Title: Amendment to Regulation on Information Disclosure Under Section 6(b) of the CPSC 
Abstract:

In 1983, the Commission issued a regulation interpreting the provisions of section 6(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). In accordance with the Commission’s Fiscal Year 2013 Midyear Review and Operating Plan Adjustments, on January 14, 2014, staff submitted to the Commission a briefing package recommending that the Commission issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). On February 12, 2014, the Commission voted to publish the NPRM, as amended by the Commission. On February 26, 2014, the Commission published the NPRM in the Federal Register. 79 FR 10712. The NPRM proposed to modernize the regulation to account for the significant improvements in information technology that have occurred since the regulation’s adoption. The NPRM also proposed to streamline the regulation to be more closely aligned with section 6(b). On February 8, 2023, the Commission voted to publish a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM). The SNPRM responded to public comments on the 2014 NPRM and proposed additional changes to the regulation to further modernize and align the regulation with the statute. On February 17, 2023, the Commission published the SNPRM in the Federal Register. 88 FR 10432. Staff is reviewing comments and drafting a final rule for submission to the Commission.
