CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Safety Standard for 
Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of February 9, 2000 (65 FR 6361), 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 in the Safety Standard for 
Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (16 CFR part 1211). No 
comments were received in response to that notice. The Commission now 
announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
a request for reinstatement of approval of that collection of 
information without change for a period of three years from the date of 
approval.
    The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
608, 104 Stat. 3110) requires all automatic residential garage door 
openers manufactured after January 1, 1993, to comply with the 
entrapment protection requirements of UL Standard 325 that were in 
effect on January 1, 1992. In 1992, the Commission codified the 
entrapment protection provisions of UL Standard 325 in effect on 
January 1, 1992, as the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential 
Garage Door Operators, 16 CFR part 1211, Subpart A. Certification 
regulations implementing the standard require manufacturers, importers 
and private labelers of garage door operators subject to the standard 
to test their products for compliance with the standard, and to 
maintain records of that testing. Those regulations are codified at 16 
CFR part 1211, subparts B and C.
    The Commission uses the records of testing and other information 
required by the certification regulations to determine that automatic 
residential garage door operators subject to the standard comply with 
its requirements. The Commission also uses this information to obtain 
corrective actions if garage door operators fail to comply with the 
standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury to the 
public.
