table saws involved in the cases to generate national estimates by saw
type and estimated risk of injury associated with each table saw type;

guard; and (3) collect additional injury and incident data.
On April 27, 2017, the Commission held a decisional hearing on the
NPR. The Commission directed ``staff to analyze and seek public comment
on the Table Saw Study started in January 2017, based on the most
appropriate time period that will generate information to determine a
national estimate from NEISS incidents. Results will be published in
the Federal Register for notice and comment as part of the docket for
this rulemaking.''
