Abstract
In June 2018, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a consumer product safety standard for baby changing products under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The standard incorporated by reference the 2018 ASTM International (ASTM) voluntary standard for baby changing products that was in effect at the time. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard, when a voluntary standards organization revises the standard. Consistent with the CPSIA update process, this direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for baby changing products to incorporate by reference ASTM's 2021 version of the voluntary standard.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 1235
[Docket No. CPSC-2016-0023]
Safety Standard for Baby Changing Products
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In June 2018, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC or Commission) published a consumer product safety standard for
baby changing products under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The standard incorporated by reference
the 2018 ASTM International (ASTM) voluntary standard for baby changing
products that was in effect at the time. The CPSIA sets forth a process
for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products
that are based on a voluntary standard, when a voluntary standards
organization revises the standard. Consistent with the CPSIA update
process, this direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for baby
changing products to incorporate by reference ASTM's 2021 version of
the voluntary standard.
DATES: The rule is effective on July 31, 2022, unless CPSC receives a
significant adverse comment by May 26, 2022. If CPSC receives such a
comment, it will publish a notification in the Federal Register,
withdrawing this direct final rule before its effective date. The
incorporation by reference of the publication listed in this rule is
approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of July 31, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You can submit comments, identified by Docket No. CPSC-2016-
0023, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
1. Statutory Authority
Section 104(b)(1) of the CPSIA requires the Commission to assess
the effectiveness of voluntary standards for durable infant or toddler
products and adopt mandatory standards for those products. 15 U.S.C.
2056a(b)(1). The mandatory standard must be ``substantially the same
as'' the voluntary standard, or it may be ``more stringent than'' the
voluntary standard, if the Commission determines that more stringent
requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with
the product. Id.
Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA specifies the process for
updating the Commission's rules when a voluntary standards organization
revises a standard that the Commission incorporated by reference under
section 104(b)(1). First, the voluntary standards organization must
notify the Commission of the revision. Once the Commission receives
this notification, the Commission may reject or accept the revised
standard. The Commission may reject the revised standard by notifying
the voluntary standards organization, within 90 days of receiving
notice of the revision, that it has determined that the revised
standard does not improve the safety of the consumer product and that
it is retaining the existing standard. If the Commission does not take
this action to reject the revised standard, the revised voluntary
standard will be considered a consumer product safety standard issued
under section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058),
effective 180 days after the Commission received notification of the
revision or on a later date specified by the Commission in the Federal
Register. 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B).
2. Safety Standard for Baby Changing Products
Under section 104(b)(1) of the CPSIA, the Commission adopted a
mandatory rule for baby changing products, codified in 16 CFR part
1235. The rule incorporated by reference ASTM F2388-18, Standard
Consumer Safety Specification for Baby Changing Products for Domestic
Use, with no modifications. 83 FR 29672 (June 26, 2018). At the time
the Commission published the final rule, ASTM F2388-18 was the current
version of the voluntary standard.
On February 1, 2022, ASTM notified CPSC that it had revised the
voluntary standard for baby changing products, approving ASTM F2388-21
on November 15, 2021.\1\ As discussed below, based on CPSC staff's
review of
[[Page 24415]]
ASTM F2388-21,\2\ the Commission will allow the revised voluntary
standard to become the mandatory standard because the revised
requirements in the voluntary standard either improve the safety of
baby changing products, or are neutral with respect to safety.\3\
Accordingly, by operation of law under section 104(b)(4)(B) of the
CPSIA, ASTM F2388-21 will become the mandatory consumer product safety
standard for baby changing products on July 31, 2022. 15 U.S.C.
2056a(b)(4)(B). This direct final rule updates 16 CFR part 1235 to
incorporate by reference the revised voluntary standard, ASTM F2388-21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ ASTM published ASTM F2388-21 in January 2022.
