SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 22, 2026, the Commission published a

obsolete rules concerning infant bouncer seats and stationary activity 
centers because those products are subject to newer, more comprehensive 
mandatory safety standards issued by the Commission. 91 FR 45992. The 
Commission indicated in the direct final rule that if it received a 
significant adverse comment, the Commission would withdraw any portion 
of the direct final rule related to such a comment. The Commission 
received a significant adverse comment concerning the direct final rule 
and thus is withdrawing the direct final rule.\1\ The Commission will 
consider the significant adverse comment and assess the appropriate 
manner in which to proceed in this matter.
