CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Safety Standard for 
Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base Station Antennas

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of December 15, 1999 (64 FR 69992), 
the Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice in accordance 
with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of 
approval of the collection of information required in the Safety 
Standard for Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base Station (16 CFR part 
1204). No comments were received in response to that notice. By 
publication of this notice, the Commission announces that it has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for 
extension of approval of that collection of information without change 
through April 30, 2003.
    The Safety Standard for Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base Station 
Antennas establishes performance requirements for omnidirectional 
citizens band base station antennas to reduce unreasonable risks of 
death and injury which may result if an antenna contacts overhead power 
lines while being erected or removed from its site. Certification 
regulations implementing the standard require manufacturers, importers, 
and private labelers of antennas subject to the standard to test 
antennas for compliance with the standard, and to maintain records of 
that testing.
    The records of testing and other information required by the 
certification regulations allow the Commission to determine that 
antennas subject to the standard comply with its requirements. This 
information would also enable the Commission to obtain corrective 
actions if omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas failed 
to comply with the standard in a manner which creates a substantial 
risk of injury to the public.
