SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are 

motorized vehicles, designed for offroad use, with three or four broad, lowpressure tires (less than 10 pounds per 

square inch), a seat designed to be 

straddled by the operator, and 

handlebars for steering. Since the 1980s, 

the CPSC has been involved with ATV 

safety through various means, including 

rulemaking, recalls, and litigation. 

Currently, ATVs are required to meet 

the Commission’s ATV safety standard 

at 16 CFR part 1420, and comply with 

manufacturer and distributor action 

plans that require numerous additional 

safety measures. However, a number of 

ATV issues remain. For example, there 

are several issues from our 2006 NPR 

that differ from the requirements of 16 

CFR part 1420 and the action plans. In 

addition, aspects of safety that are 

related to the behavior of ATV 

operators, such as use restrictions 

governing issues such as helmet use, 

riding on pavement, licensing of drivers, 

and age restrictions are generally a 

matter left to the states. Finally, some 

avenues toward improved ATV safety 

require additional research that is 

beyond the Commission’s current 

budget and resources. 

CPSC staff is looking toward the 

future and envisions a two-pronged 

approach to improving ATV safety: 

Regulation and stakeholder engagement. 

Work regarding the 2006 NPR is nearing 

completion. However, because 6 years 

have passed since the issuance of the 

NPR, staff would like to provide 

stakeholders an opportunity to present 

their views on the outstanding issues. In 

addition, once rulemaking is complete, 

we envision that the next phase of the 

effort will focus on the different roles 

each of the various stakeholders can 

play to achieve the goal we believe 

every one of these stakeholders support: 

Keeping families safe on ATVs. With 

these interests in mind, we are inviting 

stakeholders to come together for an 

ATV Safety Summit. This Summit will 

serve as a forum for stakeholders who 

have a mutual commitment to ATV 

safety to share new information, as well 

as collaborate as a team and seek 

solutions to common problems. 

The Summit will take place over 2 

days and will feature a mix of 

rulemaking and nonrulemaking topic 

areas. There will be a series of panel 

discussions each day focused on a 

different topic of ATV safety. The 

details of the various topics are found in 

section III. The panel sessions will begin 

with presentations from each panelist 

and will be followed by a question, 

answer, and discussion forum. Every 

forum will be an open discussion led by 

CPSC staff moderators where attendees 

can speak freely. The discussions 

centering on our rulemaking will allow 

attendees to discuss the open 

rulemaking, and these discussions may 

be used to inform our future 

rulemaking. The discussion focusing on 

new innovations in ATV safety will 

allow stakeholders to work together to 

achieve common goals, develop possible 

solutions, and address actions that each 

stakeholder can perform to advance the 

goal of keeping families safe on ATVs. 

II. What do we hope the summit will 

accomplish? 

Our primary goal in this ATV Safety 

Summit is to bring together the 

stakeholders, including manufacturers, 

consumer advocates, academic 

researchers, and others with an interest 

in ATV safety, in an environment that 

fosters mutual respect and that 

encourages the sharing of information. 

We hope that by sharing lessons learned 

regarding public awareness, 

information/education, training, and 

technology, the groups each can take 

away information and ideas that will 

help everyone promote ATV safety. In 

addition, for issues that are not related 

to our current rulemaking effort, we 

want to encourage stakeholders to work 

together to develop solutions to ATV 

issues apart from any effort or assistance 

by the CPSC. 

Because there are some differences 

between the regulations we proposed in 

2006 and the regulations we 

promulgated after passage of the CPSIA, 

a secondary goal of the Summit is to 

give stakeholders the opportunity to 

inform CPSC staff of any new 

developments in these areas. More 

specifically, we are interested in 

learning about new developments in the 

areas of ATV lighting, consumer pointof-purchase information, and youth 

ATVs (speeds, size, weight, and 

transmission). 

III. What topics will be addressed at the 

summit? 

In general, the Summit will focus on 

the overall theme: ‘‘Keeping Families 

Safe on ATVs.’’ We recommend that all 

potential panelists consider this general 

theme when preparing. In particular, 

there are six topics areas that we have 

identified. Below is a list of the subject 

of each session and suggested specific 

topics for each. These suggested topics 

are meant to be a guideline, but 

potential panelists should not feel 

limited only to what is suggested below. 

Rulemaking Topic Areas 

1. Vehicle Characteristics 

• Suggested topics: Vehicle lighting 

(brake lights and head lights); Age 

categories; Speeds and transmission 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 166 / Monday, August 27, 2012 / Proposed Rules 51733 

for youth ATVs—user acceptance and 

user abilities; Physical sizing of ATVs 

2. Consumer Awareness 

• Suggested topics: Point-of-purchase 

information; on-product warning 

labels and hang tags 

ATV Innovations Topic Areas 

1. State Legislation: Effecting Change 

• Suggested topics: How to effect 

change; what works, what doesn’t? 

