Mattress Flammability Reporting Rules Up for Renewal

## Summary

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking for your thoughts on keeping their rules about how mattresses and mattress pads must resist catching fire. This affects mattress makers and sellers who need to keep sharing safety info. Comments are open until August 17, 2026, and there’s no new cost—just a chance to help keep everyone safe and sound while they sleep!

## Abstract

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) requests comments on a proposed extension of approval of information collection requirements associated with the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads and the Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) previously approved the collection of information under control number 3041-0014. OMB's most recent extension of approval will expire on October 31, 2026. The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting an extension of this collection of information from OMB.
