Title: Regulatory Options for Table Saws
Abstract: On July 11, 2006, the Commission voted 2-1 to grant a petition requesting that the Commission issue a rule prescribing performance standards for a system to reduce or prevent injuries from contacting the blade of a table saw. The Commission also directed the staff to prepare an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) initiating a rulemaking proceeding under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to identify the product and the risk of injury associated with table saw blade contact injuries, summarize regulatory alternatives, and invite comments from the public. A draft advance notice of proposed rulemaking will be prepared for Commission consideration.
