industry workers in goods-producing
industries was $47.00 (March 2025, Table 4, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_06132025.pdf">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_06132025.pdf</a>). Based on this analysis, CPSC
estimates that the labor cost of respondent burden is approximately $1
million annually [(2,122 hours + 20,103 hours) x $47.00 per hour =
$1,044,575].
In addition to the labor burden costs addressed above, the labeling
requirement imposes additional annualized costs. These costs include
capital costs for adhesive paper used for each label to be placed on
the CSUs. CPSC estimates the cost of the printed label will be about
$0.01. Therefore, the total cost of materials to industry would be
about $200,000 per year ($0.01 x 20,103,360 units = $201,033.60).
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.
Alberta E. Mills,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
