PART 1406--COAL AND WOOD BURNING APPLIANCES--NOTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE AND TECHNICAL DATA--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1406.5  Performance and technical data to be furnished to the Commission.

    Manufacturers, including importers, of coal and wood burning 
appliances as defined in Sec. 1406.3(a) shall provide to the Commission 
the following performance and technical data related to performance and 
safety.
    (a) Written notice. Manufacturers shall provide to the Commission 
copies of the written notice required by Sec. 1406.4(a). If the written 
notice is provided to purchasers in a way, such as by casting or 
stamping the notice into the stove, that makes it impractical to furnish 
a sample of the actual notice to the Commission, the manufacturer will 
provide an actual-size copy of the notice and a description of the 
forming process.
    (b) Directions. Manufacturers shall provide to the Commission a copy 
of the directions required by Sec. 1406.4(b).
    (c) Rationale. Manufacturers shall provide to the Commission a 
statement of how the distances to combustibles required to be stated by 
Sec. 1406.4(a)(1) were determined. In addition, the maufacturer will 
state the type of appliance, its fuel, size, and weight, and the 
material of which it is constructed, unless this information is included 
in the directions submitted under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (d) General. (1) The information required to be submitted under 
paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section shall be submitted for each 
distinct design or model of appliance manufactured. An appliance will be 
considered to be a distinct design or model if it differs from other 
appliances of the same manufacturer by functional differences such as 
performance, weight,

size, or capacity. Differences in cosmetic or other nonfunctional 
features do not require the submission of additional information.
    (2) The written notice, directions, and rationale shall be provided 
to the Assistant Executive Director for Compliance, Consumer Product 
Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207, by December 6, 1983. If there 
is a subsequent change in the component materials or design features of 
a model for which this information was previously submitted that could 
cause the model to require different clearances from combustibles or a 
different type of chimney, or if a new product is introduced into United 
States commerce, the required information shall be submitted within 30 
days after the change or introduction.

(Approved by Office of Management and Budget under control number 3041-