Successes and failures with other 

outdoor products 

2. ATV Training: Reaching the Next 

Generation 

• Suggested topics: Increasing 

availability; using new technology; 

what works, what doesn’t? 

3. Public Awareness, Information, and 

Education: Speaking With One Voice 

• Suggested topics: What works, what 

doesn’t? Cultural and social media 

challenges to promoting safe riding 

4. Vehicle Technology Innovations 

• Suggested topics: Any new 

innovation—from the proof-ofconcept stage or current in-use on 

ATVs—to advances in the area of 

lateral stability and rollover 

protection. 

It is difficult to anticipate the number 

of panelists who will be available for 

each topic area. Therefore, we have not 

yet determined the order of the panel 

sessions. We may combine, expand, or 

eliminate panel sessions depending on 

the level of interest. The final schedule 

will be announced on our Web site by 

September 28, 2012. 

IV. Details Regarding the Summit 

A. When and where will the summit be 

held? 

The Summit will be held from 9:00 

a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on October 11–12, 

2012, at the CPSC Headquarters 

building at 4330 East West Highway, 4th 

Floor Hearing Room, Bethesda, MD 

20814. 

B. How do you register for the summit? 

If you would like to be a panelist for 

a specific session of the Summit, you 

should register by September 14, 2012. 

(See the ADDRESSES portion of this 

document for the Web site link and 

instructions on where to register.) We 

also ask that you 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, staff will select panelists 

based on considerations such as: 

Whether the information to be presented 

has been received in previous open 

comment periods; what is the 

individual’s familiarity or expertise 

with the topic to be discussed; is there 

practical utility in the information to be 

presented; what is the topic’s relevance 

to the identified theme and topic area; 

what is the individual’s viewpoint or 

ability to represent certain interests 

(e.g., such as large manufacturers, small 

manufacturers, academic researchers, 

consumer organizations). While an 

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, staff may request potential 

panelists to submit planned 

presentations in addition to the initial 

abstract. We will notify selected 

panelists by September 21, 2012. 

If you wish to attend and participate 

in the Summit, but you do not wish to 

be a panelist, you should also register by 

October 5, 2012, and identify your 

affiliation. Every effort will be made to 

accommodate each person’s request; 

however, we may need to limit 

registration to meet the occupant 

capacity of our meeting rooms. If you 

are unable to attend the Summit, it will 

be available through a webcast, but you 

will not be able to interact with the 

panels and presenters, nor will every 

panel session be available. 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. 

If you wish to submit written 

comments for any reason, you may do 

so before or after the Summit by any of 

the methods stated in the ADDRESSES

portion of this notice. These comments 

should be received by November 14, 

2012. Comments should focus on new 

information that was not submitted 

previously that is related to the topic 

areas listed above. 

C. What will be the format of the 

summit? 

The Summit will open with a plenary 

session that includes a brief overview of 

the Commission’s past activities on 

ATVs. Following that, there will be a 

series of panels covering the topics 

listed above. Each panel session will 

consist of stakeholders and members of 

the public and will be moderated by 

CPSC staff. We expect potential 

panelists to speak for approximately 10 

minutes each about their topic area. At 

the conclusion of the panel’s 

presentations, there will be a question, 

answer, and discussion session among 

the panelists and the audience, 

centering on the topics discussed by the 

panelists. Each panel session will be 

approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. 

For the topics not related to 

rulemaking activities, a CPSC moderator 

will work with the group to help 

identify common goals, possible 

solutions, and actions each stakeholder 

can take, independent of any action, 

effort, or funding from the CPSC. We are 

not soliciting or accepting any advice 

from the group as a whole; instead, we 

are seeking to encourage the 

stakeholders to find common ground to 

move forward. 

For the topic areas related to our 

rulemaking effort, a CPSC staff member 

will moderate the panel session to focus 

the discussion on our open rulemaking 

topics. We are seeking new information 

that may be used to inform our 

rulemaking. 

All attendees will be given the 

opportunity to ask questions and make 

comments during the panel session. At 

the close of the afternoon session, all 

groups will join for a plenary session, 

during which the groups will report on 

the results of their discussions. 

D. What happens if few people register 

for the summit? 

If fewer than 15 panelists or less than 

30 participants register for the Summit, 

we may cancel the Summit. If we decide 

to cancel the Summit for this or any 

other reason, we will post a cancellation 

notice on the registration Web page for 

the Summit and send an email to all 

registered participants who provide 

their email address when they register.