\2\ CPSC staff's briefing memorandum regarding ASTM F2388-21 is
available at: <a href="https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/ASTMs-Revised-Safety-Standard-for-Baby-Changing-Products.pdf?VersionId=AzvKHXTe8uo1ZNrug1TLhQ_3kyp0lWhc">https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/ASTMs-Revised-Safety-Standard-for-Baby-Changing-Products.pdf?VersionId=AzvKHXTe8uo1ZNrug1TLhQ_3kyp0lWhc</a>.
\3\ The Commission voted 3-0-1 to approve this document. Chair
Hoehn-Saric, Commissioner Baiocco, and Commissioner Feldman voted to
approve this document. Commissioner Trumka abstained from the vote.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Revisions to ASTM F2388
The ASTM standard for baby changing products includes performance
requirements, test methods, and requirements for warning labels and
instructional literature, to address hazards to children associated
with baby changing products, including structural integrity, stability,
barriers, retention of contoured changing pads and add-on changing
units, entrapment, self-closing steps, and restraints. This section
describes the changes in ASTM F2388-21, as compared to ASTM F2388-18,
which is the current mandatory standard, and includes an assessment of
those changes. ASTM F2388-21 contains substantive revisions, as well as
editorial, non-substantive revisions.
1. Substantive Revisions
ASTM F238-21 includes two substantive changes. The first revision
is in Figure 9, Webbing Tension Pull Device, which is in section 7 of
the standard. Section 7 specifies test methods to address hazards
associated with baby changing products. Section 7.8 provides tests to
assess restraint systems, which include components of the baby changing
product that contribute to the capability to restrict upward or lateral
movement of an occupant's torso within the product. Part of the
restraint system test involves using a webbing tension pull device to
adjust the restraint before applying a specified pull force to the
restraint. Figure 9 depicts the webbing tension pull device that must
be used. In ASTM F2388-21, two notes have been added to Figure 9 to
provide the overall width and length dimensions for the tool, and a
metric equivalent dimension has been added for one of the dimensions
shown in the figure. CPSC staff considers these revisions neutral with
respect to the safety of baby changing products because they provide
dimension notes and equivalent metric measurements, which clarify how
to fabricate the test tool, but do not change the test tool or test
procedure. Moreover, the revisions are consistent with figures of
similar webbing tension devices used in other ASTM standards, such as
ASTM F833-21, Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for
Carriages and Strollers.
The second revision is in section 9.5 of the standard, which
provides warning statements that must be addressed on product labels
and requires that the warnings align with the format and text
requirements illustrated in the standard. The warning statements
provided in section 9.5.1 address fall hazards, including the hazard
statement, ``Fall Hazard,'' at the beginning of the warning statement.
In ASTM F2388-21, this hazard statement has been revised to be
capitalized as ``FALL HAZARD.'' Likewise, the warning statements
provided in section 9.5.3 address suffocation hazards, including the
hazard statement, ``Suffocation Hazard,'' at the beginning of the
warning statement. In ASTM F2388-21, this warning statement has also
been revised to be capitalized as ``SUFFOCATION HAZARD.'' CPSC staff
considers these revisions an improvement to the safety of baby changing
products because capitalization emphasizes the hazard statements and
makes them more conspicuous, thereby increasing the likelihood that a
caregiver will pay attention to the warning statements.
2. Non-Substantive Revisions
ASTM F2388-21 also includes minor revisions that are editorial and
do not alter any substantive requirements in the standard. These
changes are as follows:
<bullet> Footnote 1 has been revised to include ``baby changing
products,'' instead of ``changing tables,'' as part of the correct name
for the subcommittee that developed the standard and has been revised
to include the approval and publication dates of the revised standard.
<bullet> Figure 11, which provides examples of left-aligned warning
label text, has been renumbered as Figure X1.1 and relocated from
section 9, Marking and Labeling, to section X1, Rationale. This
revision has not changed the figure content or illustration. Although
section 9 is a mandatory portion of the standard and section X1 is not
mandatory, moving Figure 11 is a non-substantive change because the
figure merely provides examples of the mandatory message panel text
layout specified in section 9.4.6.1, and already was not mandatory.
