Title: Safety Standard and Notification Requirements for Button Cell or
Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries
Description: On 9
February 2023, the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) to establish testing and labeling
requirements for consumer products that contain or are designed to use button
cell or coin batteries, and for the labeling of button cell or coin battery
packaging. The NPR estimated the burden associated with these requirements for
children's products, but did not include an estimated burden for testing and
labeling of non-children's products or for labeling button cell or coin battery
packaging. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the CPSC
requests comments on a proposed collection of information for Testing and
Labeling of Non-Children's Products Containing or Designed to Use Button Cell
or Coin Batteries and Labeling of Button Cell or Battery Packaging. CPSC will
consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting a
control number for this collection of information from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
Submit
written or electronic comments on the collection of information by 12 June
2023.
This
collection of information and the notice of proposed rulemaking are identified
by Docket Number CPSC-2023-0004. The Docket Folder is available from Regulations.gov at https://www.regulations.gov/docket/CPSC-2023-0004/document and provides access to primary and supporting documents as
well as comments received. Documents are also accessible from Regulations.gov by searching the Docket Number. WTO Members and their
stakeholders are asked to submit comments to the USA TBT Enquiry
Point on the NPR by or before 4pm Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT) on 13 March 2023, and on the
collection of information by or before 4pm EDT on 12 June 2023. Comments received by the USA TBT Enquiry
