TITLE: Revisions to Safety Standard for Infant Bouncer Seats  
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission  
ACTION: Direct final rule  
SUMMARY: In September 2017, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a 
consumer product safety standard for infant bouncer seats under section 104 of the Consumer 
Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The standard incorporated by reference the ASTM 
voluntary standard that was in effect for infant bouncer seats at the time, with modified requirements 
for warning labels. ASTM has since revised the voluntary stan dard for infant bouncer seats. The 
CPSIA provides a process for when a voluntary standards organization updates a standard that the 
Commission incorporated by reference in a section 104 rule. Consistent with that process, this direct 
final rule revises the  mandatory standard for infant bouncer seats to incorporate by reference the 
updated version of the ASTM standard.  
DATES: The rule is effective on 14 December 2019, unless CPSC receives a significant adverse 
comment by 7 October 2019. If CPSC receives such  a comment, it will publish a notice in the Federal 
Register, withdrawing 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 
14 December 2019.

ACTION : Règle finale  
RÉSUMÉ : Le document notifié parachève l'examen des risques résiduels et des technologies (RTR) 
réalisé pour les turbines à combustion stationnaires, une catégorie de source d'émissions 
réglementée au titre des normes nationales d'émission de polluants atmosphériques da ngereux 
(NESHAP) . En outre, l'EPA adopte une mesure finale visant à donner suite aux prescriptions 
pendant les temps de démarrage, d'arrêt et de dysfonctionnement et à ajouter des prescriptions 
en matière d'envoi électronique de rapports . L'EPA parachève s a proposition de détermination 
selon laquelle les risques liés à cette catégorie de source d'émissions de polluants atmosphériques 
sont acceptables et que la NESHAP existante offre une marge de sécurité suffisamment ample pour 
protéger la santé publique . L'EPA parachève aussi sa proposition de détermination selon laquelle, 
au cours du réexamen des technologies, elle n'a identifié aucun nouveau mécanisme de contrôle 
avec un bon rapport coût -efficacité qui permettrait de réduire davantage les émissions proven ant 
de cette catégorie de source.  
CALENDRIER : La règle finale entre en vigueur le 9 mars 2 020. L'incorporation par référence de
