CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 1239
[Docket No. CPSC-2019-0014]
Safety Standard for Gates and Enclosures
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In July 2020, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC or Commission) published a consumer product safety standard for
gates and enclosures under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The Commission's mandatory standard
incorporated by reference the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) voluntary standard that was in effect for gates and
enclosures at the time, with modifications to make the standard more
stringent, to further reduce the risk of injury associated with gates
and enclosures. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory
standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a
voluntary standard, when a voluntary standards organization revises the
standard. In June 2021, ASTM published a revised voluntary standard for
gates and enclosures, and it notified the Commission of this revised
standard in July 2021. This direct final rule updates the mandatory
standard for gates and enclosures to incorporate by reference ASTM's
2021 version of the voluntary standard for gates and enclosures.
DATES: The rule is effective on January 2, 2022, unless the Commission
receives a significant adverse comment by October 28, 2021. If the
Commission receives such a comment, it will publish a document in the
Federal Register withdrawing this direct final rule before its
effective date. The incorporation by reference of the publication
listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register
as of January 2, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Statutory Authority
Section 104(b)(1) of the CPSIA requires the Commission to assess
the effectiveness of voluntary standards for durable infant or toddler
products and adopt mandatory standards for these products. 15 U.S.C.
2056a(b)(1). The mandatory standard must be ``substantially the same
as'' the voluntary standard, or it may be ``more stringent than'' the
voluntary standard, if the Commission determines that more stringent
requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with
the product. Id.
Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA specifies the process for when a
voluntary standards organization revises a standard that the Commission
incorporated by reference under section 104(b)(1). First, the voluntary
standards organization must notify the Commission of the revision. Once
the Commission receives this notification, the Commission may reject or
accept the revised standard. The Commission may reject the revised
standard by notifying the voluntary standards organization that it has
determined that the revised standard does not improve the safety of the
consumer product and that it is retaining the existing standard. When
rejecting a revision, the Commission must notify the voluntary
standards organization of this determination within 90 days of
receiving notice of the revision. If the Commission does not take this
action to reject the revised standard, the revised voluntary standard
will be considered a consumer product safety standard issued under
section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058),
effective 180 days after the Commission received notification of the
revision (or a later date specified by the Commission in the Federal
Register). 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B).
B. Safety Standard for Gates and Enclosures
On July 6, 2020, under section 104 of the CPSIA, the Commission
published a final rule that incorporated by reference ASTM F1004-19,
Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Expansion Gates and
Expandable Enclosures, as the mandatory standard for gates and
enclosures, with modifications to the standard to further reduce the
risk of injury. 85 FR 40100. Modifications in the final rule included
the following
[[Page 53536]]
additional requirements, depending on the design of a pressure-mounted
gate, to further reduce the risk of injury associated with incorrectly
installed pressure-mounted gates:
(1) For pressure-mounted gates that include wall cups with the
product to meet the 30-pound push-out force test in the standard, the
gates must include a separate warning label in a conspicuous location
on the top rail of the gate regarding correct installation using wall
cups, or
(2) For pressure-mounted gates that do not use wall cups to meet
the 30- pound push-out force test in the standard, the gates must use
visual side-pressure indicators to provide consumers feedback as to
whether the gate is correctly installed.
Id. The final rule is codified at 16 CFR part 1239. The rule for gates
and enclosures applies to barriers ``intended to be erected in an
opening, such as a doorway, to prevent the passage of young children,
but which can be removed by older persons who are able to operate the
locking mechanism'' (ASTM F1004 sec. 3.1.7) and ``self-supporting
barrier[s] intended to completely surround an area or play-space within
which a young child may be confined'' (ASTM F1004 sec. 3.1.6).
