Respondent.

Order Scheduling Prehearing Conference

    This proceeding commenced with the filing of a complaint on 
February 9, 2022. The complaint was published in the Federal Register 
on February 16, 2022. 87 FR 8,733, 8,804 (Feb. 16, 2022). An 
interagency agreement for the loan of my services to the Consumer 
Product Safety Commission was finalized on February 25, 2022. On March 
17, 2022, the Chair of the CPSC appointed me as the presiding officer 
for this proceeding.
    Under 16 CFR 1025.21, an initial prehearing conference shall be 
held within fifty days of the publication of the complaint in the 
Federal Register unless ``unusual circumstances would render it 
impractical or valueless'' to do so. Due to the timing of my 
appointment and the public notice requirement, holding a prehearing 
conference within fifty days of publication is impossible, and 
therefore impractical. A prehearing conference shall be held as 
follows:
    Date: Friday, April 22, 2022.
    Time: 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
    Means: Zoom [link provided to those listed in Distribution].
    Before the prehearing conference, the parties must confer and 
discuss the issues listed in 16 CFR 1025.21(a)(1) through (14). The 
parties should also discuss a plan for discovery and whether there are 
issues as to preservation, retrieval, review, disclosure, or production 
of discoverable information, including issues as to the disclosure or 
discovery of electronically stored information. The parties should have 
prepared for the conference, a summary of their discussion as well as 
proposed procedures and deadlines. The parties should also report 
whether they have discussed settlement and, if so, whether they believe 
settlement is possible or likely.
    The CPSC should arrange for a court reporter for the prehearing 
conference. I
