3041-AD22 201210 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3041 Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC Amendment to Safety Standard for Play Yards On June 6, 2012, a draft final rule on play yards was submitted to the Commission. The draft final rule incorporated by reference ASTM F406-12a, "Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs/Play Yards." The draft final rule included one additional requirement not present in ASTM F406-12a. That requirement would have addressed the hazards associated with the use of play yard bassinet accessories that can be assembled with missing key structural elements. The bassinet misassembly requirement was created after we received a comment in response to the play yard NPR, which was published on September 20, 2011 (76 FR 58167). On June 27, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication in the Federal Register of the draft final rule to establish a safety standard for play yards, with changes. Specifically, the Commission voted to remove the bassinet misassembly requirement from the draft play yard final rule. The Commission directed staff to draft and publish an NPR seeking comment regarding an amendment to the play yard mandatory standard to include the bassinet misassembly requirement. The comment period ends on November 13, 2012. Following review of the comments, staff will prepare for Commission consideration a briefing package on a final rule.
