Regulatory Notices and Analyses
J–155 [Removed]
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore: (1) is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February
26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as
the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed rule, when promulgated, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 1240
[CPSC Docket No. CPSC–2023–0046]
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of
comment period.
AGENCY:
In October 2023, the
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) published in the Federal
Register a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) to address risks of
death and injury associated with infant
suffocations, falls, and other hazards
associated with infant and infant/
toddler rockers (rockers). On August 22,
2024, CPSC published a notice of
availability and request for comment
(NOA) to announce the availability of,
and to seek comment on, details about
incident data relevant to the NPR. The
NOA also sought comment on a
standard tessellation language (STL) file
for a firmness test fixture proposed in
the NPR, and an amended version of the
voluntary standard for rockers. The
NOA invited the public to submit
written comments during a 30-day
comment period, beginning on the NOA
publication date and ending on
September 23, 2024. In response to a
request for a 90-day extension of the
NOA comment period, the Commission
is reopening the comment period.
Comments are now due November 7,
2024.
SUMMARY:
The comment period for the
proposed rule published August 22,
2024, at 89 FR 67917, is reopened.
Submit comments by November 7, 2024.

A. Background
Pursuant to section 104 of the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (15 U.S.C. 2056a), the
Commission is required to promulgate
consumer product safety standards for
E:\FR\FM\02OCP1.SGM
02OCP1
80160
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2024 / Proposed Rules
durable infant or toddler products.
Under this statutory direction, the
Commission published an NPR, Safety
Standard for Infant and Infant/Toddler
Rockers, to establish a safety standard
for rockers to reduce the risk of death
and injury associated with these
products. 88 FR 73551 (Oct. 26, 2023).
The NPR proposes incorporating by
reference the 2022 version of the rockers
voluntary standard, ASTM F3084–22,
Standard Consumer Safety
Specification for Infant and Infant/
Toddler Rockers, with modifications to
make the standard more stringent, to
further reduce the risk of injury
associated with rockers.
On August 22, 2024, the Commission
published in the Federal Register an
additional request for comment and a
release of the underlying incident data,
titled Safety Standard for Infant and
Infant/Toddler Rockers; Supplemental
Information; Notice of Availability and
Request for Comment (NOA). The NOA
sought comment on three items: (1)
incorporation of the updated July 2024
version of the voluntary standard for
rockers—ASTM F3084–24; (2) incident
reports underlying the data discussed in
the NPR; and (3) an STL file of the
firmness test fixture proposed in the
NPR for gauging the firmness of a rocker
seat.
B. Request for Comment Period
Extension
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
On September 6, 2024, Lisa Trofe,
Executive Director of the Juvenile
Products Manufacturers Association
(JPMA), on behalf of JPMA’s members
and three companies that individually
co-signed the request, submitted a
request for a 90-day extension of the
NOA comment period (JPMA request).1 2
The JPMA request asserts that the 30day comment period is insufficient for
stakeholders to provide meaningful
feedback on the NOA and complete
dataset because when first available on
August 22, 2024, the STL file and
underlying data was only viewable and
not downloadable, and some documents
did not become available for review
until August 28.
C. Assessment of the JPMA Request
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
CPSC’s practice is to make available
the underlying incident data that it is
legally authorized to publicize.
Stakeholders are currently able to
review all underlying incident data that
supports the NPR and submit comments
on that data; therefore, there is no need
for stakeholders to download the
underlying incident data. The
Commission agrees, though, that
stakeholders may benefit from
additional time to review the complete
underlying incident dataset because
some of the data became reviewable on
August 28, 2024, rather than August 22
as intended. Further, CPSC agrees with
JPMA that the STL file is difficult to
evaluate without downloading it, and
that this file was not downloadable until
September 9, 2024.
An additional 90 days, totaling 4
months (30 days plus 90 days), is
unnecessary to assess the STL file and
incident data, and provide feedback.
However, CPSC is reopening the
comment period for an extension of 45
days from the closing date of September
23, 2024. This reopening provides
commenters not only additional time to
review incident data, but also, in the
assessment of CPSC’s technical staff,
ample time to manufacture, test, and
comment on the firmness test fixture
proposed in the NPR and described in
the STL file.
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau
D. Conclusion
The Commission has considered
JPMA’s request to reopen the comment
period and staff’s assessment of the
request. The comment period closed on
September 23, 2024. To provide
additional time for stakeholders to
comment on the NOA, the Commission
is reopening the comment period for an
additional 45-days until November 7,
2024.

Modernization of Permit Application
Requirements for Wine Premises
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau, Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
In this notice of proposed
rulemaking, the Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) proposes
deregulatory amendments to its
regulations to modernize and streamline
the application requirements for wine
premises. The proposed amendments
also relax some reporting requirements
associated with changes to the business
of proprietors of wine premises. The
proposed amendments are a result of
TTB’s evaluation of its permit and
registration application requirements
and consideration of relevant public
comments submitted to the Treasury
Department in response to its request for
recommendations concerning
regulations that can be eliminated,
modified, or streamlined to reduce
burdens. TTB believes the amendments
proposed in this document will
significantly reduce the time needed to
complete an application to establish and
operate wine premises.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before December 2, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may electronically
submit comments to TTB on this
proposal, and view copies of this
document, its supporting materials, and
any comments TTB receives on it within
