Consumer Product Safety Commission April 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') requests comments on a proposed collection of information regarding a form that will be used to measure child care centers' compliance with the recent CPSC safety standards for full-size and non-full-size cribs. The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting approval of this collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'' or ``CPSC'' or ``we'') has received a petition requesting an exception from the 100 ppm lead content limit under section 101(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA''), as amended by Public Law 112-28. We are granting an exception to the 100 ppm lead content limit for certain aluminum alloy components of children's die- cast, ride-on pedal tractors, and similar component parts made of aluminum alloy on similar ride-on children's products for children ages 3 years and older. Such products may include other children's ride-on tractors, children's ride-on cars, and other ride-on toys. These aluminum alloy components must meet a lead content limit of 300 ppm.
