Consumers may submit reports of harm involving the use of consumer products or other products or substances regulated by the CPSC and also allow manufacturers of such to comment on the reports of harm. The reports and comments would be part of a public database operated and maintained by the CPSC.
This information collection renewal request based on an estimated 19,845 burden hours per year for the Database is a decrease of 17,284 hours since this collection of information was last approved by OMB in 2011. The decrease in burden is due primarily to the fact that the number of responses estimated in our original request overstated the number of actual responses submitted; we thus lowered the estimated number of responses based on actual experience since the original request.
Note that the 19,845 burden hours for this collection of information includes two new categories of information, Voluntary Brand Identification and Small Batch Manufacturer Identification. The burden hours for these new categories are 205 and 96 hours, respectively.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
