Title: Bicycle Regulation Amendments 
Abstract: Section 102 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires third party testing for certain children's products. Bicycles would be tested in accordance with 16 CFR part 1512. On April 1, 2010, the Bicycle Product Suppliers Association (BPSA) petitioned the Commission for an extension of the stay of enforcement as it relates to 16 CFR part 1512, the CPSC safety regulations for bicycles. The BPSA contended that laboratory capacity was still inadequate. It also asserted that 16 CFR part 1512 is ''out of date in many respects,'' and urged the Commission to revise the regulation. In a letter dated June 4, 2010, the BPSA outlined specific requirements in 16 CFR part 1512 that are problematic for certification. The Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2010, in which the Commission proposed limited changes to 16 CFR part 1512 to facilitate the requisite testing and certification. Following the end of the comment period, staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration of a final rule.
