Multi-Purpose Lighters; Request for Additional Comment

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') previously proposed a rule that would require multi- purpose lighters to resist operation by children under age 5. 63 FR 52397 (September 30, 1998); see also 63 FR at 52394; 63 FR 69030 (December 15, 1998). In that proposal, the degree of child resistance is measured by a test with a panel of children to see how many can operate a multi-purpose lighter that has its on/off switch in the off, or locked, position. In this notice, the Commission proposes that the child-panel tests instead be conducted with the on/off switch in the on, or unlocked, position. This will provide additional protection when the users of the lighters do not return the switch to the off position after use. The Commission solicits written and oral comments on this change. Comments must be limited to issues raised by the changed requirement in this document.

Revocation of Obsolete Rules Regarding Infant Bouncer Seats and Stationary Activity Centers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is reviewing its regulations to reduce regulatory burdens and costs. Pursuant to this review, CPSC has identified two rules concerning infant bouncer seats and stationary activity centers that are now obsolete because those products are subject to newer, more comprehensive mandatory safety standards issued by the Commission. This direct final rule removes the obsolete provisions to eliminate unnecessary duplication and improves regulatory clarity for manufacturers, testing laboratories, regulators, and the public. This action does not eliminate or reduce any mandatory federal safety standard applicable to infant bouncer seats or stationary activity centers. Both product categories will remain subject to the Commission's mandatory safety standards.
