Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This information collection renewal request is based on an estimated 7,024 burden hours per year for the Database, which represents a decrease of 6,319 hours since this collection of information was last approved by OMB in 2019. Total burden from reports of harm decreased by 4,647 hours (from 6,546 to 1,899), and total burden for manufacturer’s submission decreased by 1,672 hours, from 6,797 to 5,125. Declines in total burden hours are attributed primarily to a decline in the number of reports of harm submitted by mail, e-mail, and fax. In addition, CPSC staff has identified an error in the 2019 update for this control number that increased the estimated burden; the error involved inclusion of death certificates collected by CPSC staff in the number of reports of harm submitted for the Database by mail, e-mail, and fax. Finally, for this update there was a decrease in small batch manufacturer activity.