On July 6, 2021, ASTM notified CPSC that it had published a revised
standard for gates and enclosures, ASTM F1004-21.\1\ The revised
voluntary standard was approved on May 15, 2021, and published in June
2021. In accordance with the procedures set out in section 104(b)(4)(B)
of the CPSIA, the Commission reviewed ASTM F1004-21 to determine
whether the revised voluntary standard improves the safety of gates and
enclosures and found that ASTM substantively revised the voluntary
standard to harmonize with the requirements of the current mandatory
standard for gates and enclosures. Based on CPSC's review of ASTM
F1004-21,\2\ the Commission will allow the revised voluntary standard
to become the mandatory standard for gates and enclosures without
modification, because the revised performance requirements in ASTM
F1004-21 are identical to 16 CFR part 1239, and thus, the revisions are
neutral when compared with 16 CFR part 1239. Accordingly, by operation
of law under section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, ASTM F1004-21 will
become the mandatory consumer product safety standard for gates and
enclosures on January 2, 2022.\3\ 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). This direct
final rule updates 16 CFR part 1239 to incorporate by reference the
revised voluntary standard, ASTM F1004-21, without modification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Until the standard becomes effective on January 2, 2022, a
read-only copy of ASTM's standard is available at: https://www.astm.org/CPSC.htm. After the effective date of the revised part
1239, ASTM F1004-21 becomes the mandatory standard for gates and
enclosures, and it will be available, to read only, at: https://www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/.
\2\ CPSC staff's briefing memorandum regarding ASTM F1004-21 is
available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/ASTMs-Revised-Safety-Standard-for-Gates-and-Enclosures.pdf?VersionId=PDxzSc9QGGUVWWsdoLv1iAAl19Fd6P6Y.
\3\ The statute provides that if the Commission does not take
action to reject a revised standard, the revised voluntary standard
will be considered a consumer product safety standard issued under
section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058),
effective 180 days after the Commission received notification of the
revision (or a later date specified by the Commission in the Federal
Register). 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). In this case, 180 days from the
July 6, 2021 notice date is January 2, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Description of ASTM F1004-21
The ASTM standard for gates and enclosures includes performance
requirements, test methods, and requirements for warning labels and
instructional literature, to address hazards to infants and children
associated with gates and enclosures. This is the first revision ASTM
has made to the voluntary standard since the Commission published the
final rule for gates and enclosures in July 2020, based on ASTM F1004-
19. The June 2021 revision to the voluntary standard, ASTM F1004-21,
includes editorial and substantive provisions.
ASTM made minor and editorial changes throughout ASTM F1004-21
including the following examples:
Hyphenating multiple terms used as adjectives, such as
``single-action,'' ``pressure-mounted,'' ``partially-bounded,'' and
``hold-open,'' throughout;
Correcting the spelling of ``guage'' to ``gauge'' in
section 3.1.16;
Adding conversions to Celsius in section 4.4;
Changing the capitalization of some terms, such as ``Small
Torso Probe'' to ``small torso probe''; and
Changing unit expressions to bring the standard into
accordance with ASTM Form and Style, such as adding a repeater unit
when expressing a range (e.g., ``2 in. x 2 in.'' instead of ``2 x 2
in.'').
These changes are neutral and do not affect the safety of gates and
enclosures.
ASTM also made three substantive revisions to the voluntary
standard in ASTM F1004-21 to harmonize with the current mandatory
standard for gates and enclosures codified in 16 CFR part 1239. The
revised voluntary standard adds the following requirements:
(1) A visual side-pressure indicator for pressure-mounted gates
that do not incorporate wall-cups.
To implement this change, ASTM:
(a) Added new definitions for ``side-pressure'' and ``visual side-
pressure indicators,'' which are identical to those in 16 CFR
1239.2(b)(2)(i) and (ii);
(b) Modified the directions for visual side-pressure indicators in
the test method in 7.9.1.2 to be substantially identical to 16 CFR
1239.2(b)(4)(i);
(c) Added a new section, 6.8, specifying requirements for visual
side-pressure indicators. This section is substantially identical to
the requirements in 16 CFR 1239.2(b)(3)(i) through (vi);
(d) Added section 9.5 with instructional requirements for gates
with visual side-pressure indicators, which is identical to the
instructional requirements for gates in 16 CFR 1239.2(b)(8)(i); and
(e) Added section X.1.2.5.4 to provide a rationale for the
inclusion of visual side-pressure indicators in the rationale section,
which is identical to 16 CFR 1239.2(b)(9)(i).
