Agency Information Collection Activities; Extension of 
Collection; Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door 
Operators

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 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 of information collection 
requirements associated with the Safety Standard for Automatic 
Residential Garage Door Operators. OMB previously approved the 
collection of information under control number 3041-0125. OMB's most 
recent extension of approval will expire on September 30, 2025. On June 
23, 2025, 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 one, out of scope, public 
comment. 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 October 14, 
2025.

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. Written comments 
that are sent to OMB also should be submitted electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-2012-0054.

Safety Commission, 4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently 
approved collection of information:
    Title: Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators.
    OMB Number: 3041-0125.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of 
automatic residential garage door operators.
    General Description of Collection: On December 22, 1992, the 
Commission issued rules prescribing requirements for a reasonable 
testing program to support certificates of compliance with the Safety 
Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (57 FR 60449). 
These regulations also require manufacturers, importers, and private 
labelers of residential garage door operators to establish and maintain 
records to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for testing to 
support certification of compliance. 16 CFR part 1211, subparts B and 
C.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: An estimated 17 firms that conduct 
performance tests and maintain records based on the test results to 
retain Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) certification and verify 
compliance with the rule.
    Estimated Time per Response: Based on staff's review of industry 
sources, each respondent will spend an estimated 40 hours (35 hours for 
PRA burden associated with testing and 5 hours for recordkeeping) 
annually on the collection of information related to the rule.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 680 hours (17 firms x 40 hours).
    Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: Using compensation data 
available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Employer 
Costs for Employee Compensation (December 2024, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_03142025.pdf), staff estimates that the 
total annual cost of the PRA burden associated with the testing 
requirement is estimated to be about $45,101, based on an hourly rate 
of $75.80 as total compensation for management, professional, and 
related occupations in goods-producing private

industries (17 firms x 35 hours x $75.80). Staff also estimates that 
the total annual cost of the recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 
about $3,472 based on an hourly rate of $40.85 for sales and office 
workers (17 firms x 5 hours x $40.85). Therefore, the total burden cost 
is about $48,573 ($45,101 + $3,472). This estimate includes 
professional and clerical time that may be spent to retrieve product 
data from automated or other records systems, explain firm practices/
policies intended to assure compliance with the standard, or accompany 
Commission personnel during inspections.
