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 three year extension of approval 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 April 13, 2007.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the proposed 
renewal of this collection of information, or to obtain a copy of the 
pertinent regulations, call or write Linda L. Glatz, Division of Policy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Estimated Burden

    Based on a review of the number of export requests received by the 
CPSC during the last three years, the Commission staff estimates that 
approximately 75 notifications will be received from an estimated 35 
firms per year. The staff further estimates that the average time for 
each response is one hour, for a total of 75 hours of annual burden. 
The annualized cost to respondents would be approximately $3,400.00. 
(75 hours at $44.82/hour based on total compensation for all civilian 
workers in the U.S., July 2006, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

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
