SUBJECT CATEGORY: Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information Collection Requirements --Recordkeeping Requirements Under the Safety Regulations for Non-Full-Size Cribs

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: In the May 18, 2004, Federal Register (69 FR 28124), the Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek an extension of approval of information collection requirements in the safety regulations for nonfullsize cribs. 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and part 1509. No comments were received on that notice. The Commission now announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of approval of that collection of information.

These regulations were issued to reduce hazards of strangulation, suffocation, pinching, bruising, laceration, and other injuries associated with nonfullsize cribs. The regulations prescribe performance, design, and labeling requirements for nonfullsize cribs. They also require manufacturers and importers of those products to maintain sales records for a period of three years after the manufacture or importation of nonfullsize cribs. If any nonfullsize cribs subject to provisions of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and part 1509 fail to comply in a manner severe enough to warrant a recall, the required records can be used by the manufacturer or importer and by the Commission to identify those persons and firms who should be notified of the recall.
