In July 2019, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the availability of, and sought public comment on, a document related to CPSC's efforts to address carbon monoxide poisoning hazards from portable generators: NIST Technical Note 2048: Simulation and Analysis Plan to Evaluate the Impact of CO Mitigation Requirements for Portable Generators (NIST TN 2048). The CPSC is announcing the availability of ``Revisions to the Plan Documented in NIST Technical Note 2048: Simulation and Analysis Plan to Evaluate the Impact of CO Mitigation Requirements for Portable Generators,'' a memorandum documenting CPSC staff's revisions to the plan in NIST TN 2048, resulting from CPSC and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) staffs' review and analysis of public comments on the plan.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Section 610 Review of the Testing and Labeling Regulations Pertaining to Product Certification of Children's Products, Including Reliance on Component Part Testing
Document Number: 2020-16441
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2020-08-24
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is conducting a review of the regulations for third party testing and certification to demonstrate compliance with safety standards for children's products, under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). That section requires the CPSC to review within 10 years after their issuance regulations that have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The testing and component part regulations were promulgated in 2011. The CPSC seeks comment to determine whether, consistent with the CPSC's statutory obligations, these regulations should be maintained without change, or modified to minimize the significant impact of the rules on a substantial number of small entities.
