Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
The standards and implementing regulations establish requirements for testing and recordkeeping by manufacturers and importers of children's sleepwear. Commission staff estimates that about 83 firms manufacture or import products subject to the sleepwear flammability standards. The firms may perform an estimated 2,000 tests each, which take up to 3 hours per test, for a total annual burden of about 6,000 hours on each firm.
Comments are due Dec. 3 to Docket No. CPSC-2013-0002, via http://www.regulations.gov, or to Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Room 502, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814. Further information: Robert Squibb, 301-504-7815, or rsquibb@cpsc.gov.
