Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 242 / Thursday, December 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
PAH for new parts that will be installed
in articles for which a dual
airworthiness release is to be issued. In
order to serve European customers
many U.S. repair stations will be
required to possess parts documentation
that U.S. PAHs cannot currently issue
and which can only be obtained from
the FAA or its designees.
Although the FAA and EASA have
agreed to delay the implementation of
Change 5 to the MAG until March 29,
2016, correcting the effective date of
§ 21.137(o) will provide PAHs with the
ability to establish a system for the
issuance of authorized release
documents to meet EASA requirements
without increasing staff in the form of
Organization Designation Authority
(ODA) unit members or Designated
Manufacturing Inspection
Representatives (DMIRs), or incurring
the cost of hiring additional Designated
Airworthiness Representatives (DARs).
Additionally, correcting the effective
date of §§ 21.142, 21.147, and 45.11(c)
will alleviate the current need for PAHs
to request new exemptions or renew
current exemptions to manufacture and
install interface components and
appropriately mark wooden propellers.
The remaining sections of the final
rule become effective on March 29,
2016, its originally published effective
date.

Toys: Determination Regarding Heavy
Elements Limits for Unfinished and
Untreated Wood
U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Final rule.
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission (‘‘Commission,’’ or
‘‘CPSC’’) is issuing a final rule
determining that unfinished and
untreated trunk wood does not contain
heavy elements that would exceed the
limits specified in the Commission’s toy
standard, ASTM F963–11. Based on this
determination, unfinished and
untreated trunk wood in toys does not
require third party testing for the heavy
element limits in ASTM F963.
SUMMARY:
The rule is effective on January
19, 2016.

A. Background
1. Third Party Testing and Burden
Reduction
Section 14(a) of the Consumer
Product Safety Act, (‘‘CPSA’’), as
amended by the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act of 2008
(‘‘CPSIA’’), requires that manufacturers
of products subject to a consumer
product safety rule or similar rule, ban,
standard or regulation enforced by the
CPSC, must certify that the product
complies with all applicable CPSCenforced requirements. 15 U.S.C.
2063(a). For children’s products,
certification must be based on testing
conducted by a CPSC-accepted third
party conformity assessment body. Id.
Public Law 112–28 (August 12, 2011)
directed the CPSC to seek comment on
‘‘opportunities to reduce the cost of
third party testing requirements
consistent with assuring compliance
with any applicable consumer product
safety rule, ban, standard, or
regulation.’’ Public Law 112–28 also
authorized the Commission to issue new
or revised third party testing regulations
if the Commission determines ‘‘that
such regulations will reduce third party
testing costs consistent with assuring
compliance with the applicable
consumer product safety rules, bans,
standards, and regulations.’’ Id.
2063(d)(3)(B).
2. CPSC’s Toy Standard
Section 106 of the CPSIA states that
the provisions of ASTM International
(‘‘ASTM’’), Consumer Safety
Specifications for Toy Safety (‘‘ASTM
F963,’’ or ‘‘toy standard’’), ‘‘shall be
considered to be consumer product
safety standards issued by the
Commission under section 9 of the
CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2058).’’ 1 Thus, toys
subject to ASTM F963–11, the current
mandatory version of the standard, must
be tested by a CPSC-accepted third party
conformity assessment body and
demonstrate compliance with all
applicable CPSC requirements for the
manufacturer to issue a Children’s
Product Certificate (‘‘CPC’’) before the
toys can be entered into commerce.
The toy standard has numerous
requirements. Among them, section
4.3.5 requires that surface coating
materials and accessible substrates of
toys 2 that can be sucked, mouthed, or
1 ASTM F963–11 is a consumer product safety
standard, except for section 4.2 and Annex 4, or any
provision that restates or incorporates an existing
mandatory standard or ban promulgated by the
Commission or by statute.
2 ASTM F963–11 contains the following note
regarding the scope of the solubility requirement:
