volume. To estimate a burden, a midpoint of 100 tests per year per firm 
is used.

establish and maintain test records.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 30,000 hours (120 firms x 100 tests 
x 2.5 hours).

Flammability of Carpets and Rugs (16 CFR part 1630) and the Standard 
for the Surface Flammability of Small Carpets and Rugs (16 CFR part 
1631) establish requirements for testing and recordkeeping for 
manufacturers and importers who furnish guaranties subject to the 
carpet and rug flammability standards.
