SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission has received

correspondence from J.W. MacKay, Jr.

requesting that the Commission issue a

rule requiring that all non-wood

baseball bats perform like wood bats.

The Commission is docketing his

request as a petition under the

Consumer Product Safety Act. 15 U.S.C.

2056 and 2058. The petitioner asserts

that non-wood bats (primarily made of

aluminum and composite materials)

have become increasingly dangerous. He

states that such bats have a faster bat

swing speed, a larger ‘‘sweet spot,’’ and

lower balance point than wood bats.

These high performance bats, he asserts,

allow the ball to achieve a faster exit

velocity so that the pitcher does not

have time to react if a ball is batted at

him. For these reasons, the petitioner

argues, such non-wood bats present an

unreasonable risk of injury.

Interested parties may obtain a copy

of the petition by writing or calling the

Office of the Secretary, Consumer

Product Safety Commission,

Washington, DC 20207; telephone (301)

504–0800. Copies of the petition are also

available for inspection from 8:30 a.m.

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, in

the Commission’s Public Reading Room,

Room 419, 4330 East-West Highway,

Bethesda, Maryland.
