CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request--Procedures for Export of 
Noncomplying Products

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission requests 
comments on a proposed extension of approval through August 31, 2004, 
of information collection requirements in regulations codified at 16 
CFR part 1019, which establish procedures for export of noncomplying 
products. These regulations implement provisions of the Consumer 
Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, and the 
Flammable Fabrics Act that require persons and firms to notify the 
Commission before exporting any product that fails to comply with an 
applicable standard or regulation enforced under provisions of those 
laws. The Commission is required by law to transmit the information 
relating to the proposed exportation to the government of the country 
of intended destination. The Commission will consider all comments 
received in response to this notice before requesting approval of this 
collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget.

DATES: Written comments must be received by the Office of the 
Secretary not later than June 29, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be captioned ``Collection of 
Information--Procedures for Export of Noncomplying Products'' and 
mailed to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety 
Commission, Washington, DC 20207, or delivered to that office, room 
502, 4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Written comments 
may also be sent to the Office of the Secretary by facsimile at (301) 
504-0127 or by e-mail at [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the 
proposed collection of information call or write Linda L. Glatz, Office 
of Planning and Evaluation, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 
Washington, DC 20207; (301) 504-0416, Ext. 2226.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Estimated Burden

    The Commission staff estimates that there are 65 firms required to 
annually submit information to the Commission on proposed exports of 
noncomplying products. The staff further estimates that these 65 firms 
will submit 75 responses with one hour for each response needed, for a 
total of 75 hours of annual burden. At a cost of $13.50 per hour, the 
average hourly non-farm wage figure, U.S. Statistical Abstract, 2000, 
the annualized cost to respondents would be $1,012.50.

B. 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:

--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;
--Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of 
information is accurate;
--Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected could be enhanced; and
--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.
