SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 212 of the Consumer Product Safety 
Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-314) (``CPSIA'') requires the 
Commission to establish and maintain a product safety information 
database that is available to the public. Specifically, section 212 of 
the CPSIA amended the Consumer Product Safety Act (``CPSA'') to create 
a new section 6A of the CPSA, titled ``Publicly Available Consumer 
Product Safety Information Database'' (``Database''). Section 6A(a)(1) 
of the CPSA requires the Commission to establish and maintain a 
database on the safety of consumer products, and other products or 
substances regulated by the Commission. The Database must be publicly 
available, searchable, and accessible through the Commission's Web 
site.
    In the Federal Register of December 9, 2010 (75 FR 76832), we 
published a final rule to establish the Database. The final rule will 
become effective on January 10, 2011.
    Through this notice, we are announcing that we will conduct two Web 
conferences to demonstrate certain aspects of the Database. The first 
Web conference, which will be held on January 11, 2011, will focus on 
the incident form that the public will use to file a report of harm and 
the search function of the Database. The Web conference is intended to 
inform all interested stakeholders of the information required on the 
form to be used to report an incident, in addition to an explanation of 
the public search function of the Database.
    The second Web conference, which will be held on January 20, 2011, 
will focus on the industry registration and comment features, the 
process for reporting incidents, and the public search component of the 
Database.
    Persons interested in viewing either Web conference or attending a 
webcast in person should register in advance as explained in the 
ADDRESSES section of this notice. The CPSC Web link at http://www.cpsc.gov/meetingsignup.html has more information about the 
demonstrations.

    Dated: January 3, 2011.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
