Safety Standard for Portable Bed Rails: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'') requires the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC,'' ``Commission,'' or ``we'') to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These standards are to be ``substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The Commission is proposing a more stringent safety standard for portable bed rails that will further reduce the risk of injury associated with these products.\1\
Portable Bed Rails: Withdrawal of Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission,'' ``CPSC,'' or ``we'') is terminating a proceeding initiated for portable bed rails under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (``FHSA''), which the Commission began with publication of an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (``ANPR'') on October 3, 2000, 65 FR 58968. On August 14, 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'') was enacted. Section 104(b) of the CPSIA requires the Commission to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products, which are to be ``substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards (or more stringent requirements if they would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are proposing a safety standard for portable bed rails in response to section 104(b) of the CPSIA. The proposed portable bed rail standard includes provisions that address the risks of injury identified in the ANPR.
