Civil Penalty Factors; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA''), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016, supersedes the proposed rule by amending the CPSA, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (``FHSA''), and the Flammable Fabrics Act (``FFA'') to require the Commission to consider additional factors and to issue a rule providing its interpretation of all statutory factors pertaining to civil penalties. Consequently, the Commission is withdrawing the July 12, 2006 proposed rule.
