SUMMARY: The Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act (CGBPA or the Act)  mandated, as a

  and 2017, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)  allowed those revisions to 
become mandatory pursuant to the Act. On 1 September 2022, the Commission received notice that 
ASTM F2517 has been revised again. In this direct final rule, the Commission evaluates the revised 
ASTM F2517 -22e1 standard  and finds that the re visions carry out the purposes of the CGBPA. 
Accordingly, pursuant to the Act, the 2022 revisions to the child -resistance requirements of ASTM 
F2517 will be incorporated into the mandatory standard for closures on portable gasoline containers. 
This direct final rule updates the Commission's regulation to reflect that the requirements for 
closures on portable gasoline containers must meet the requirements in ASTM F2517 -22e1.  
DATES: The rule is effective on 22 December 2022, unless CPSC receives a significant  adverse 
comment by 7 December 2022. 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 incorporati on by 
reference of the publication listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as 
of 22 December 2022.  
This direct final rule and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/979  are identified
