Title: Mandatory Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters | |
Abstract: In November 2001, a petition from the Lighter Association, Inc. requested that the Commission issue a rule to adopt an ASTM International voluntary safety standard for cigarette lighters. In November 2004, the Commission voted to grant the petition and initiate a rulemaking proceeding. An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published in April 2005 and the comment period closed on June 10, 2005. Staff completed monitoring conformance of lighters with the voluntary standard, and sent a status report to the Commission for consideration in October 2006. On January 23, 2008, staff provided a review of applicable law, decision factors, and pertinent information to assist the Commission in considering whether to formally rely upon the voluntary standard for cigarette lighters. The Commission did not agree on this approach. | |
