identified in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System

table saws involved in the cases to generate national estimates by saw 
type and estimated risk of injury associated with each table saw type; 
(2) gain information regarding the type and usage pattern of the blade 
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.''
    CPSC staff has completed the report titled, Table Saw Blade-Contact