(2) A wall-cup warning located on the top of the gate, by adding a
new section 8.5.7, containing warning requirements for gates that use
wall-cups or other mounting hardware to meet the requirements of the
push-out test in section 6.3. Such gates must display the following
warning, separate from all other warnings, and located along the top
rail of the gate:
You MUST install [wall-cups] to keep gate in place. Without
[wall-cups], child can push out and escape.
This requirement is identical to the provisions in 16 CFR
1239.2(b)(7)(i) through (iv);
(3) Harmonization of the definition of ``conspicuous'' with 16 CFR
part 1239 and other ASTM standards, by modifying the definition of
``conspicuous'' to use the definition as 16 CFR 1239.2(b)(1)(i), and by
describing the adjective ``conspicuous,'' rather than defining an
adjective with a definition that describes a noun (i.e., a label).
Under CPSIA section 104(b)(4)(B), unless the Commission determines
that ASTM's revision to a voluntary standard that is referenced in a
mandatory standard ``does not improve the safety of the consumer
product covered by the standard,'' the revised voluntary standard
becomes the new mandatory standard. As described above, ASTM F1004-21
is substantially identical to 16 CFR part 1239. Accordingly, ASTM
[[Page 53537]]
F1004-21 is safety neutral when compared to 16 CFR part 1239. The
Commission will allow ASTM F1004-21 to become the mandatory standard
for gates and enclosures, and is updating 16 CFR part 1239 to reference
this most recent updated voluntary standard, without modification.
III. Incorporation by Reference
Section 1239.2 of the direct final rule incorporates by reference
ASTM F1004-21. The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) has regulations
regarding incorporation by reference. 1 CFR part 51. Under these
regulations, agencies must discuss, in the preamble to a final rule,
ways in which the material the agency incorporates by reference is
reasonably available to interested parties, and how interested parties
can obtain the material. In addition, the preamble to the final rule
must summarize the material. 1 CFR 51.5(b).
In accordance with the OFR regulations, section II. Description of
ASTM F1004-21 of this preamble summarizes the major and revised
provisions of ASTM F1004-21 that the Commission incorporates by
reference into 16 CFR part 1239.\4\ The standard is reasonably
available to interested parties in several ways. Interested parties can
purchase a copy of ASTM F1004-21 from ASTM International, 100 Barr
Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959 USA;
phone: 610-832-9585; www.astm.org. Additionally, until the direct final
rule takes effect, a read-only copy of ASTM F1004-21 is available for
viewing on ASTM's website at: https://www.astm.org/CPSC.htm. Once the
rule takes effect, a read-only copy of the standard will be available
for viewing on the ASTM website at: https://www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/. Interested parties can also schedule an appointment to
inspect a copy of the standard at CPSC's Division of the Secretariat,
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East-West Highway,
Bethesda, MD 20814, telephone: 301-504-7479; email: [email protected].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ A detailed description of ASTM F1004-19 and the
modifications made by the Commission in the final rule are also
available in the final rule for gates and enclosures at 85 FR at
40104-05.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Certification
Section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C.
2051-2089) requires manufacturers of products subject to a consumer
product safety rule under the CPSA, or to a similar rule, ban,
standard, or regulation under any other act enforced by the Commission,
to certify that the products comply with all applicable CPSC
requirements. 15 U.S.C. 2063(a). Such certification must be based on a
test of each product, or on a reasonable testing program, or, for
children's products, on tests of a sufficient number of samples by a
third party conformity assessment body accredited by CPSC to test
according to the applicable requirements. As noted, standards issued
under section 104(b)(1)(B) of the CPSIA are ``consumer product safety
standards.'' Thus, they are subject to the testing and certification
requirements of section 14 of the CPSA.
