SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently 
approved collection of information:
    Title: Requirements for Electrically Operated Toys.
    OMB Number: 3041-0035.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of electrically 
operated toys and other electrically operated articles.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40 firms that manufacture or 
import electrically operated toys and other electrically operated 
articles have been identified; based on manufacturer and importer 
records for sales and distribution of inventory, there are 
approximately 10 models each year per firm for which testing and 
recordkeeping is required resulting in 400 records (40 firms x 10 
models) per year.
    Estimated Time per Response: Based on discussion with a trade 
association for the toy industry, we estimate that the tests required 
by the regulations can be performed on one model in 16 hours and that 
four hours of recordkeeping is required per model. In addition, each 
firm may spend 30 minutes or less per model on labeling requirements.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 6400 hours for testing burden (16 
hours x 400 records); 1600 hours for recordkeeping (4 hours x 400 
records); 200 hours for labeling (40 firms x \1/2\ hour x 10 models) 
for a total annual burden of 8200 hours per year.
    General Description of Collection: The regulations in 16 CFR 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. Manufacturers and importers of 
electrically operated toys and children's articles are required to 
maintain records for three years on: (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.

Request for Comments

    The Commission solicits written comments from all interested 
persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission 
specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:
--Whether the collection of information described above is necessary 
for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including 
whether the information would have practical utility;
--Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of 
information is accurate;
--Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected could be enhanced; and
--Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be 
minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological 
collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
