SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently 
approved collection of information:
    Title: Notification Requirements for Coal and Wood Burning 
Appliances.
    OMB Number: 3041-0040.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of coal and wood 
burning appliances.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: An estimated five submissions 
annually.
    Estimated Time per Response: Three hours per submission and 30 
minutes for collecting and mailing the information to the CPSC.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 17.5 hours (5 submissions x 3.5 
hours).
    Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: $1,238, based on an 
average total hourly employee compensation rate of $70.73 for 
management, professional, and related occupations (Bureau of Labor 
Statistics: Total compensation rates for management, professional, and 
related occupations in private goods-producing industries, Table 4, 
March 2021) (17.5 hours x $70.73).
    General Description of Collection: 16 CFR part 1406, Coal and Wood 
Burning Appliances--Notification of Performance and Technical Data 
requires that manufacturers and importers provide consumers with 
written notification regarding certain technical and performance 
information related to safety on each coal and wood burning appliance. 
Manufacturers are also required to provide to the CPSC a copy of the 
notification to consumers and an explanation of all clearance distances 
contained in the notification. For existing models, all known 
manufacturers have complied with the requirements. Accordingly, there 
is no new burden associated with the requirements of 16 CFR part 1406, 
except in cases where existing models are changed, or new models are 
introduced. Fewer than five submissions are estimated annually from new 
stove models coming into the market, or new firms entering the market.
