CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

 

Notification of Request for Approval of a Collection of 
Information About Product-Related Injuries

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for approval 
through May 31, 1997, to collect information about product-related 
injuries.
    Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act 915 U.S.C. 2054(a)) 
requires the Commission to collect information related to the cause and 
prevention of death, injury, and illness associated with consumer 
products, and to conduct continuing studies and investigations of 
deaths, injuries, diseases, and economic losses resulting from 
accidents involving consumer products. The Commission uses this 
information to support rulemaking proceedings, development and 
improvement of voluntary standards, information and education programs, 
and administrative and judicial proceedings to remove unsafe products 
from the marketplace and consumers' homes.
    Persons who have been involved in or who have witnessed accidents 
associated with consumer products are an important source of 
information about deaths, injuries, and illnesses resulting from such 
accidents. From consumer complaints, newspapers accounts, death 
certificates, hospital emergency room reports, and other sources, the 
Commission selects a limited number of accidents for investigation. 
These investigations may involve face-to-face interviews with accident 
victims or witnesses, or telephone interviews with those persons.
