Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 160 / Thursday, August 19, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
The United States Consumer
Product Safety Commission (‘‘CPSC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) is correcting a final rule
that appeared in the Federal Register of
June 4, 2010 (75 FR 31691). The
document established a standard for
infant bath seats by incorporating by
reference ASTM F 1967–08a with
certain changes. The Commission is
correcting an error that left in an
introductory phrase in one provision
concerning the stability requirements
that should have been omitted from the
standard.
DATES: Effective on December 6, 2010.

and Field Operations, Consumer
Product Safety Commission, 4330 East

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission published in the Federal
Register of June 4, 2010 (75 FR 31691)
a final rule establishing a standard for
infant bath seats by incorporating by
reference ASTM F 1967–08. An
introductory phrase in the stability
performance requirements in the ASTM
standard should have been removed to
make the provision consistent with the
Commission’s definition of ‘‘bath seat.’’
The preamble to the final rule stated:
‘‘the final rule removes the beginning
phrase in section 6.1: ‘for bath seats
which provide support for an
occupant’s back and support for the
sides or front of the occupant or both.’
Given the definition of bath seat in the
final rule, this phrase is redundant, and
the final rule, therefore eliminates it.’’ 75
FR 31696. However, the text of the
standard did not remove the
introductory phrase. This notice
corrects that error by restating section
6.1 of ASTM F 1967–08a without the
introductory phrase, and adding at the
end the language the Commission is
adding to this section of the ASTM
standard.
■ In FR Doc. 2010–13073 appearing on
page 31691 in the Federal Register of
Friday, June 4, 2010, the following
correction is made:
SUMMARY:
§ 1215.2
[Corrected]
1. On page 31698, in the second
column, in § 1215.2 Requirements for
infant bath seats, paragraph (b)(2) is
corrected to read, ‘‘In addition to section
6.1 of ASTM F 1967–08a, comply with
the following:
(i) 6.1 Stability—* * * If any time
during the application of force, the seat
is no longer in the initial ‘intended use
position’ and is tilted at an angle of 12
degrees or more from its initial starting

position, it shall be considered a
failure.’’
Should be corrected to read, ‘‘Instead
of section 6.1 of ASTM F 1967–08a,
comply with the following:
(i) 6.1 Stability—The geometry and
construction of the product shall not
allow for any parts of the product to
become separated from it, shall not
sustain permanent damage, and shall
not allow the product to tip over after
being tested in accordance with 7.4. In
addition, if any attachment point
disengages from (is no longer in contact
with) the test platform and then fails to
return to its manufacturer’s intended
use position after being tested in
accordance with 7.4, it fails the
requirement. This test shall be
conducted after the Mechanisms
Durability test in 7.1.3. If any time
during the application of force, the seat
is no longer in the initial ‘intended use
position’ and is tilted at an angle of 12
degrees or more from its initial starting
position, it shall be considered a
failure.’’

BILLING CODE 6355–01–P
In the
Federal Register of June 21, 2010 (75 FR
35266), the Commission published a
final rule establishing a standard for
infant walkers pursuant to section
104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008. The final rule
contained two errors which the
Commission is now correcting.
The first correction pertains to
§ 1216.2(b)(11)(i) regarding the position
of the walker’s wheels during testing.
The first sentence in § 1216.2(b)(11)(i)
refers to ‘‘Plane B,’’ but the last sentence
in the same section refers, incorrectly, to
‘‘Plane A’’ (see 75 FR at 35275 (col. 3)
through 35276 (col. 2)). The
Commission is correcting the rule to
refer to ‘‘Plane B’’ in the last sentence.
Another provision, at
§ 1216.2(b)(21)(i), concerning a warning
statement for walkers with parking
brakes omitted a phrase indicating that
the warning is only required for walkers
that have parking brakes. The preamble
to the final rule correctly noted that the
warning is to apply if a walker has a
parking brake (see 75 FR at 35271). This
document makes the necessary
corrections.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In FR Doc. 2010–14323 appearing on
