Title: Fireworks Devices | |
Abstract:
Staff prepared a draft advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning fireworks devices, requesting comments on whether there is a need for the agency to update and strengthen its regulation of fireworks devices. Staff sent the ANPRM to the Commission for consideration on June 26, 2006. On June 30, 2006, the Commission voted to issue an ANPRM, which was issued on July 12, 2006. The comment period on the ANPRM closed on September 11, 2006. In June 2011, the Commission directed staff to review progress made since the issuance of the FY 2006 ANPRM regarding consumer fireworks regulations. In FY 2012, staff concentrated efforts on developing an updated test method to evaluate aerial firework break charge energy release, assess potential hazards to consumers associated with "adult snapper" fireworks, and propose appropriate solutions. In January 2013, October 2013, and February 2014, staff released status reports providing information regarding staff's fireworks research. In the FY 2015 Operating Plan, the Commission directed staff to conduct a rule review of the current fireworks regulations. Staff sent a briefing package to the Commission on December 30, 2015, responding to the Commission's request for a rule review. Staff sent a draft NPRM and briefing package to the Commission on December 14, 2016. The Commission held a briefing on the matter on January 11, 2017. On January 25, 2017, the Commission voted to issue the NPRM. The NPRM was published on February 2, 2017. The comment period on the NPRM closed on July 17, 2017. CPSC received more than 2,400 written comments. The Commission provided an opportunity for oral presentation of comments on March 7, 2018. Staff sent the final rule briefing package to the Commission on September 26, 2018. The Commission held a public briefing on the matter on October 3, 2018.The next expected action is the Commission's decision on the draft final rule. |