<bullet> ASTM F2388-21 includes minor wording changes and
grammatical corrections, including changing ``example warning labels''
to ``example warning statements'' (section 9.4.7); changing the warning
label statement regarding fall hazards from ``stay within arms reach''
to ``stay in arm's reach of your child'' (section 9.5.1); and
correcting the title of updated Figure X1.1 from ``Example of Left
Aligned Text'' to ``Example of Left-aligned Text.''
<bullet> In section 9, Marking and Labeling, and section 10,
Instructional Literature, several figure names have been revised,
including changing ``sample label'' to ``example warning statements''
(revised Figures 11 through 15), and changing ``Sample Warning in
Instructions--for example, Changing Table'' to ``Example Warning
Statement in Instructions--e.g., Changing Table'' (updated Figure 16).
These revisions are consistent with wording that was already in the
standard, which describes these figures as ``examples'' (sections 9.4.7
and 10.4).
Because these revisions do not change any substantive requirements,
they are neutral with respect to the safety of baby changing products.
C. Incorporation by Reference
Section 1235.2 of the direct final rule incorporates by reference
ASTM F2388-21. The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) has regulations
regarding incorporation by reference. 1 CFR part 51. Under these
regulations, agencies must discuss, in the preamble to a final rule,
ways in which the material the agency incorporates by reference is
reasonably available to interested parties, and how interested parties
can obtain the material. In addition, the preamble to the final rule
must summarize the material. 1 CFR 51.5(b).
In accordance with the OFR regulations, section B. Revisions to
ASTM F2388 of this preamble summarizes the major provisions of ASTM
F2388-21 that the Commission here incorporates by reference into 16 CFR
part 1235. The standard is reasonably available to interested parties.
Until the direct final rule takes effect, a read-only copy of ASTM
F2388-21 is available for viewing, at no cost, on ASTM's website at:
<a href="https://www.astm.org/CPSC.htm">https://www.astm.org/CPSC.htm</a>. Once the rule
[[Page 24416]]
takes effect, a read-only copy of the standard will be available for
viewing, at no cost, on the ASTM website at: <a href="https://www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/">https://www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/</a>. Interested parties can also schedule an appointment to
inspect a copy of the standard at CPSC's Division of the Secretariat,
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Room 820, 4330 East West
Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, telephone: (301) 504-7479; email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ceadbebdade3a1bd8eadbebdade0a9a1b8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1d7e6d6e7e30726e5d7e6d6e7e337a726b">[email protected]</span></a>. Interested parties can purchase a copy of ASTM F2388-21
from ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West
Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959 USA; telephone: (610) 832-9585;
<a href="http://www.astm.org">www.astm.org</a>.
D. Certification
Section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C.
2051-2089) requires manufacturers of products subject to a consumer
product safety rule under the CPSA, or to a similar rule, ban,
standard, or regulation under any other act enforced by the Commission,
to certify that the products comply with all applicable CPSC
requirements. 15 U.S.C. 2063(a). Such certification must be based on a
test of each product, or on a reasonable testing program, or for
children's products, on tests of a sufficient number of samples by a
third party conformity assessment body accredited by CPSC to test
according to the applicable requirements. As noted, standards issued
under section 104(b)(1)(B) of the CPSIA, such as the present rule on
baby changing products, are ``consumer product safety standards.''
Thus, they are subject to the testing and certification requirements of
section 14 of the CPSA.
Because baby changing products are children's products, a CPSC-
accepted third party conformity assessment body must test samples of
the products. Products subject to part 1235 also must comply with all
other applicable CPSC requirements, such as the lead content
requirements in section 101 of the CPSIA,\4\ the phthalates
prohibitions in section 108 of the CPSIA \5\ and 16 CFR part 1307, the
tracking label requirements in section 14(a)(5) of the CPSA,\6\ and the
consumer registration form requirements in section 104(d) of the
CPSIA.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 1278a.
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 2057c.
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 2063(a)(5).
