    (a) Exclusion of Certain Materials or Products and Inaccessible 
Component Parts.--Section 101(b) of the Consumer Product Safety 
Improvement Act of 2008 is amended by redesignating paragraph (5) as

            ``(5) Exception for all-terrain vehicles.--
                    ``(A) Determination by commission.--If the 
                Commission determines that it is not technologically 
                feasible for certain all-terrain vehicles to comply 
                with subsection (a) due to certain component parts that 
                are required for the safety or functionality of such 
                vehicles, the Commission, by regulation, shall exempt 
                such vehicles from the requirements of such subsection.
                    ``(B) All-terrain vehicles defined.--For purposes 
                of this section, the term `all-terrain vehicle' means 
                any motorized, off-highway vehicle designed to travel 
                on 2, 3, or 4 wheels, having a seat designed to be 
                straddled by the operator and handlebars for steering 
                control.''.
    (b) Additional Amendment.--Such section is further amended in
