(2) Airworthy Product: For any
requirement in this AD to obtain corrective
actions from a manufacturer or other source,
use these actions if they are FAA-approved.
Corrective actions are considered FAAapproved if they are approved by the State

Safety Improvement Act of 2008

A. Background
In 1973, the Commission issued
mandatory regulations for full-size cribs,
which were amended in 1982 and are
codified at 16 CFR part 1508. In 1976,
the Commission issued nearly identical
regulations for non-full-size cribs,
which were also amended in 1982, and
are codified at 16 CFR part 1509. In
1996, the Commission published an
advance notice of proposed rulemaking
(‘‘ANPR’’) which initiated a rulemaking
proceeding for the possible amendment
of the Commission’s crib regulations to
address the risk of slats disengaging
from cribs sides. 61 FR 65997 (Dec. 16,
1996). After publication of the ANPR,
the Commission staff worked with the
voluntary standards group, ASTM
International (formerly known as the
American Society for Testing and
Materials), which added provisions in
its standard for full-size baby cribs,
ASTM F 1169, to address this hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (‘‘CPSIA’’,
Pub. L. 110–314) was enacted on August
14, 2008. Section 104(b) of the CPSIA
requires the Commission to promulgate
consumer product safety standards for
durable infant or toddler products.
These standards are to be ‘‘substantially
the same as’’ applicable voluntary
standards or more stringent than the
voluntary standard if the Commission
concludes that more stringent
requirements would further reduce the
risk of injury associated with the

Federal Register, the Commission is
issuing a proposed rule that would
establish safety standards for full-size
and non-full-size cribs that are
substantially the same as voluntary
standards ASTM F 1169–10, Standard
Consumer Safety Specification for FullSize Baby Cribs, and ASTM F 406–10,
Standard Consumer Safety
Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby
Cribs. The Commission proposes to
incorporate these ASTM standards by
reference with certain modifications to
strengthen them. The proposed
standards, as modified, would include
provisions in both the full-size and nonfull-size crib standards that address the
risk of crib slat disengagement the
Commission identified in the ANPR.
B. Withdrawal of the ANPR
The rulemaking that the Commission
is now initiating under section 104(b) of
the CPSIA proposes to establish new
requirements for full-size and non-full
size cribs that will include the
requirements of the Commission’s
existing regulations codified at 16 CFR
parts 1508 and 1509 and additional
requirements in the ASTM voluntary
standards. Because these new crib
standards will include performance
tests to address the risk of crib slat
disengagement, the Commission is
withdrawing the ANPR published
December 16, 1996, 61 FR 65997, and
terminating that rulemaking.

Full-Size and Non-Full Size Baby Cribs: Withdrawal of Advance
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'') is
terminating a proceeding for the possible amendment of the Commission's
standards for full-size cribs, codified at 16 CFR part 1508, and for
non-full-size cribs, codified at 16 CFR part 1509 which the Commission
began with publication of an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on
December 16, 1996, 61 FR 65997. On August 14, 2008, the Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'') was enacted. Section
104(b) of the CPSIA requires the Commission to promulgate consumer
product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products, which
are to be ``substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards
(or more stringent requirements if they would further reduce the risk
of injury associated with the product). Elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register, the Commission is proposing safety standards for
full-size and non-full-size baby cribs in response to section 104(b) of
the CPSIA. The crib standards the Commission is proposing include
provisions that address the risks of injury identified in the 1996
ANPR.
