of Information Collection; Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) announces that 
the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request for extension of approval for a collection of 
information relating to the Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets. OMB 
previously approved the collection of information under Control Number 
3041-0127. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on 
January 31, 2024. On November 15, 2023, CPSC published a notice in the 
Federal Register to announce the agency's intention to seek extension 
of approval of the collection of information. The Commission received 
no comments. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission 
announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of 
approval of that collection of information.

DATES: Submit comments on the collection of information by February 26, 
2024.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments about this request by email: 
[email protected] or fax: 202-395-6881. Comments by mail 
should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the CPSC, Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. In addition, 
written comments that are sent to OMB also should be submitted 
electronically at www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-2010-0056.

    Type of Review: Extension of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of bicycle helmets.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: The Commission estimates that 38 
manufacturers and importers will issue certificates on an estimated 
total of 200 models annually, including both older models and new 
models.
    Estimated Time per Response: The Commission estimates that 
manufacturers and importers will require four hours per model for 
recordkeeping and certification activities each year.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: CPSC estimates that manufacturers 
and importers will conduct recordkeeping and reporting activities for a 
total of 200 models, and that a total of four hours will be required 
per model. As a result, CPSC estimates that the total annual burden of 
this collection is 800 hours. The annualized cost to respondents for 
the information collection is $26,944 (800 hours x $33.68/hour), as 
estimated from total compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau 
of Labor Statistics.\1\

    General Description of Collection: The Commission's safety standard 
for bicycle helmets (16 CFR part 1203) includes requirements for 
labeling and instructions. The standard also requires that 
manufacturers and importers of bicycle helmets subject to the standard 
issue certificates of compliance based on a reasonable testing program. 
Every person issuing certificates of compliance must maintain records 
of their testing so the Commission can verify that the testing was 
conducted properly. Respondents must comply with the requirements in 16 
CFR part 1203 for labeling and instructions, testing, certification, 
and recordkeeping.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
