SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 
of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-608, 104 Stat. 3110) requires all automatic 
residential garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993, to 
comply with the entrapment protection requirements of UL Standard 325 
that were in effect on January 1, 1992. In 1992, the Commission 
codified the entrapment protection provisions of UL Standard 325 in 
effect on January 1, 1992, as the Safety Standard for Automatic 
Residential Garage Door Operators, 16 CFR part 1211, subpart A. 
Certification regulations implementing the standard require 
manufacturers, importers and private labelers of garage door operators 
subject to the standard to test their products for compliance with the 
standard, and to maintain records of that testing. Those regulations 
are codified at 16 CFR part 1211, subparts B and C.

[[Page 48067]]

    The Commission uses the records of testing and other information 
required by the certification regulations to determine that automatic 
residential garage door operators subject to the standard comply with 
its requirements. The Commission also uses this information to obtain 
corrective actions if garage door operators fail to comply with the 
standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury to the 
public.
    In the Federal Register of July 8, 2009 (74 FR 32570), 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 in the Safety Standard for Automatic 
Residential Garage Door Operators (16 CFR part 1211). No comments were 
received in response to that notice.
