SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
A. Background 
In December 2006, the Commission 
issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to consider whether there may be an unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with portable generators (71 FR 74472 (December 12, 2006)). On November 21, 2016, the Commission published an NPR that would limit the CO emissions from operating generators. Specifically, the NPR would require that portable generators powered by handheld spark- ignition (SI) engines and Class I SI engines not exceed a weighted CO emission rate of 75 grams per hour (g/ hr); generators powered by one-cylinder, Class II SI engines must not exceed a weighted CO emission rate of 150 g/hr; and generators powered by Class II SI engines with two cylinders must not exceed a weighted emission rate of 300 g/hr. 81 FR 83556 (November 21, 2016). These requirements would be issued under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). The NPR is available at: https:// 
www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-11-21/ 
pdf/2016-26962.pdf. The staff’s briefing 
package is available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Proposed_Rule_ Safety_ Standard_ for_Portable_
Generators_ October_ 5_2016.pdf. 
B. The Public Meeting 
The CPSA requires that the 
Commission provide an opportunity for the ‘‘oral presentation of data, views, or arguments,’’ in addition to written comments, when the Commission develops a consumer product safety standard. 15 U.S.C. 2058(d)(2). Thus, the Commission is providing this forum for oral presentations concerning the proposed portable generator standard. See the information under the headings 
DATES and ADDRESSES at the beginning 
of this notice for information on making requests to give oral presentations at the meeting. Participants should limit their 
presentations to approximately 10 minutes, exclusive of any periods of questioning by the Commissioners or CPSC staff. To prevent duplicative presentations, groups will be directed to designate a spokesperson. The Commission reserves the right to limit the time further for any presentation and impose restrictions to avoid excessive duplication of presentations, if necessary.
