SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 212 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 
(CPSIA) added section 6A to the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), 
which requires the CPSC to establish and maintain a publicly available, 
searchable database on the safety of consumer products and other 
products or substances regulated by the CPSC. 15 U.S.C. 2055a(a). The 
CPSIA includes specific content, procedural, and search requirements 
for the database. Id. at 2055a(b) and (c). In 2010, the Commission 
issued regulations regarding the database in 16 CFR part 1102, and in 
2011, Congress added additional requirements to the database 
provisions, which were adopted in part 1102. 75 FR 76832 (Dec. 9, 
2010); Sec. 7, Public Law 112-28, 125 Stat. 273 (amending 15 U.S.C. 
2055a(c)).
    To comply with these requirements, CPSC created the website, 
www.SaferProducts.gov. The website allows consumers and others to 
submit reports of harm relating to the use of consumer products, and 
other products or substances the Commission regulates; allows 
businesses to comment on such reports; and allows users to search the 
database for product recalls and reports of harm that are published on 
www.SaferProducts.gov. On March 6, 2019, the CPSC held a public hearing 
to receive information from interested parties about possible changes 
to the database to improve the website's usefulness and ease of use. 
Based, in part, on input from the public hearing, the CPSC will hold a 
public webinar to show the changes to the website that are in 
development. These changes seek to improve usability and navigability 
on the website; make the website more mobile friendly with other 
devices, including smartphones and tablets; and improve cross-browser 
compatibility. Participants who register for the webinar will have an 
opportunity to see these changes and provide feedback to the CPSC 
through a moderated discussion.

II. The Webinar

A. Topics for Discussion

    The Commission would like to hear from webinar participants on the 
utility, usability, and function of the improvements to the 
www.saferproducts.gov website presented during the webinar. The goal of 
the webinar is to hear from the public its views on these changes and 
the impact the changes will have on the website's utility and 
usability, among other issues.

B. How To Attend and/or Provide Comments
