CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

16 CFR Ch. II

Regulatory Flexibility Act; Semiannual Regulatory Flexibility and 
Unified Agendas

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Publication of regulatory flexibility and unified agendas.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires each Federal 
agency to publish, twice each year, a regulatory flexibility agenda 
listing the rules expected to be proposed or promulgated which are 
likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities, including small businesses, small organizations, and 
small governmental units. In this document, the Commission publishes 
its semiannual regulatory flexibility agenda.

    Additionally, Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to 
publish an agenda of regulatory actions expected to be under 
development or review by the agency during the next year and 
provides that such an agenda may be combined with an agency's 
regulatory flexibility agenda published in accordance with the RFA.

DATES: The Commission welcomes comments on each subject area of the 
agenda, particularly from small entities. Written comments concerning 
the agenda should be received in the Office of the Secretary by 
December 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the regulatory flexibility agenda should be 
mailed to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety 
Commission, Washington, DC 20207, telephone (301) 504-0800, or 
delivered to the Office of the Secretary, Room 501, 4330 East-West 
Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Comments should be captioned 
``Regulatory Flexibility Agenda.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on the agenda 
in general, contact: Allen F. Brauninger, Office of the General 
Counsel, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207; 
telephone (301) 504-0980. For further information regarding a 
particular item on the agenda, consult the individual listed in the 
column headed ``Contact'' for that particular item.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 
U.S.C. 601-612) contains several provisions intended to reduce 
unnecessary and disproportionate regulatory requirements on small 
businesses, small governmental organizations, and other small entities. 
Section 602 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 602) requires each agency to publish, 
twice each year, a regulatory flexibility agenda containing a brief 
description of the subject area of any rule expected to be proposed or 
promulgated which is likely to have a ``significant economic impact'' 
on a ``substantial number'' of small entities. The agency must also 
provide a summary of the nature of the rule and a schedule for acting 
on each rule for which the agency has issued a notice of proposed 
rulemaking. The regulatory flexibility agenda shall also contain the 
name and address of the agency official knowledgeable about the items 
listed. Further, agencies are required to provide notice of their 
agendas to small entities and to solicit their comments by direct 
notification or by inclusion in publications likely to be obtained by 
such entities. Additionally, Executive Order 12866 requires each agency 
to publish, twice each year, a regulatory agenda of regulations under 
development or review during the next year and states that such an 
agenda may be combined with the agenda published in accordance with the 
RFA.

    The regulatory flexibility agenda published below lists the 
regulatory activities expected to be under development or review 
during the next 12 months. It includes all such activities, whether 
or not they may have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities.

    The agenda contains a brief description and summary of each 
regulatory activity, including the objectives and legal basis for 
each; an approximate schedule of target dates, subject to revision, 
for the development or completion of each activity; and the name 
and telephone number of a knowledgeable agency official concerning 
particular items on the agenda. All agency contacts have the same 
address: Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207.

CFR Citation:  16 CFR 1500

Abstract: On August 10, 1995, the Commission proposed to amend 
requirements for labeling of packages of charcoal intended for 
household use. Existing regulations require packages of charcoal 
intended for household use to be labeled with the following statement 
enclosed within a ruled border: ``WARNING: Do Not Use for Indoor 
Heating or Cooking Unless Ventilation is Provided for Exhausting Fumes 
to Outside. Toxic Fumes May Accumulate and Cause Death.'' The proposed 
amendment would change the labeling statement to: ``CARBON MONOXIDE 
HAZARD - Burning charcoal indoors can kill you. It gives off carbon 
monoxide, which has no odor. NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, 
vehicles, or tents.'' The proposed amendment also requires the label to 
include a warning symbol consisting of an exclamation mark enclosed 
within a triangle, the word ``WARNING'' and a pictogram showing the 
places where charcoal should not be burned. The Commission proposed 
this amendment to make the warning label more noticeable and more 
easily understood.

Legal Authority:  15 USC 1261 Federal Hazardous Substances Act; 15 USC 
1262 Federal Hazardous Substances Act

CFR Citation:  16 CFR 1500

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On August 2, 1994, the Commission published an advance notice 
of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin a proceeding which may result 
in the issuance of mandatory design or performance requirements for 
baby walkers. A baby walker is a device that supports a child so that 
the child can use his or her feet to move about before or while 
learning to walk. Typically, a baby walker consists of a fabric seat 
which has leg openings and is mounted to a rigid plastic deck. The deck 
is attached to a base which usually is mounted on wheels to allow 
mobility. In 1994, an estimated 25,500 children younger than 15 months 
of age were were treated in emergency rooms for injuries associated 
with baby walkers. The majority of these injuries resulted from falls 
down down stairs or steps. Among the regulatory options under 
consideration by the Commission are mandatory performance or design 
requirements to reduce the likelihood that a child will be able to 
maneuver a baby walker into a position where it can fall down stairs or 
steps. In November, 1995, the staff is scheduled to send a briefing 
package concerning baby walkers to the Commission.

Abstract: The flammability standards for children's sleepwear are 
applicable to children's sleepwear garments in sizes 0 through 14, and 
to fabrics intended for use in such garments. The standards were issued 
to eliminate or reduce unreasonable risks of deaths and burn injuries 
to children associated with ignition of sleepwear garments. On October 
25, 1994, the Commission published proposed amendments of the standards 
to exempt tight-fitting sleepwear garments and garments for infants 
from the requirements of the standards. On October 11, 1995, the staff 
sent a briefing package to the Commissioners of the agency which they 
will use in deciding whether to issue final amendments of the standard.

4434. MULTIPLE TUBE MINE AND SHELL FIREWORKS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  15 USC 1261 Federal Hazardous Substances Act; 15 USC 
1262 Federal Hazardous Substances Act

CFR Citation:  16 CFR 1500

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On July 1, 1994, the Commission published an advance notice 
of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin a proceeding which may lead to 
amendment of existing regulations applicable to multiple tube mine and 
shell fireworks devices. These products are comprised of several 
vertical tubes with a common fuse. Some have a horizontal base; others 
do not. Each tube is loaded with propellant and one or more shells or 
mines. When the fuse is ignited, the tubes fire sequentially, producing 
audible reports or a display of stars or other visual effects or both. 
The Commission has received reports of two deaths and two burn injuries 
involving multiple tube mine and shell fireworks devices which became 
unstable and tipped over after they were ignited. On July 5, 1995, the 
Commission proposed an amendment of regulations applicable to fireworks 
to establish a performance test for the stability of multiple tube mine 
and shell devices that have any tube with an inner diameter of 1.5 
inches or greater. The test requires that a fireworks device subject to 
the proposed amendment shall have a minimum tip angle of 60 degrees. In 
February, 1996, the staff is scheduled to transmit a briefing package 
to the Commissioners of the agency which they will use in deciding 
whether to issue the proposed amendment as a final rule.

4441.  RULE TO EXEMPT CERTAIN DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS 
CONTAINING IRON FROM REQUIREMENTS FOR CHILD-RESISTANT PACKAGING

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  5 USC 553(e) Administrative Procudure Act; 15 USC 
1471 Poison Prevention Packaging Act

CFR Citation:  16 CFR 1700.14(a)(13)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On April 7, 1995, the Commission proposed to amend 
regulations codified at 16 CFR 1700.14(a)(13) to exempt certain iron- 
containing dietary supplements from requirements for child- resistant 
packaging issued under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The 
products subject to the proposed exemption are those that have no more 
than the equivalent of 0.12 per cent elemental iron. The staff is 
preparing a briefing package for consideration by the Commissioners of 
the agency which they will use in deciding whether to issue the 
proposed amendment as a final rule.
