  SUMMARY:  In December 2010, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or 
Commission) published a consumer product safety standard for non -full-size baby cribs (NFS cribs) 
pursuant to section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) . The 
Commission's mandatory standard incorporated by reference the ASTM voluntary standard that was 
in effect for NFS cribs at the time, with modifications to make the standard more stringent, to further 
reduce the risk of injury associated with NFS cribs, and to exclude sections of the ASTM voluntary 
standard inapplicable to NFS cribs. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory standards 
for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard, when a voluntary 
standards organization revises the standard. In November 2022, ASTM published a revised voluntary 
standard for NFS cribs, and it no tified the Commission of this revised standard in December 2022. 
This direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for NFS cribs to incorporate by reference 
ASTM's 2022 version of the voluntary standar d for NFS cribs (ASTM F406 -22). 
DATES: The rule is effective on 3 June 2023, unless the Commission receives a significant adverse 
comment by 5 April 2023. If the Commission receives such a comment, it will publish a document 
in the Federal Register, withdr awing this direct final rule before its effective date. The incorporation 
by reference of the publication listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register 
as of 3 June 2023.
