<body>
<p>Based on direction in the Fiscal Year 2016 Operating Plan, staff submitted a briefing package to the Commission in September&nbsp;2016, addressing furniture tip overs and focused, specifically, on clothing storage unit (CSU) tip overs. CPSC is aware of fatal and nonfatal incidents involving CSUs tipping over.&nbsp;The majority of incidents involve children.&nbsp;In November&nbsp;2017, the Commission issued&nbsp;an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), seeking comments and initiating rulemaking under the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2051-2089). In July 2021, staff submitted &nbsp;a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) briefing package to the Commission. On January 19, 2022, the Commission approved publication of an NPRM addressing CSU tip overs. The NPRM was published in the <strong>Federal Register </strong> on February 3, 2022. The written comment period&nbsp;closes on April 19, 2022. On February 9, 2022, the Commission received a request to extend the written comment period on the NPRM. On February 23, 2022, staff forwarded to the Commission a draft notice to extend the written comment period. On March 1, 2022, the Commission voted not to extend the written comment period. On February 16, 2022, staff submitted to the Commission a draft notice announcing the opportunity for interested parties to make oral comments on the NPRM. On February 23, 2022, the Commission voted to approve publication of the oral comment notice. The oral comment notice was published in the <strong>Federal Register </strong> on March 1, 2022, and the Commission held the hearing on April 6, 2022. After reviewing comments on the NPRM, staff submitted a final rule briefing package to the Commission on September 28, 2022.</p>
