SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
CPSC seeks to renew the following currently approved collection of information:
Title: Standard for Omnidirectional CB Base Antennas.
[top] OMB Number: 3041-0006.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas.
General Description of Collection: The Safety Standard for Omnidirectional Citizens Band Base Station Antennas (16 CFR part 1204, subpart A) establishes performance requirements for omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas to reduce unreasonable risks of death and injury that may result if an antenna contacts overhead power lines while being erected or removed from its site. Section 14 of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2063, and the regulations implementing the standard (16 CFR part 1204, subpart B) require manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of antennas, subject to the standard, to test the antennas for compliance with the standard, maintain records of that testing, and certify compliance with the standard.
Estimated Number of Respondents: Ten suppliers may respond to the collection annually by meeting the testing and certification requirements.
Estimated Time per Response: Staff estimates that the average annual recordkeeping burden imposed is approximately 220 hours.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: Based on ten respondents, at 220 hours per response, the total annual burden imposed by the certification regulations on manufacturers, importers and private labelers of omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas is about 2,200 hours.
The Commission staff estimates that the average hourly cost to reporting firms for the time required to perform the required testing and maintain the required records is about $74.73, based on the reported total compensation for management, professional, and related employees in goods-producing private industries. This may, however, be an overestimate because respondents to this collection may be foreign manufacturers that are compensated at a lower average wage rate. Total annual cost to the industry is approximately $164,406 ($74.73 per hour × 2,200 hours = $164,406).
Request for Comments:
The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:
• whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including whether the information would have practical utility;
• whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate;
• whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and
• whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
