CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Requirements for
Electrically Operated Toys and Children's Articles
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of April 4, 2006 (71 FR 16766), 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 required in the Requirements
for Electrically Operated Toys or Other Electrically Operated Articles
Intended for Use by Children (16 CFR Part 1505). No comments were
received in response to that notice. By publication of this notice, the
Commission announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of that collection
of information without change for three years from the date of approval
by OMB.
The regulations in Part 1505 establish performance and labeling
requirements for electrically operated toys and children's articles to
reduce unreasonable risks of injury to children from electric shock,
electrical burns, and thermal burns associated with those products.
Section 1505.4(a)(3) of the regulations requires manufacturers and
importers of electrically operated toys and children's articles to
maintain records for three years containing information about: (1)
Material and production specifications; (2) the quality assurance
program used; (3) results of all tests and inspections conducted; and
(4) sales and distribution of electrically operated toys and children's
articles.
The records of testing and other information required by the
regulations allow the Commission to determine if electrically operated
toys and children's articles comply with the requirements of the
regulations in Part 1505. If the Commission determines that products
fail to comply with the regulations, this information also enables the
Commission and the firm to: (i) Identify specific lots or production
lines of products which fail to comply with applicable requirements;
and (ii) notify distributors and retailers in the event those products
are subject to recall.
