CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


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

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the February 12, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 6533), 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 full-size cribs. 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and part 
1508. 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. 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 full-size cribs. The regulations prescribe performance, 
design, and labeling requirements for 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 full-size cribs. If any full-size cribs subject to 
provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(13) and part 1508 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 
3041-0013. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on 
September 30, 2007.
