CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request--Safety Standard for
Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of March 28, 2006 (71 FR 15388), 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 Safety
Standard for Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers (16 CFR part 1205). No
comments were received in response to this 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 a period
of three years from the date of approval by OMB.
The Safety Standard for Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers establishes
performance and labeling requirements for mowers to reduce unreasonable
risks of injury resulting from accidental contact with the moving
blades of mowers. Certification regulations implementing the standard
require manufacturers, importers and private labelers of mowers subject
to the standard to test mowers for compliance with the standard, and to
maintain records of that testing.
The records of testing and other information required by the
certification regulations allow the Commission to determine that walk-
behind power mowers subject to the standard comply with its
requirements. This information also enables the Commission to obtain
corrective actions if mowers fail to comply with the standard in a
manner that creates a substantial risk of injury to the public.
