Table Saw Blade Contact Injuries; Reopening of the Comment Period
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'' or ``we'') is considering whether a new performance safety standard is needed to address an unreasonable risk of injury associated with table saws. We are conducting this proceeding under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act (``CPSA''), 15 U.S.C. 2051-2084. In the Federal Register of October 11, 2011 (76 FR 62678), we published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (``ANPR''), inviting written comments concerning the risk of injury associated with table saw blade contact, regulatory alternatives, other possible means to address this risk, and other topics or issues. In response to a request from the Power Tool Institute, Inc. (``PTI''), on December 2, 2011, we granted a 60-day extension of the comment period until February 10, 2012 (76 FR 75504). PTI has requested an additional 30-day extension of the comment period and we are reopening the comment period for 30 days.\1\

Safety Standard for Infant Swings
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'') requires the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission,'' ``CPSC,'' ``we,'' or ``us'') 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 safety standard for infant swings in response to the direction under the CPSIA.
