Comment 3. ‘‘CPSC Must Be Careful

To Avoid Mischaracterization In Its IDIs

Regarding ATVs’’

Response. CPSC investigators are

trained to report the sequence of events

in ATV incidents, not just the

precipitating event. In each of the cases

cited by the commenters as examples of

mischaracterization, the investigator

correctly reported a collision. Any

overturn was reported as an action

subsequent to the collision. The

incidents are reflected in the database

accordingly. The CPSC staff is not aware

of any investigation being reported

solely as an overturn where it is

apparent that some other event

preceded the overturn.

Further, when these data are coded

for entering into the All-Terrain Vehicle

Death (ATVD) database, the first event

(such as a collision) is coded as the

primary hazard pattern, followed by any

subsequent events (such as rollover).

Discrepancies are often encountered

in various documents gathered during

an investigation. Investigators do their

best to resolve such discrepancies and

correctly note such information in the

investigation report.

Linda Nelson, Office of Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

The Helium Act (Pub. L. 86–777) (50

U.S.C. 167a, et seq.) and the Department

of the Interior’s implementing

regulations (30 CFR Parts 601 and 602)

require Federal agencies to procure all

major helium requirements from the

Bureau of Land Management,

Department of the Interior.

The FAR requires offerors responding

to contract solicitations to provide

information as to their forecast of

helium required for performance of the

contract. Such information will

facilitate enforcement of the

requirements of the Helium Act and the

contractual provisions requiring the use

of Government helium by agency

contractors, in that it will permit

corrective action to be taken if the

Bureau of Land Management, after

comparing helium sales data against

helium requirement forecasts, discovers

apparent serious discrepancies.

The information is used in

administration of certain Federal

contracts to ensure contractor

compliance with contract clauses.

Without the information, the required

use of Government helium cannot be

monitored and enforced effectively.
