The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting approval of this collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget.

Proposed Collection; Comment Request—Testing and Recordkeeping Requirements Under the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads

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 through August 31, 2004, of information collection requirements in the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (16 CFR part 1632). The standard is intended to reduce unreasonable risks of burn injuries and deaths from fires associated with mattresses and mattress pads. The standard prescribes a test to assure that a mattress or mattress pad will resist ignition from a smoldering cigarette. The standard requires manufacturers to perform prototype tests of each combination of materials and construction methods used to produce mattresses or mattress pads and to obtain acceptable results from such testing. Sale or distribution of mattresses without successful completion of the testing required by the standard violates section 3 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (15 U.S.C. 1192). An enforcement rule implementing the standard requires manufacturers to maintain records of testing performed in accordance with the standard and other information about the mattresses or mattress pads that they produce. The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting approval of this collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget. DATES :Written comments must be received by the Office of the Secretary not later than June 29, 2000. ADDRESSES :Written comments should be captioned‘‘Collection of Information—Mattress Flammability Standard’’and mailed to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207, or delivered to that office, room 502, 4330
