SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 306(d) of the Government Performance 
and Results Act (GPRA) (5 U.S.C. 306(d)) requires the Commission to 
seek comments from interested parties as part of the process of 
revising the current CPSC strategic plan. The strategic plan is a GPRA 
requirement. The revised plan will provide an overall guide to the 
formulation of future agency actions and budget requests.
    The Office of Management and Budget requires all Federal agencies 
to submit their budget requests 13 months before the beginning of each 
fiscal year. The draft CPSC budget request for fiscal year 2009, which 
begins on October 1, 2008, is being formulated now by staff. The final 
budget request must reflect the contents of the agency's strategic plan 
developed under GPRA.
    The Commission staff desires to obtain the views of a wide range of 
interested persons including consumers; manufacturers, importers, 
distributors, and retailers of consumer products; members of the 
academic community; consumer advocates; and health and safety officers 
of state and local governments on both the fiscal year 2009 budget and 
potential revisions to the strategic plan.
    Written comments on the Commission's current strategic plan, and 
agenda and priorities for fiscal year 2009, should be received in the 
Office of the Secretary not later than July 20, 2007. Persons who 
desire a hard copy of the current strategic plan may contact the Office 
of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West 
Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, e-mail [email protected], telephone (301)
