SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of April 16, 2009 (74 FR 17637), 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 CPSC'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.
