Burning Appliances
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) announces that
the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for extension of approval of information collection
regarding notification requirements for coal and wood burning
appliances. OMB previously approved the collection of information under
Control Number 3041-0040. OMB's most recent extension of approval will
expire on March 31, 2025. On December 3, 2024, CPSC published a notice
in the Federal Register to announce the agency's intention to seek
extension of approval of the collection of information. The Commission
did not receive any public comments. Therefore, by publication of this
notice, the Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a
request for extension of approval of that collection of information.
DATES: Submit comments on the collection of information by March 31,
2025.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments about this request by email:
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or fax: 202-395-6881. Comments by mail
should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the CPSC, Office of Management and Budget,
Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. Written comments
that are sent to OMB also should be submitted electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-2012-0024.

industries (17.5 hours x $45.41 = $794.68) (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, Table 4, June
2024, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_09102024.pdf).
General Description of Collection: In 16 CFR part 1406, Coal and
Wood Burning Appliances--Notification of Performance and Technical
Data, issued under Section 27(e) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15
U.S.C. 2076(e), CPSC requires that certain performance and technical
data be supplied on labeling attached to or accompanying each model of
coal and wood burning stoves, freestanding fireplaces, similar
appliances, and in instruction manuals provided with the appliances so
consumers will be aware of important safety information concerning the
installation, operation, and maintenance of these appliances. In
addition, catalogs and other point-of-sale literature are required to
contain appropriate clearances and other information. The rule also
contains a requirement that manufacturers provide to the Commission
copies of the notice (label) and the directions (instruction manual).
Manufacturers must also provide the Commission with a statement of the
reasons supporting the manufacturer's conclusion that clearance
distances stated in the notice to consumers are appropriate for
preventing fires, for each stove model manufactured. This information
must also be supplied when there is any change in the required data or
when a new model is introduced.
All known manufacturers are believed to have already complied with
the requirements for providing information in labels, manuals,
catalogs, and point-of-sale literature and the requirements for
submitting all labels and owner's manuals. For the known manufacturers,
there should be no additional burden associated with the requirements
of 16 CFR part 1406, except when existing models are changed, or new
models are introduced. We anticipate that there will be no more than
five submissions annually as a result of new stove models coming into
the market or new firms entering the market.
Alberta E. Mills,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
