The Commission published a request for comments on the petition in the Federal Register. On July 20, 2022, staff submitted a briefing package to the Commission. On July 26, 2022, the Commission voted to defer action on the petition to allow staff to conduct further research. Staff may participate in a newly created voluntary standard, and shall notify the Commission when doing so.  Staff submitted a further briefing package to the Commission on July 26, 2023.  The Commission granted the petition on August 1, 2023, directing staff to begin rulemaking. Staff will prepare and submit a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) package to the Commission in fiscal year 2024.
