This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov. The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov. The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently approved collection of information: Title: Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries. OMB Number: 3041-0195. Type of Review: Renewal of collection. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Manufacturers and importers of packages of button cell and coin batteries; and manufacturers and importers of non-children's products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries. General Description of Collection: Based on the requirements in Reese's Law, 15 U.S.C. 2056e(a) and (b), the Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries, 16 CFR part 1263, prescribes performance and labeling requirements for child-resistant battery compartments on children's and non-children's consumer products that contain or are designed to use button cell or coin batteries. These performance and labeling requirements are intended to reduce or eliminate injuries and deaths associated with children 6 years old and younger ingesting these batteries. The labeling requirements include warning labels for packaging of consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries and for any literature, such as instructions or user manuals, accompanying these consumer products. The standard also includes warning label requirements for packaging of button cell or coin batteries, including button cell or coin batteries packaged separately with a consumer product. Estimated Number of Respondents: CPSC estimates that there are 15,363 entities that will respond to the collection annually. Estimated Time per Response: CPSC estimates that on average each entity will respond three times per year. While the time per response will vary depending on the business and their practices, CPSC estimates 1.25 hours for labeling and 1.25 hours for recordkeeping, on average. Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total estimated burden of the collection is 115,222.5 hours (2.5 hours × 3 × 15,363 =115,222.5), annually. Total Estimated Annual Cost to Respondents: The hourly compensation for all private industry workers in goods-producing industries is $48.97 per hour (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,” total compensation for private industry workers in goods producing industries, December 2025: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_03202026.htm.). At this rate, the annualized cost the total estimated annual cost of the collection of information is approximately $5.6 million annually (115,222.50 hours × $48.97 = $5,642,445.83).
