Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 through 6X; Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 7 through 14; Withdrawal of Proposed Revocation of Amendments

摘要

The Commission withdraws its proposed revocation of certain amendments to the standards for the flammability of children's sleepwear, sizes 0 through 6X and sizes 7 through 14. As directed by the fiscal year 1999 appropriations legislation for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and several independent agencies, including the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Commission previously proposed to revoke the sleepwear amendments. In accordance with the appropriations legislation, the Commission has considered all relevant comments and information and has determined not to revoke the amendments. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register the Commission is modifying the amendments to require that tight-fitting sleepwear bear a label and hangtag informing consumers that the garments should fit snugly. Also in this issue of the Federal Register the Commission corrects some misidentified references in the amendments. In that notice the Commission is also clarifying the definition of infant garments.
