the column titled, ``Contact,'' for that particular item.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA; 5
U.S.C. 601-612) contains several provisions intended to reduce
unnecessary and disproportionate regulatory requirements on small
businesses, small governmental organizations, and other small entities.
Section 602 of the RFA requires each agency to publish, twice a year, a
regulatory flexibility agenda containing ``a brief description of the
subject area of any rule which the agency expects to propose or
promulgate which is likely to have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.'' 5 U.S.C. 602. The agency must
provide a summary of the nature of the rule, the objectives and legal
basis for the rule, and an approximate schedule for acting on each rule
for which the agency has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking. In
addition, the regulatory flexibility agenda must contain the name and
telephone number of an agency official who is knowledgeable about the
listed items. Agencies must attempt to provide notice of their agendas
to small entities and solicit their comments either by directly
notifying them, or by including the agenda in publications that small
entities are likely to obtain.
In addition, Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review
(Sep. 30, 1993), requires each agency to publish, twice a year, a
regulatory agenda of regulations under development or review during the
next year. 58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993). The Executive order states that
agencies may combine this agenda with the regulatory flexibility agenda
required under the RFA. The agenda required by Executive Order 12866
must include all of the regulations the agency expects to develop or
review during the next 12 months, regardless of whether they may have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This agenda also includes regulatory activities that the Commission
listed in the fall 2021 agenda and completed before publishing this
agenda.
The agenda contains a brief description and summary of each
regulatory activity, including the objectives and legal basis for each;
an approximate schedule of target dates, subject to revision, for
developing or completing each activity; and the name and telephone
number of an agency official who is knowledgeable about items in the
agenda.
The internet is the primary means for disseminating the Unified
Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at:
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>, in a format that allows users to obtain information
from the agenda database.
Because agencies must publish in the Federal Register the
regulatory flexibility agenda required by the RFA (5 U.S.C. 602), the
Commission's printed agenda entries include only:
(1) rules that are in the agency's regulatory flexibility agenda,
in accordance with the RFA, because they are likely to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities;
and
(2) rules that the agency has identified for periodic review under
section 610 of the RFA.
The entries in the Commission's printed agenda are limited to
fields that contain information that the RFA requires in an agenda.
Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified
Agenda published on the internet.
The agenda reflects the Commission's assessment of the likelihood
that the specified event will occur during the next year; the precise
dates for each rulemaking are uncertain. New information, changes of
circumstances, or changes in the law, may alter anticipated timing. In
addition, you should not infer from this agenda a final determination
by the Commission or its staff regarding the need for, or the substance
of, any rule or regulation.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION (CPSC)
Proposed Rule Stage
276. Portable Generators [3041-AC36]
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2051
Abstract: In 2006, the Commission issued an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) under the Consumer Product Safety Act
(CPSA) concerning portable generators. The ANPRM discussed regulatory
options that could reduce deaths and injuries related to portable
generators, particularly those involving carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning. In fiscal year 2006, staff awarded a contract to develop a
prototype generator engine with reduced CO in the exhaust. Also, in
fiscal year 2006, staff entered into an interagency agreement (IAG)
with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to
conduct tests with a generator, in both off-the-shelf and prototype
configurations, operating in the garage attached to NIST's test house.
In fiscal year 2009, staff entered into a second IAG with NIST with the
goal of developing CO emission performance requirements for a possible
proposed regulation that would be based on health effects criteria.
After additional staff and contractor work, the Commission issued a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in 2016, proposing a performance
standard that would limit the CO emission rates from operating portable
generators. In 2018, two voluntary standards adopted different CO-
mitigation requirements intended to address the CO poisoning hazard
associated with portable generators. Staff developed a simulation and
analysis plan to evaluate the effectiveness of those voluntary
standards' requirements. In 2019, the Commission sought public comments
on staff's plan. In August 2020, staff submitted to the Commission a
draft notice of availability of the modified plan, based on staff's
review and consideration of the comments, for evaluating the voluntary
standards; the Commission published the notice of availability in
August 2020. In February 2022, staff delivered a briefing package to
the Commission with the results of the effectiveness analysis and
information on the availability of compliant generators in the
marketplace. Staff concluded that the CO hazard-mitigation requirements
of one standard are more effective than the other, but conformance to
either standard is low. Staff intends to propose that the Fiscal Year
2023 Operating Plan include delivering a rulemaking briefing package on
portable generators to the Commission.

active injury mitigation (AIM) system to reduce or prevent injuries
from contacting the blade of a table saw. The Commission subsequently
issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would establish a
performance standard requiring table saws to limit the depth of cut to
3.5 millimeters when a test probe, acting as a surrogate for a human
body/finger, contacts the table

