Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 107 / Monday, June 7, 2021 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES considered ‘‘major rules’’ under the Congressional Review Act (CRA).1 On August 24, 2020, the Commission published notice in the Federal Register (85 FR 52078) to announce that the CPSC would review the testing and component part testing regulations in accordance with the regulatory review provisions of section 610 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 610). The CPSC sought public comment on the rule review. This document announces the availability of the completed regulatory review under section 610 of the testing and component part testing regulations. The purpose of a rule review under section 610 of the RFA is to determine whether, consistent with the CPSC’s statutory obligations, these standards should be maintained without change, rescinded, or modified to minimize any significant impact of the rule on a substantial number of small entities. Section 610 requires agencies to consider five factors in reviewing rules to minimize any significant economic impact of the rule on a substantial number of small entities including: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) The nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public; (3) The complexity of the rule; (4) The extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (5) The length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. 5 U.S.C. 610(b). The CPSC received five written comments. The comments came from (1) a small business that sells handmade items; (2) a small business that sells wooden toys and gifts; (3) a small importer of European toys; (4) the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA); and (5) the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). Staff’s briefing package reviews all of the comments and provides staff’s analysis applying the factors listed in section 610 of the RFA to the testing and component part testing regulations. As explained in the 1 The CRA defines a ‘‘major rule’’ as one that has resulted in or is likely to result in (1) an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; (2) a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, federal, state, or local government agencies, or geographic regions; or (3) significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, or innovation, or on the ability of United States-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and export markets. 5 U.S.C. 804(2). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Jun 04, 2021 Jkt 253001 staff’s briefing package, CPSC staff concludes that the testing and component part testing regulations should be retained without any changes. The staff review is available on the CPSC’s website at: https:// www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/RegulatoryFlexibility-Act-Review-of-Testing-andLabeling-Regulations.pdf? rIp6oVfT143VJ29wBQgMbQ1c_ R2jq39w, www.regulations.gov, and from the Commission’s Division of the Secretariat at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
