## Abstract

The Commission has a safety standard requiring that disposable and novelty lighters meet specified requirements for child-resistance. The rule defines disposable lighters, in part, as refillable lighters that use butane or similar fuels and have a Customs Value or ex-factory price below a threshold value (initially set at $2.00). The standard provides that the initial $2.00 value adjusts every 5 years for inflation as measured by the percentage change since June 1993 in the appropriate Wholesale Price Index for which cigarette lighters are a part, as published by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS") (now referred to as the Producer Price Index for Miscellaneous Fabricated Products). The adjustment is rounded to the nearest $0.25 increment. With this notice, the Commission adds to the rule a statement that the import value adjusted to $2.25 when the June 2003 Index was finalized by BLS in November 2003. This information was also conveyed to the public by a Commission press release issued January 5, 2004. This notice also makes a technical correction to change the term "Wholesale Price Index" to "Producer Price Index for Miscellaneous Fabricated Products."
