CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

16 CFR Part 1028


Protection of Human Subjects

AGENCY:  Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION:  Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment period.

SUMMARY:  On September 8, 2015, the federal departments and agencies 
subject to the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects 
(referred to as the ``Common Rule'') published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (``NPR'') amending the Common Rule. Separately, on September 
24, 2015, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or 
``Commission'') proposed to adopt the Common Rule NPR by amending the 
Commission's regulations. The comment period for the Common Rule NPR is 
being extended; therefore, CPSC is extending the comment period for its 
proposed rule, accordingly.

DATES: The comment period for the CPSC's NPR published on September 24, 
2015 (80 FR 57549), is extended by 30 days and thus will end on January 
6, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since the Common Rule NPR was published on 
September 8, 2015 (80 FR 53933), participating departments and agencies 
have received requests to extend the comment period to allow sufficient 
time for a full review of the proposed rule. Accordingly, the comment 
period for the Common Rule NPR published on September 8, 2015, has been 
extended and will end on January 6, 2016. Along with the other 
participating departments and agencies subject to the Common Rule, the 
CPSC provides notice that the comment period on the CPSC's NPR 
published on September 24, 2015 (80 FR 57549), has been extended to 
afford the public an additional opportunity to comment through the 
process set forth in the ADDRESSES section of this document.

    Dated: November 25, 2015.
