Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 218 / Monday, November 13, 2006 / Proposed Rules 3. Executive Orders Executive Order 12988 (February 5, 1996) requires agencies to state in clear language the preemptive effect, if any, to be given to any new regulation. The amendments proposed below, if issued on a final basis, would modify two flammability standards issued under the FFA. With certain exceptions which are not applicable here, no State or political subdivision of a State may enact or continue in effect ‘‘a flammability standard or other regulation’’ applicable to the same fabric or product as an FFA standard if the State or local flammability standard or regulation is ‘‘designed to protect against the same risk of the occurrence of fire’’ unless the State or local flammability standard or regulation ‘‘is identical’’ to the FFA standard. See section 16 of the FFA (15 U.S.C. 1203). Consequently, if issued as proposed, the amendments proposed below would preempt nonidentical State or local flammability standards or regulations that are intended to address the unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire associated with ignition of carpets and rugs. In accordance with Executive Order 12612 (October 26, 1987), the Commission certifies that the proposed amendments do not have sufficient implications for federalism to warrant a Federalism Assessment.
