        Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shall promulgate, 
        in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code,

    (c) ASTM Standard.--
            (1) In general.--Subsection (b)(1) shall not apply if the 
        Commission determines that a voluntary ASTM standard relating 
        to free-standing clothing storage units--
                    (A) adequately protects children from tip-over-
                related death or injury from free-standing clothing

        publish each determination made under paragraph (1) in the 
        Federal Register.
            (3) Treatment of astm standard for purposes of 
        enforcement.--If the Commission determines that a voluntary 
        ASTM standard meets all of the conditions described in 
        paragraph (1), the requirements of such ASTM standard shall be 
        treated as a consumer product safety rule promulgated under 
        section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058) 
        beginning 180 days after the date on which the Commission's

            (4) Revision of astm standard.--
                    (A) In general.--If ASTM International revises an 
                ASTM standard after the Commission makes a 
                determination under paragraph (1) with respect to such 
                standard, ASTM International shall notify the 
                Commission not later than 60 days after the final 
                version of such revised standard is published.
                    (B) Treatment of revised astm standard.--
                            (i) In general.--Except as provided in 
                        clause (ii), the requirements of the revised 
                        standard described in subparagraph (A) shall 
                        become enforceable as a rule promulgated under 
                        section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act 
                        (15 U.S.C. 2058), instead of the prior version 
                        of such standard, beginning on--
                                    (I) the date that is 180 days after 
                                the date on which ASTM International 
                                notifies the Commission of such 
                                revision; or
                                    (II) such later date as the 
                                Commission considers appropriate.
                            (ii) Nonconforming astm standards.--If the 
                        Commission determines, not later than 90 days 
                        after the date on which ASTM International 
                        notifies the Commission of a revised ASTM 
                        standard, that the requirements of the revised 
                        ASTM standard do not improve the safety of the 
                        consumer product covered by the standard with 
                        respect to the condition described in paragraph 
                        (1)(A), the Commission shall continue to 
                        enforce the prior version of such standard in 
                        accordance with paragraph (3).
    (d) Subsequent Rulemaking.--
            (1) In general.--At any time subsequent to the publication 
        of a consumer product safety standard under subsection (b)(1) 
        or a determination regarding an ASTM standard under subsection 
        (c)(1), the Commission may initiate a rulemaking, in accordance 
        with section 553 of title 5, United States Code--
                    (A) to modify the requirements of the consumer 
                product safety standard described in subsection (b)(1) 
                or (c)(1); or
                    (B) to include any additional provision in such 
                consumer product safety standard that the Commission 
                determines is reasonably necessary to protect public 
                health or safety.
            (2) Treatment of rules.--Any rule promulgated under 
        paragraph (1) shall be treated as a consumer product safety 
        rule promulgated under section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety 
        Act (15 U.S.C. 2058).
Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act or the STURDY Act  This bill requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to promulgate a final consumer product safety standard for free-standing clothing storage units (furniture items referred to as, or that may contain, a chest, door chest, chest of drawers, dresser, or bureau) to protect children from tip-over-related death or injury, unless the CPSC determines that a voluntary ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) International standard adequately protects children and is likely to be complied with by furniture manufacturers. If an ASTM standard meets the CPSC's requirements, the standard shall be treated as a consumer product safety rule.
