CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information 
Collection Requirements--Recordkeeping Requirements Under the Safety 
Regulations for Non-Full-Size Cribs

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the February 12, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 6535), the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or 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 
an extension of approval of information collection requirements in the 
safety regulations for non-full-size cribs. 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and 
part 1509. Joint comments in support of the information collection were 
submitted by the Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, Kids 
in Danger and Keeping Babies Safe, Inc. Commentors state that the 
ability of the Commission to better communicate news of recalls to 
retailers and individuals is critical to removing potentially dangerous 
cribs and the continued collection of information may assist in that 
effort.

[[Page 31297]]

The Commission now announces that it is submitting to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of that 
collection of information.
    These regulations were issued to reduce hazards of strangulation, 
suffocation, pinching, bruising, laceration, and other injuries 
associated with non-full-size cribs. The regulations prescribe 
performance, design, and labeling requirements for non-full-size cribs. 
They also require manufacturers and importers of those products to 
maintain sales records for a period of three years after the 
manufacture or importation of non-full-size cribs. If any non-full-size 
cribs subject to provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and part 1509 fail 
to comply in a manner severe enough to warrant a recall, the required 
records can be used by the manufacturer or importer and by the 
Commission to identify those persons and firms who should be notified 
of the recall. OMB previously approved the collection of information 
under control number 3041-0012. OMB's most recent extension of approval 
will expire on September 30, 2007.
