CPSC Docket No. 21-2
September 24, 2021
Order Scheduling Prehearing Conference
This proceeding commenced with the filing of a complaint on July
14, 2021. The complaint was published in the Federal Register on July
21, 2021. 86 FR 38,450. On August 23, 2021, the Acting Chairman of the
Consumer Product Safety Commission appointed me as the presiding
officer for this proceeding. An interagency agreement for the loan of
my services to the CPSC was finalized on September 22, 2021.
Under 16 CFR 1025.21, an initial prehearing conference shall be
held within fifty days of the publication of the complaint in the
Federal Register unless ``unusual circumstances would render it
impractical or valueless'' to do so. Due to the timing of my
appointment and the interagency agreement, holding a prehearing
conference within fifty days of publication is impossible, and
therefore impractical. A prehearing conference shall be held as
follows:
Date: Friday, October 15, 2021
Time: 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Means: Video teleconference
Before the prehearing conference, the parties must confer and
discuss the issues listed in 16 CFR 1025.21(a)(1) through (14). The
parties should also discuss a plan for discovery and whether there are
issues as to preservation, retrieval, review, disclosure, or production
of discoverable information, including issues as to the disclosure or
discovery of electronically stored information. The parties must submit
by October 12, 2021, a joint letter summarizing the result of their
discussion and proposing the procedures for resolving this proceeding,
including proposed deadlines. If the parties are unable to reach
agreement about proposed procedures and deadlines, their letter should
describe their disagreements. The parties should also report whether
they have discussed settlement and, if so, whether they believe
settlement is possible or likely.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission should arrange for a court
reporter for the prehearing conference. I direct that notice of this
conference be published in the Federal Register. 16 CFR 1025.21(b).
