SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On July 20, 2011, the Commission 

voted to approve publication of a 

‘‘notice of requirements’’ that would 

establish the criteria and process for the 

CPSC’s acceptance of accreditation of 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies (commonly referred to as 

‘‘laboratories’’) for testing, pursuant to 

ASTM International’s (formerly the 

American Society for Testing and 

Materials) (‘‘ASTM’’) Standard 

Consumer Safety Specification for Toy 

Safety, F 963–08 (‘‘ASTM F 963–08’’), 

and section 4.27 (toy chests) from 

ASTM International’s F 963–07e1 

version of the standard (‘‘ASTM F 963– 

07e1’’). (For simplicity, we will refer to 

both standards as the ‘‘toy safety 

standard’’). 

The issuance of the ‘‘notice of 

requirements’’ by the Commission 

means that manufacturers of children’s 

toys must ensure that covered toys are 

tested for compliance with the toy safety 

standard by an accredited third party 

laboratory whose accreditation is 

accepted by the CPSC. The ‘‘notice of 

requirements’’ also means that based on 

the results of the third party testing, toy 

manufacturers must issue a written 

children’s product certificate that 

certifies the compliance of each covered 

toy to the toy safety standard. The 

Commission will enforce these third 

party testing and certification 

requirements beginning with those 

covered toys manufactured after 

December 31, 2011. 

Given the likely impact on those who 

manufacture or import toys that are 

covered by the toy safety standard, we 

believe that it is important to engage in 

a strategic outreach and education plan 

to the business community and other 

stakeholders. An effective outreach and 

education plan will target the affected 

group of stakeholders and give the small 

business community and other 

stakeholders clear and detailed 

information to enable them to plan and 

act accordingly and make more 

informed and timely business decisions. 

This notice describes our outreach 

and education plan. We intend to make 

information on our plan and on the toy 

safety standard available at: http:// 

www.cpsc.gov/toysafety by September 

30, 2011. 

We envision three stages for this 

strategic outreach and education plan: 

• Stage 1 will inform stakeholders 

generally about the need to test and 

certify to the toy safety standard. We 

plan to use traditional and social media 

to communicate the toy safety 

requirements and the effective 

compliance date of January 1, 2012. In 

addition, staff will target relevant trade 

publications, industry organizations, 

consumer groups, and others to ensure 

that the communications message is 

disseminated widely and to solicit 

additional outreach ideas and targets. 

The Small Business Ombudsman will 

publish a plain English guide on the 

requirements. Additionally, we hope 

that the publication of this document in 

the Federal Register may elicit 

additional suggestions and ideas. 

• Stage 2 will provide detailed 

‘‘Frequently Asked Questions’’ 

(‘‘FAQs’’) and examples so that 

stakeholders can better understand the 

requirements and staff’s interpretations 

of certain provisions before the 

requirements go into effect. We believe 

that issuing FAQs in a timely fashion 

will allow the small business 

community and other stakeholders to 

plan and act accordingly to make more 

informed and timely business decisions. 

Traditionally, we have used FAQs as a 

means of explaining new regulations 

and requirements; however, we are also 

exploring other means of illustrating the 

toy safety requirements, such as 

instructional videos and webinars. 

• Stage 3 will begin after we have 

developed the materials to educate 

stakeholders. We will target our ongoing 

education campaign efforts to promote 

higher rates of compliance with the toy 

standard and the testing and 

certification requirements. We will 

attend industry trade shows, as funding 

permits, and make presentations about 

the new requirements. In addition, we 

will attend international meetings, 

conferences, trade shows, and other 

public forums, as funding permits, 

where we will speak about the new 

requirements and serve as a resource for 

companies seeking additional 

information. Because many small 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Notices 55057 

businesses have modest or nonexistent 

travel budgets, we will also host 

webinars for identified target groups. 

All webinars will be free of charge and 

will be posted publicly on the CPSC 

website. 

Through this notice, we invite public 

comment on the following questions: 

1. What is the most effective way to 

identify stakeholders in the industry to 

whom we should direct our outreach 

efforts for the toy safety standard? 

Please identify ideas and specific 

stakeholders and their contact 

information, if known. 

2. What are the most useful and 

effective education and communication 

tools that we can use to communicate 

and explain the new requirements of the 

toy safety standard? 

3. What are the relevant trade groups 

and other organizations that can help 

communicate these new requirements to 

their members and others? Please 

identify individual groups and 

organizations and provide contact 

information, if known. 

4. What are the appropriate trade 

magazines and other publications 

targeted to toy manufacturers and 

others, including retailers, in the toy 

industry? We are interested particularly 

in medium- and small-size publications 

that target individual toy makers and 

crafters, such as those making wooden 

toys. Please identify publications and 

provide contact information, if known. 

5. What are the local, national, and 

international trades shows that target 

toy manufacturers and others in the toy 

industry? Please identify trade shows 

and dates and provide contact 

information, if known. 

6. What other stakeholders or groups 

should we target in our outreach and 

education efforts? Please identify and 

provide contact information, if known. 

7. What are other suggestions for 

successful implementation of the new 

requirements? 

Interested parties should submit 

comments to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, as described in 

the ADDRESSES portion of this 

document.
