        <RULE_TITLE>Possible Revocation or Amendment of Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Cigarette Ignition)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal Register on June 23, 2005, requesting comments on a rulemaking proceeding that could result in revoking or amending its existing flammability standard that includes a test for cigarette ignition of mattresses and mattress pads  (16 CFR part 1632).  On January 13, 2005, the Commission issued a proposed flammability standard for mattresses and mattress and foundation sets that prescribes an open flame ignition test.  Some commenters to that rulemaking stated that they believe that once the new mattress standard is in effect the cigarette ignition test currently required in 16 CFR 1632 will not be necessary and conducting both tests will be burdensome for industry.  The Commission issued this ANPRM to begin consideration of whether the existing mattress standard should be revoked or amended.  A research project examining the criteria for self-sustained smoldering began in late 2006 and is ongoing.  The results from this research project will help staff respond to issues raised in the public comments.]]></ABSTRACT>