Because gates and enclosures are children's products, a CPSC-
accepted third party conformity assessment body must test samples of
the products for compliance with 16 CFR part 1239. Products subject to
part 1239 also must comply with all other applicable CPSC requirements,
such as the lead content requirements in section 101 of the CPSIA,\5\
the phthalates prohibitions in section 108 of the CPSIA \6\ and 16 CFR
part 1307, the tracking label requirements in section 14(a)(5) of the
CPSA,\7\ and the consumer registration form requirements in section
104(d) of the CPSIA.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 1278a.
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 2057c.
\7\ 15 U.S.C. 2063(a)(5).
\8\ 15 U.S.C. 2056a(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Notice of Requirements
In accordance with section 14(a)(3)(B)(iv) of the CPSIA, the
Commission previously published a notice of requirements (NOR) for
accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies (third party
labs) for testing gates and enclosures, and codified the requirement at
16 CFR 1112.15(b)(49). 85 FR at 40112. The NOR provided the criteria
and process for CPSC to accept accreditation of third party labs for
testing gates and enclosures to 16 CFR part 1239. Id. The Commission
codified NORs for all mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler
products in ``Requirements Pertaining to Third Party Conformity
Assessment Bodies,'' 16 CFR part 1112.
Because ASTM F1004-21 is substantially identical to the existing
mandatory standard for gates and enclosures, the Commission considers
third party labs that are currently CPSC-accepted for 16 CFR part 1239
to have demonstrated competence to test gates and enclosures to the
revised ASTM F1004-21, as incorporated into part 1239. Third party labs
have already begun testing to part 1239 when it became effective on
July 6, 2021. Accordingly, the existing accreditations that the
Commission has accepted for testing to this standard will cover testing
to the revised standard. The existing NOR for the Safety Standard for
Gates and Enclosures will remain in place, and CPSC-accepted third
party labs are expected to update the scope of the third party lab's
accreditations to reflect the revised gates and enclosure standard in
the normal course of renewing their accreditations.
VI. Direct Final Rule Process
The Commission is issuing this rule as a direct final rule.
Although the Administrative Procedure Act (APA; 5 U.S.C. 551-559)
generally requires agencies to provide notice of a rule and an
opportunity for interested parties to comment on it, section 553 of the
APA provides an exception when the agency, ``for good cause finds''
that notice and comment are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.'' Id. 553(b)(B). The Commission concludes that
when it updates a reference to an ASTM standard that the Commission
incorporated by reference under section 104(b) of the CPSIA, notice and
comment are not necessary.
Under the process set out in section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA,
when ASTM revises a standard that the Commission has previously
incorporated by reference under section 104(b)(1)(B) of the CPSIA, that
revision will become the new CPSC standard, unless the Commission
determines that ASTM's revision does not improve the safety of the
product. Thus, unless the Commission makes such a determination, the
ASTM revision becomes CPSC's standard by operation of law. The
Commission is allowing ASTM F1004-21 to become CPSC's new standard. The
purpose of this direct final rule is to update the reference in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) so that it reflects the version of
the standard that takes effect by statute. This rule updates the
reference in the CFR, but under the terms of the CPSIA, ASTM F1004-21
takes effect as the new CPSC standard for gates and enclosures, even if
the Commission does not issue this rule. Thus, public comments would
not alter substantive changes to the standard or the effect of the
revised standard as a consumer product safety rule under section 104(b)
of the CPSIA. Under these circumstances, notice and comment are
unnecessary.
In Recommendation 95-4, the Administrative Conference of the United
States (ACUS) endorses direct final rulemaking as an appropriate
procedure to expedite rules that are noncontroversial and that are not
expected to generate significant adverse
[[Page 53538]]
comments. See 60 FR 43108 (Aug. 18, 1995). ACUS recommends that
agencies use the direct final rule process when they act under the
``unnecessary'' prong of the good cause exemption in 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). Consistent with the ACUS recommendation, the Commission is
publishing this rule as a direct final rule, because CPSC does not
expect any significant adverse comments.
