SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of July 8, 2009 (74 
FR 32572), 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 the collection of information required in the 
Requirements for Electrically Operated Toys or Other Electrically 
Operated Articles Intended for Use by Children (16 CFR part 1505). No 
comments were received in response to that notice.
    The regulations in Part 1505 establish performance and labeling 
requirements for electrically operated toys and children's articles to 
reduce unreasonable risks of injury to children from electric shock, 
electrical burns, and thermal burns associated with those products. 
Section 1505.4(a)(3) of the regulations requires manufacturers and 
importers of electrically operated toys and children's articles to 
maintain records for three years containing information about: (1) 
Material and production specifications; (2) the quality assurance 
program used; (3) results of all tests and inspections conducted; and 
(4) sales and distribution of electrically operated toys and children's 
articles.
    The records of testing and other information required by the 
regulations allow the Commission to determine if electrically operated 
toys and children's articles comply with the requirements of the 
regulations in Part 1505. If the Commission determines that products 
fail to comply with the regulations, this information also enables the 
Commission and the firm to: (i) Identify specific lots or production 
lines of products which fail to comply with applicable requirements; 
and (ii) notify distributors and retailers in the event those products 
are subject to recall.
