Abstract
The Consumer Product Safety Commission ("Commission" or "CPSC") published a direct final rule ("DFR") and notice of proposed rulemaking ("NPR") in the same issue of the Federal Register on October 14, 2015, clarifying when component part testing can be used and clarifying which textile products have been determined not to exceed the allowable lead content limits. Because the comment period deadline for the DFR was stated incorrectly on regulations.gov, the Commission is reopening the comment period to accept comments submitted by January 13, 2016, and is delaying the effective date of the DFR to February 12, 2016.