278. Furniture Tip Overs: Clothing Storage Units [3041-AD65]
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2056; 15 U.S.C. 2058; 15 U.S.C. 2076(e)
Abstract: Based on direction in the Fiscal Year 2016 Operating
Plan, staff submitted a briefing package to the Commission in September
2016, addressing furniture tip overs and focused, specifically, on
clothing storage unit (CSU) tip overs. CPSC is aware of fatal and
nonfatal incidents involving CSUs tipping over. The majority of
incidents involve children. In November 2017, the Commission issued an
advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), seeking comments and
initiating rulemaking under the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C.
2051-2089). In July 2021, staff submitted a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) briefing package to the Commission. On January 19,
2022, the Commission approved publication of an NPRM addressing CSU tip
overs. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February 3,
2022. The written comment period closes on April 19, 2022. On February
9, 2022, the Commission received a request to extend the written
comment period on the NPRM. On February 23, 2022, staff forwarded to
the Commission a draft notice to extend the written comment period. On
March 1, 2022, the Commission voted not to extend the written comment
period. On February 16, 2022, staff submitted to the Commission a draft
notice announcing the opportunity for interested parties to make oral
comments on the NPRM. On February 23, 2022, the Commission voted to
approve publication of the oral comment notice. The oral comment notice
was published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2022, announcing that
the Commission would hold the hearing on April 6, 2022. After reviewing
comments on the NPRM, staff will work on a final rule briefing package.

280. Recreational Off-Road Vehicles [3041-AC78]
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2056; 15 U.S.C. 2058
Abstract: The Commission is considering whether recreational off-
road vehicles (ROVs) present an unreasonable risk of injury that should
be regulated. Staff conducted testing and evaluation programs to
develop performance requirements addressing vehicle stability, vehicle
handling, and occupant protection. In 2014, the Commission issued a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposing standards addressing
vehicle stability, vehicle handling, and occupant protection. Congress
directed in fiscal year 2016, and reaffirmed in subsequent fiscal year
appropriations, that none of the amounts made available by the
Appropriations Bill may be used to finalize or implement the proposed
Safety Standard for Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles until after the
National Academy of Sciences completes a study to determine specific
information, as set forth in the Appropriations Bill. Staff ceased work
on a Final Rule briefing package and instead engaged the Recreational
Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) and Outdoor Power Equipment
Institute (OPEI) in the development of voluntary standards for ROVs.
Staff conducted dynamic and static tests on ROVs, shared test results
with ROHVA and OPEI, and participated in the development of revised
voluntary standards to address staff's concerns with vehicle stability,
vehicle handling, and occupant protection. The voluntary standards for
ROVs were revised and published in 2016 (ANSI/ROHVA 1-2016 and ANSI/
OPEI B71.9-2016). Staff assessed the new voluntary standard
requirements and prepared a termination of rulemaking briefing package
that was submitted to the Commission on November 22, 2016. The
Commission voted not to terminate the rulemaking associated with ROVs.
In the Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Plan, the Commission directed staff
to prepare a rulemaking termination briefing package. Staff submitted a
briefing package to the Commission on September 16, 2020 that
recommended termination of the rulemaking. On September 22, 2020, the
Commission voted 2-2 on this matter. A majority was not reached and no
action is being taken.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION (CPSC)
Completed Actions
281. Petition Requesting Ban for Supplemental Mattresses for Play Yards
With Non-Rigid Sides [3041-AD52]
Legal Authority: Pub. L. 110-314, sec. 104
Abstract: The Commission received a petition requesting that the
Commission initiate rulemaking under section 8 of
[[Page 48376]]
the CPSA to ban supplemental mattresses for play yards with non-rigid
sides, which are currently marketed to be used with non-full-size
cribs, play yards, portable cribs, and playpens. After obtaining
comments on the petition, the Commission voted to ``take other action''
on the petition, granting the petition but directing staff to initiate
a rulemaking under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act to promulgate a mandatory standard that will address
the risk of injury associated with the use of crib mattresses, as well
as supplemental and aftermarket mattresses used in play yards and
portable cribs. The Commission assessed the effectiveness of applicable
voluntary standards, and in accordance with the Administrative
Procedure Act, promulgated a consumer product safety standard that
incorporates the relevant voluntary standard, with additional
requirements to make the standard more stringent, to further reduce the
risk of injury associated with the product. The Commission issued a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for crib mattresses in October
2020, to address hazards associated with full-size crib mattresses,
non-full-size mattresses, and after-market mattresses for play yards
and non-full-size crib mattresses. Staff sent a final rule briefing
package to the Commission in September 2021. On December 1, 2021, staff
briefed the Commission on the final rule, and on January 26, 2022, the
Commission voted (4-0) to issue the final rule. The final rule requires
after-market mattresses for play yards to meet the same requirements as
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) play yard mattresses. Staff
continues to work with the voluntary standards committee on play yards,
to address hazards associated with OEM and after-market play yard
mattress fit and thickness.
