ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of December 5, 2005 (70 FR 72427), 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 collections of information in regulations implementing two 
flammability standards for carpets and rugs. The regulations are 
codified at 16 CFR parts 1630 and 1631, and prescribe requirements for 
testing and recordkeeping by persons and firms issuing guaranties of 
products subject to the Standard for the Surface Flammability of 
Carpets and Rugs and the Standard for the Surface Flammability of Small 
Carpets and Rugs.
    No comments were received in response to that notice. Therefore, by

submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for 
extension of approval of those collections of information without 
change.
