BILLING CODE 6151-01-M CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION Collection of Information; Proposed Extension of Approval; Comment Request—Follow-Up Activities for Product-Related Injuries AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission requests comments on a proposed extension of approval of a collection of information from persons who have been involved in or have witnessed incidents associated with consumer products.

The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting an extension of approval of this collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget. DATES: The Office of the Secretary must receive comments not later than October 3, 2006. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be captioned “Product-Related Injuries” and e-mailed to the Office of the Secretary at *cpsc-os@cpsc.gov* or mailed to Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814.

Written comments may also be sent to the Office of the Secretary by facsimile at

(301)504-0127. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the proposed extension of approval of the collection of information, or to obtain a copy of any of the interview guides or forms used for this collection of information, contact Linda L. Glatz, Office of Planning and Evaluation, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone

(301)504-7671; e-mail *lglatz@cpsc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), requires the Commission to collect information related to the causes and prevention of death, injury, and illness associated with consumer products. That legislation also requires the Commission to conduct continuing studies and investigations of deaths, injuries, diseases, other health impairments, and economic losses resulting from accidents involving consumer products. The Commission uses this information to support development and improvement of voluntary standards, rulemaking proceedings, information and education campaigns, and administrative and judicial proceedings. These safety efforts are vitally important to help make consumer products safer and to remove unsafe products from the channels of distribution and from consumers' homes. Persons who have sustained injuries or who have witnessed safety-related incidents associated with consumer products are an important source of safety information. From consumer complaints, newspaper accounts, death certificates, hospital emergency room reports, and other sources, the Commission investigates a limited number of incidents. These investigations may involve face-to-face or telephone interviews with accident victims or witnesses, as well as contact with state and local officials, including police, coroners, and fire investigators. The Commission also receives information about product-related injuries from persons who provide written information by using forms displayed on the Commission's Internet Web site or printed in the *Consumer Product Safety Review* and other Commission publications. The Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)approved the collection of information concerning product-related injuries under control number 3041-0029. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on September 30, 2006. The Commission now proposes to request an extension of approval of this collection of information. As explained below, the current estimates that this collection of information will require approximately 7,030 hours on all respondents. B. Estimated Burden The Commission staff obtains information about incidents involving consumer products from approximately 14,851 persons annually. The staff conducts face-to-face interviews at incident sites with approximately 807 persons each year. On average, an on-site interview takes approximately 5 hours. The staff will also conduct approximately 2,544 in-depth investigations by telephone. Each in-depth telephone investigation requires approximately 20 minutes. Additionally, the Commission's hotline staff interviews approximately 4,600 persons each year about incidents involving selected consumer products. These interviews take an average of 10 minutes each. Each year, the Commission also receives information from about 6,900 persons who complete forms requesting information about product-related incidents or injuries. These forms appear on the Commission's Internet Web site, *http://www.cpsc.gov,* and are printed in the *Consumer Product Safety Review* and other Commission publications. The staff estimates that completion of a form takes about 12 minutes. The Commission staff estimates that this collection of information imposes a total annual burden of 7,030 hours on all respondents: 4,035 hours for face-to-face interviews; 848 hours for in-depth telephone interviews; 1,380 hours for completion of written forms; and 767 hours for responses to Hotline telephone questionnaires. The Commission staff estimates the value of the time of respondents to this collection of information at $28.75 an hour (June 2005, Bureau of Labor Statistics). At this valuation, the estimated annual cost to the public of this information collection will be about $202,000. C. 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. Dated: July 31, 2006. Todd A. Stevenson, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission. [FR Doc. E6-12576 Filed 8-3-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6355-01-P CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request—Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In the **Federal Register** of May 15, 2006 (71 FR 28017), 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 extension of approval of the collection of information in the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (16 CFR part 1211). One comment was received in response to that notice stating that reporting of problems with garage door operations should be mandatory and posted on the internet. Section 15(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2064(b), requires every manufacturer, importer, distributor and retailer of a consumer product distributed in commerce who obtains information which reasonably supports the conclusion that such product contains a defect which could create a substantial product hazard or creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, to immediately inform the Commission. If a determination is made that a substantial hazard exists regarding garage doors or garage door operators, a recall of that product may be issued and posted on the CPSC Web site at *http://www.cpsc.gov.* In addition, product-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms are reported in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System at *http://www.cpsc.gov/LIBRARY/neiss.html.* Accordingly, 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 without change for a period of three years from the date of approval. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-608, 104 Stat. 3110) requires all automatic residential garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993, to comply with the entrapment protection requirements of UL Standard 325 that were in effect on January 1, 1992. In 1992, the Commission codified the entrapment protection provisions of UL Standard 325 in effect on January 1, 1992, as the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators, 16 CFR part 1211, Subpart A. Certification regulations implementing the standard require manufacturers, importers and private labelers of garage door operators subject to the standard to test their products for compliance with the standard, and to maintain records of that testing. Those regulations are codified at 16 CFR part 1211, subparts B and C. The Commission uses the records of testing and other information required by the certification regulations to determine that automatic residential garage door operators subject to the standard comply with its requirements. The Commission also uses this information to obtain corrective actions if garage door operators fail to comply with the standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury to the public.