Unless CPSC receives a significant adverse comment within 30 days
of this notification, the rule will become effective on January 2,
2022. In accordance with ACUS's recommendation, the Commission
considers a significant adverse comment to be ``one where the commenter
explains why the rule would be inappropriate,'' including an assertion
challenging ``the rule's underlying premise or approach,'' or a claim
that the rule ``would be ineffective or unacceptable without change.''
60 FR 43108, 43111. As noted, this rule merely updates a reference in
the CFR to reflect a change that occurs by statute.
If the Commission receives a significant adverse comment, the
Commission will withdraw this direct final rule. Depending on the
comment and other circumstances, the Commission may then incorporate
the adverse comment into a subsequent direct final rule or publish a
notice of proposed rulemaking, providing an opportunity for public
comment.
VII. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA; 5 U.S.C. 601-612) generally
requires agencies to review proposed and final rules for their
potential economic impact on small entities, including small
businesses, and prepare regulatory flexibility analyses. 5 U.S.C. 603,
604. The RFA applies to any rule that is subject to notice and comment
procedures under section 553 of the APA. Id. As discussed in section
VI. Direct Final Rule Process of this preamble, the Commission has
determined that notice and the opportunity to comment are unnecessary
for this rule. Therefore, the RFA does not apply. The Commission also
notes the limited nature of this document, which merely updates the
incorporation by reference to reflect the mandatory CPSC standard that
takes effect under section 104 of the CPSIA.
VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The current mandatory standard for gates and enclosures includes
requirements for marking, labeling, and instructional literature that
constitute a ``collection of information,'' as defined in the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521). The revised mandatory
standard for gates and enclosures does not alter these requirements.
The Commission took the steps required by the PRA for information
collections when it adopted 16 CFR part 1239, including obtaining
approval and a control number. Because the information collection is
unchanged, the revision does not affect the information collection
requirements or approval related to the standard.
IX. Environmental Considerations
The Commission's regulations provide a categorical exclusion for
the Commission's rules from any requirement to prepare an environmental
assessment or an environmental impact statement where they ``have
little or no potential for affecting the human environment.'' 16 CFR
1021.5(c)(2). This rule falls within the categorical exclusion, so no
environmental assessment or environmental impact statement is required.
X. Preemption
Section 26(a) of the CPSA provides that where a consumer product
safety standard is in effect and applies to a product, no state or
political subdivision of a state may either establish or continue in
effect a requirement dealing with the same risk of injury unless the
state requirement is identical to the Federal standard. 15 U.S.C.
2075(a). Section 26(c) of the CPSA also provides that states or
political subdivisions of states may apply to CPSC for an exemption
from this preemption under certain circumstances. Section 104(b) of the
CPSIA deems rules issued under that provision ``consumer product safety
standards.'' Therefore, once a rule issued under section 104 of the
CPSIA takes effect, it will preempt in accordance with section 26(a) of
the CPSA.
XI. Effective Date
Under the procedure set forth in section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA,
when a voluntary standards organization revises a standard that the
Commission adopted as a mandatory standard, the revision becomes the
CPSC standard within 180 days of notification to the Commission, unless
the Commission determines that the revision does not improve the safety
of the product, or the Commission sets a later date in the Federal
Register. 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). The Commission is taking neither of
those actions with respect to the revised standard for gates and
enclosures. Therefore, ASTM F1004-21 automatically will take effect as
the new mandatory standard for gates and enclosures on January 2, 2022,
180 days after the Commission received notice of the revision on July
6, 2021. As a direct final rule, unless the Commission receives a
significant adverse comment within 30 days of this notification, the
rule will become effective on January 2, 2022.
XII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act (CRA; 5 U.S.C. 801-808) states that
before a rule may take effect, the agency issuing the rule must submit
the rule, and certain related information, to each House of Congress
and the Comptroller General. 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1). The CRA submission
must indicate whether the rule is a ``major rule.'' The CRA states that
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) determines
whether a rule qualifies as a ``major rule.''
Pursuant to the CRA, this rule does not qualify as a ``major
rule,'' as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). To comply with the CRA, CPSC
will submit the required information to each House of Congress and the
Comptroller General.
