SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently
approved collection of information:
Title: Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and
Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries.
OMB Number: 3041-0195.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of packages of button
cell and coin batteries; and manufacturers and importers of non-
children's products that contain or are designed to use button cell or
coin batteries.
General Description of Collection: Based on the requirements in
Reese's Law, 15 U.S.C. 2056e(a) and (b), the Safety Standard for Button
Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries,
16 CFR part 1263, prescribes performance and labeling requirements for
child-resistant battery compartments on children's and non-children's
consumer products that contain or are designed to use button cell or
coin batteries. These performance and labeling requirements are
intended to reduce or eliminate injuries and deaths associated with
children 6 years old and younger ingesting these batteries. The
labeling requirements include warning labels for packaging of consumer
products containing button cell or coin batteries and for any
literature, such as instructions or user manuals, accompanying these
consumer products. The standard also includes warning label
requirements for packaging of button cell or coin batteries, including
button cell or coin batteries packaged separately with a consumer
product.
Estimated Number of Respondents: CPSC estimates that there are
15,363 entities that will respond to the collection annually.
Estimated Time per Response: CPSC estimates that on average each
entity will respond three times per year. While the time per response
will vary depending on the business and their practices, CPSC estimates
1.25 hours for labeling and 1.25 hours for recordkeeping, on average.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total estimated burden of the
collection is 115,222.5 hours (2.5 hours x 3 x 15,363 =115,222.5),
annually.
Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: The hourly compensation
for all private industry workers in goods-producing industries is
$48.97 per hour (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ``Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation,'' total compensation for private industry
workers in goods producing industries, December 2025: <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_03202026.htm">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_03202026.htm</a>.). At this rate,
the annualized cost the total estimated annual cost of the collection
of information is approximately $5.6 million annually (115,222.50 hours
x $48.97 = $5,642,445.83).