\7\ 15 U.S.C. 2056a(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. Notice of Requirements
In accordance with section 14(a)(3)(B)(iv) of the CPSIA, the
Commission previously published a notice of requirements (NOR) for
accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies for testing
baby changing products. 83 FR 29672 (June 26, 2018). The NOR provided
the criteria and process for CPSC to accept accreditation of third
party conformity assessment bodies for testing baby changing products
to 16 CFR part 1235. The NORs for all mandatory standards for durable
infant or toddler products are listed in the Commission's rule,
``Requirements Pertaining to Third Party Conformity Assessment
Bodies,'' codified in 16 CFR part 1112. Id.
ASTM F2388-21 includes revised requirements for baby changing
products. However, these revisions do not require additional equipment
or test protocols beyond those that already exist in the standard. The
revisions to the figure depicting the webbing tension pull device
clarify the test equipment dimensions, without changing the
specifications of the test tool or test method. The change to the
capitalization of warning text does not necessitate a change in the way
that third party conformity assessment bodies test products.
Accordingly, the revisions do not change the way that third party
conformity assessment bodies test these products for compliance with
the safety standard for baby changing products. Laboratories will begin
testing to the new standard when ASTM F2388-21 goes into effect, and
the existing accreditations that the Commission has accepted for
testing to this standard will cover testing to the revised standard.
Therefore, the Commission considers the existing CPSC-accepted
laboratories for testing to ASTM F2388-18 to be capable of testing to
ASTM F2388-21 as well. Accordingly, the existing NOR for this standard
will remain in place, and CPSC-accepted third party conformity
assessment bodies are expected to update the scope of the testing
laboratories' accreditations to reflect the revised standard in the
normal course of renewing their accreditations.
F. Direct Final Rule Process
The Commission is issuing this rule as a direct final rule.
Although the Administrative Procedure Act (APA; 5 U.S.C. 551-559)
generally requires agencies to provide notice of a rule and an
opportunity for interested parties to comment on it, section 553 of the
APA provides an exception when the agency, ``for good cause finds,''
that notice and comment are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.'' Id. 553(b)(B). The Commission concludes that
when it updates a reference to an ASTM standard that the Commission
incorporated by reference under section 104(b) of the CPSIA, notice and
comment are not necessary.
Specifically, under the process set out in section 104(b)(4)(B) of
the CPSIA, when ASTM revises a standard that the Commission has
previously incorporated by reference under section 104(b)(1)(B) of the
CPSIA, that revision will become the new CPSC standard, unless the
Commission determines that ASTM's revision does not improve the safety
of the product and so notifies ASTM. Thus, unless the Commission makes
such a determination, the ASTM revision becomes CPSC's standard by
operation of law. The Commission is allowing ASTM F2388-21 to become
CPSC's new standard because its provisions either improve product
safety or are neutral with respect to safety. The purpose of this
direct final rule is to update the reference in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) so that it reflects the version of the standard that
takes effect by statute. This rule updates the reference in the CFR,
but under the terms of the CPSIA, ASTM F2388-21 takes effect as the new
CPSC standard for baby changing products, even if the Commission does
not issue this rule. Thus, public comments would not alter substantive
changes to the standard or the effect of the revised standard as a
consumer product safety standard under section 104(b) of the CPSIA.
Under these circumstances, notice and comment are unnecessary.
In Recommendation 95-4, the Administrative Conference of the United
States (ACUS) endorses direct final rulemaking as an appropriate
procedure to expedite rules that are noncontroversial and that are not
expected to generate significant adverse comments. See 60 FR 43108
(Aug. 18, 1995). ACUS recommends that agencies use the direct final
rule process when they act under the ``unnecessary'' prong of the good
cause exemption in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Consistent with the ACUS
recommendation, the Commission is publishing this rule as a direct
final rule, because CPSC does not expect any significant adverse
comments.
