Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices 81237 

affecting the product or the absence of 

a notice of requirements for the 

children’s product, the Commission has 

decided to continue the stay of 

enforcement for consumer products or 

children’s products listed below.’’ 74 FR 

at 68591. We noted that the stay on 

CPSIA testing and certification did not 

extend to compliance with the 

applicable mandatory safety 

requirements; thus, the stay did not 

extend to guarantees under the 

Flammable Fabrics Act. 74 FR at 68589, 

68591. The products identified in part 

II.D of the December 28, 2009 notice 

included: 

• Carpets and rugs (16 CFR parts 1630 and 

1631); 

• Vinyl plastic film (16 CFR part 1611); 

and 

• Wearing apparel (16 CFR part 1610). 

74 FR at 68591. The Commission also 

explained that: 

The Commission intends to require testing 

and certification of these products once it 

completes the rulemakings associated with 

the products, issues notices of requirements, 

or otherwise resolves the issues that have 

warranted a continuation of the stay of 

enforcement for the products. 

74 FR at 68591 through 68592. 

In July and August 2010, the 

Commission issued notices of 

requirements for these products. The 

notice of requirements pertaining to 

vinyl plastic film and carpets and rugs 

appeared in the Federal Register of July 

21, 2010. 75 FR 42311 (vinyl plastic 

film); 75 FR 42315 (carpets and rugs). 

The notice of requirements pertaining to 

clothing textiles (referred to as ‘‘wearing 

apparel’’ in the December 28, 2009 

notice) appeared in the Federal Register 

of August 18, 2010. 75 FR 51016. Each 

notice of requirements described the 

stay of enforcement and then declared 

that the publication of the notice of 

requirements had the effect of lifting the 

stay of enforcement. For example, in the 

notice of requirements pertaining to 

clothing textiles, the Commission stated: 

As the factor preventing the stay from 

being lifted in the December 28, 2009, notice 

with regard to testing and certifications of 

clothing textiles was the absence of a notice 

of requirements, publication of this notice 

has the effect of lifting the stay with regard 

to 16 CFR part 1610. 

75 FR at 51018. In relation to lifting the 

stay, each notice of requirements also 

described when manufacturers of 

children’s products subject to the 

respective regulations would be 

required to certify their products based 

on third party testing. 

Recently, various parties have 

contacted CPSC staff to ask whether the 

stay of enforcement had been lifted with 

respect to non-children’s products 

subject to the cited CPSC regulations 

pertaining to vinyl plastic film, carpets 

and rugs, and clothing textiles. 

Although some manufacturers 

interpreted the notices of requirements 

as lifting the stay of enforcement with 

respect to both non-children’s and 

children’s products, others interpreted 

the text as applying only to children’s 

products. Other parties informed CPSC 

staff that they did not consider reading 

the notices of requirements for 

information relevant to manufacturers 

because the notices of requirements 

provide the criteria and process for 

Commission acceptance of accreditation 

of third party laboratories for testing 

pursuant to CPSC regulations. 

Given the apparent confusion about 

whether the stay of enforcement for 

non-children’s products subject to the 

cited CPSC regulations pertaining to 

vinyl plastic film, carpets and rugs, and 

clothing textiles has been lifted, the 

Commission, through this notice, is 

announcing that the stay of enforcement 

pertaining to the certification under 

section 14(a)(1) of the CPSA for nonchildren’s products will be lifted as of 

January 26, 2011. Thus, after January 26, 

2011, every manufacturer of a nonchildren’s product (and the private 

labeler of such product if such product 

bears a private label) subject to CPSC 

regulations pertaining to: 

• Carpets and rugs (16 CFR parts 1630 

and 1631), 

• Vinyl plastic film (16 CFR part 

1611) or 

• Wearing apparel (16 CFR part 

1610), 

whose product is imported for 

consumption or warehousing or 

distributed in commerce, must issue a 

certificate for that product. (The term 

‘‘manufacturer’’ includes importers (see 

16 CFR part 1110).)
