Section 8e Import Inspection Fee
Structure
Agricultural Marketing Service,
USDA.
ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective
date.
AGENCY:
This document delays the
effective date of the December 30, 2024,
final rule revising the regulations
governing the inspection and
certification for fresh fruits, vegetables,
and other products by amending certain
fees charged for Section 8e import
inspections. These revisions recover, as
nearly as practicable, the costs of
performing inspection services on
imported commodities in accordance
with the Agricultural Marketing
Agreement Act of 1937.
DATES: As of January 29, 2025, the
effective date of the final rule amending
7 CFR part 51, published on December
30, 2024 (89 FR 106231), is delayed
until March 20, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

Review,’’ 1 this document temporarily
delays the effective date of the rule
titled, ‘‘Section 8e Import Inspection
Fee Structure,’’ which was published in
the Federal Register on December 30,
2024 (89 FR 106231). The rule revised
the regulations concerning fees charged
for Section 8e import inspections from
a per-carlot basis to a per-pound basis,
reducing the fee for each additional
sublot by 50 percent, and establishing a
new fee calculation for lots less than a
carlot. These revisions would enable
AMS to recover, as nearly as practicable,
the costs of performing inspection
services on imported fresh fruits,
vegetables, and other products in
accordance with the Agricultural
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937.
This action is exempt from notice and
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553 and is
applicable immediately upon
publication in the Federal Register,
based on the good cause exceptions in
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3),
respectively. Seeking public comment is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to the public interest. The
temporary delay in effective date is
necessary to give Department officials
the opportunity for further review and
consideration of new regulations,
consistent with the President’s
memorandum of January 20, 2025.
Given the imminence of the effective
date, seeking prior public comment on
this temporary delay would have been
impractical, as well as contrary to the
public interest in the orderly
promulgation and implementation of
regulations. The imminence of the
effective date is also good cause for
making this action effective
immediately upon publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

the effective date of the rule entitled
‘‘Multifamily Housing Program Update
to the Credit Report Process’’ published
in the Federal Register on December 31,
2024, at 89 FR 106977. That rule made
changes to 7 CFR part 3560 to require

borrowers to provide the credit
report(s). The final rule also includes
conforming changes to rescind 7 CFR

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 1221
[Docket No. CPSC–2011–0064]
Safety Standard for Play Yards
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
In August 2012, the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC or Commission) published a
consumer product safety standard for
play yards pursuant to section 104 of
the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The
Commission’s mandatory standard
incorporates by reference ASTM F406,
Standard Consumer Safety
Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby
Cribs/Play Yards, with modifications
that exclude sections of ASTM F406
that apply to non-full-size (NFS) cribs
exclusively. The CPSIA sets forth a
process for updating mandatory
standards for durable infant or toddler
products that are based on a voluntary
standard, when a voluntary standards
organization revises the standard. In
September 2024, ASTM published a
revised voluntary standard, and this
direct final rule updates the mandatory
standard for play yards to incorporate
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES

receives such a comment, it will publish
a notice in the Federal Register,
withdrawing this direct final rule before
its effective date. The incorporation by
reference of the publication listed in
this rule is approved by the Director of
the Federal Register as of April 5, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Statutory Authority and Background
A. Statutory Authority
Section 104(b) of the CPSIA requires
the Commission to assess the
effectiveness of voluntary standards for
durable infant or toddler products 1 and
adopt mandatory standards for these
products. 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(1).
Mandatory standards must be
‘‘substantially the same as’’ applicable
voluntary standards, or they may be
‘‘more stringent’’ than the voluntary
standards, if the Commission
determines that more stringent
requirements would further reduce the
risk of injury associated with the
products. Id. Accordingly, mandatory
standards may be based, in whole or in
part, on a voluntary standard.
Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA
specifies the process for when a
voluntary standards organization revises
a standard the Commission has
incorporated by reference under section
104(b)(1). 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). First,
the voluntary standards organization
must notify the Commission of the
revision. Once the Commission receives
this notification, the Commission may
reject or accept the revised standard. To
reject a revised standard, the
Commission must notify the voluntary
standards organization within 90 days
of receiving the notice of revision that
the Commission has determined that the
revised standard does not improve the
safety of the consumer product and that
CPSC is retaining the existing standard.
If the Commission does not take this
action, then the revised voluntary
standard will be considered a consumer
product safety standard issued under
section 9 of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2058),
effective 180 days after the Commission
received notification of the revision (or
a later date specified by the Commission
in the Federal Register). 15 U.S.C.
2056a(b)(4)(B).
B. Safety Standards for Play Yards
On August 29, 2012, under section
104 of the CPSIA, the Commission
published the first play yards rule that
incorporated by reference ASTM F406–
12a, Standard Consumer Safety
Specification for Non-Full-Size Cribs/
Play Yards, as the mandatory standard,
with modifications that exclude sections
1 Section 104(f)(2)(F) of the CPSIA lists play yards
as a durable infant or toddler product. 15 U.S.C.
2056a(f)(2)(F).