Unless CPSC receives a significant adverse comment within 30 days
of this notification, the rule will become effective, by operation of
law, on July 31, 2022. In accordance with ACUS's recommendation, the
Commission considers a significant adverse comment to be ``one where
the commenter explains why the rule would be inappropriate,'' including
an assertion challenging ``the rule's underlying premise or approach,''
or a claim that
[[Page 24417]]
the rule ``would be ineffective or unacceptable without a change.'' 60
FR 43108, 43111 (Aug. 18, 1995). As noted, this rule merely updates a
reference in the CFR to reflect a change that occurs by statute, and
public comments should address this specific action.
If the Commission receives a significant adverse comment, the
Commission will withdraw this direct final rule. Depending on the
comment and other circumstances, the Commission may then incorporate
the adverse comment into a subsequent direct final rule or publish a
notice of proposed rulemaking, providing an opportunity for public
comment.
G. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA; 5 U.S.C. 601-612) generally
requires agencies to review proposed and final rules for their
potential economic impact on small entities, including small
businesses, and prepare regulatory flexibility analyses. 5 U.S.C. 603,
604. The RFA applies to any rule that is subject to notice and comment
procedures under section 553 of the APA. Id. As discussed in section F.
Direct Final Rule Process of this preamble, the Commission has
determined that notice and the opportunity to comment are unnecessary
for this rule. Therefore, the RFA does not apply. CPSC also notes the
limited nature of this document, which merely updates the incorporation
by reference to reflect the mandatory CPSC standard that takes effect
under section 104 of the CPSIA.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act
The current mandatory standard for baby changing products includes
requirements for marking, labeling, and instructional literature that
constitute a ``collection of information,'' as defined in the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521). The revised mandatory
standard does not alter these requirements. The Commission took the
steps required by the PRA for information collections when it adopted
16 CFR part 1235, including obtaining approval and a control number.
Because the information collection is unchanged, the revision does not
affect the information collection requirements or approval related to
the standard.
I. Environmental Considerations
The Commission's regulations provide a categorical exclusion for
the Commission's rules from any requirement to prepare an environmental
assessment or an environmental impact statement where they ``have
little or no potential for affecting the human environment.'' 16 CFR
1021.5(c)(2). This rule falls within the categorical exclusion, so no
environmental assessment or environmental impact statement is required.
J. Preemption
Section 26(a) of the CPSA provides that where a consumer product
safety standard is in effect and applies to a product, no state or
political subdivision of a state may either establish or continue in
effect a requirement dealing with the same risk of injury unless the
state requirement is identical to the federal standard. 15 U.S.C.
2075(a). Section 26(c) of the CPSA also provides that states or
political subdivisions of states may apply to CPSC for an exemption
from this preemption under certain circumstances. Section 104(b) of the
CPSIA deems rules issued under that provision ``consumer product safety
standards.'' Therefore, once a rule issued under section 104 of the
CPSIA takes effect, it will preempt in accordance with section 26(a) of
the CPSA.
K. Effective Date
Under the procedure set forth in section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA,
when a voluntary standards organization revises a standard that the
Commission adopted as a mandatory standard, the revision becomes the
CPSC standard within 180 days of notification to the Commission, unless
the Commission notifies the standards organization that it has
determined that the revision does not improve the safety of the
product, or the Commission sets a later date in the Federal Register.
15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). The Commission is taking neither of those
actions with respect to the standard for baby changing products.
Therefore, ASTM F2388-21 will take effect as the new mandatory standard
for baby changing products on July 31, 2022, 180 days after February 1,
2022, when the Commission received notice of the revision.
L. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act (CRA; 5 U.S.C. 801-808) states that
before a rule may take effect, the agency issuing the rule must submit
the rule, and certain related information, to each House of Congress
and the Comptroller General. 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1). The CRA submission
must indicate whether the rule is a ``major rule.'' The CRA states that
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs determines whether a
rule qualifies as a ``major rule.''
Pursuant to the CRA, this rule does not qualify as a ``major
rule,'' as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). To comply with the CRA, CPSC
will submit the required information to each House of Congress and the
Comptroller General.
