and answer session at the end of each 

panel. Participants may choose from one 

of three panels in the morning session: 

‘‘F963 Toy Standards’’; ‘‘TestingMandatory Testing, Component Parts

If you would like to be a panel 

member for a specific session of the 

CPSC Safety Academy, you should 

register by September 4, 2012. (See the 

ADDRESSES portion of this document for 

the Web site link and instructions on 

where to register.) Panelists are asked to 

submit a brief (less than 200 word) 

abstract of your topic, area of expertise, 

and desired breakout panel. In the event 

that more panelists request a particular 

session than time will allow, the CPSC 

Safety Academy planning committee 

will select panelists based on 

considerations such as: the individual’s 

familiarity or expertise with the topic to 

be discussed; the practical utility of the 

information to be presented (such as a 

discussion of a specific topic or research 

area); the topic’s relevance to the 

identified theme and topic area; and the 

individual’s viewpoint or ability to 

represent certain interests (e.g., such as 

large manufacturers, small 

manufacturers, academic researchers, 

consumer organization). While every 

effort will be made to accommodate all 

persons who wish to be panelists, we 

expect to limit each panel session to no 

more than five panelists. Therefore, the 

final number of panelists may be 

limited. We recommend that 

individuals and organizations with 

common interests consolidate or 

coordinate their panel requests. To 

assist in making final panelist 

selections, the CPSC Safety Academy 

planning committee may request 

potential panelists to submit 

presentations in addition to the initial 

abstract. We will notify those who are 

selected as panelists by September 14, 

2012. 

If you wish to attend and participate 

in the CPSC Safety Academy, but do not 

wish specifically to be a panelist, you 

should also register by September 14, 

2012, and identify your affiliation and 

first and second choices for sessions 

each day. Every effort will be made to 

accommodate each person’s requested 

sessions; however, we may need to limit 

registration to meet capacity limits of 

our meeting rooms. If you are unable to 

attend the CPSC Safety Academy, you 

may view some panels via webcast, but 

you will not be able to interact with the 

panels and presenters. Only select 

panels will be webcast. You do not need 

to register for the webcast. The panels 

that are not webcast will be taped and 

made available for viewing on the CPSC 

Web site.
