SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
CPSC seeks to renew the following currently approved collection of information:
Title: Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators.
OMB Number: 3041-0125.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of automatic residential garage door operators.
General Description of Collection: On December 22, 1992, the Commission issued rules prescribing requirements for a reasonable testing program to support certificates of compliance with the Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Operators (57 FR 60449). These regulations also require manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of residential garage door operators to establish and maintain records to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for testing to support certification of compliance. 16 CFR part 1211, subparts B and C.
Estimated Number of Respondents: An estimated 17 firms that conduct performance tests and maintain records based on the test results to retain UL certification and verify compliance with the rule.
Estimated Time per Response: Based on staff's review of industry sources, each respondent will spend an estimated 40 hours (35 hours for PRA burden associated with testing and 5 hours for recordkeeping) annually on the collection of information related to the rule.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 680 hours (17 firms × 40 hours).
Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: Using compensation data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (December 2024, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_03142025.pdf ), staff estimates that the total annual cost of the PRA burden associated with the testing requirement is estimated to be about $45,101, based on an hourly rate of $75.80 as total compensation for management, professional, and related occupations in goods-producing private industries (17 firms × 35 hours × $75.80). Staff also estimates that the total annual cost of the recordkeeping burden is estimated to be about $3,472 based on an hourly rate of $40.85 for sales and office workers (17 firms × 5 hours × $40.85). Therefore, the total burden cost is about $48,573 ($45,101 + $3,472). This estimate includes professional and clerical time that may be spent to retrieve product data from automated or other records systems, explain firm practices/policies intended to assure compliance with the standard, or accompany Commission personnel during inspections.
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:
[top] • whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including
• 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.
