Consumer Product Safety Commission June 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') requests comments on a proposed extension of approval of a collection of information from persons who have been involved in, or have witnessed incidents associated with, consumer products. The Commission will consider all comments received in response to this notice before requesting an extension of approval of this collection of information from the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'').

In accordance with section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA''), also known as the Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'' or ``CPSC'') has published consumer product safety standards for numerous durable infant or toddler products, including a safety standard for carriages and strollers. The standard incorporated by reference the ASTM voluntary standard for carriages and strollers, with a modification. In August 2011, Congress enacted a public law, which sets forth a process for updating standards that the Commission has issued under the authority of section 104(b) of the CPSIA. In accordance with that process, we are publishing this direct final rule, revising the CPSC's standard for carriages and strollers to incorporate by reference a more recent version of the applicable ASTM standard.

It is the policy of the Commission to publish settlements which it provisionally accepts under the Consumer Product Safety Act in the Federal Register in accordance with the terms of the Consumer Product Safety Commission's regulations. Published below is a provisionally-accepted Settlement Agreement with Teavana Corporation containing a civil penalty in the amount of three million, seven hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars (US $3,750,000) within thirty (30) days of service of the Commission's final Order accepting the Settlement Agreement.
