SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Pursuant to section 106 of the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act of 2008 (15 U.S.C. 2056b(a)), the 

Commission is required to promulgate 

toy safety standards that are more 

stringent than the applicable voluntary 

standard—ASTM F963, Standard 

Consumer Safety Specification for Toy 

Safety—if the Commission determines 

that more stringent requirements would 

further reduce the risk of injury 

associated with the product, as well as 

to periodically review and revise the 

rules set forth under section 106 to 

ensure that such rules provide the 

highest level of safety for such products 

that is feasible. 15 U.S.C. 2056b(c) and 

(d). 

Accordingly, on August 13, 2024, the 

Commission published an NPR in the 

Federal Register proposing to establish 

a safety standard for toys containing 

button cell or coin cell batteries by 

amending the requirements in part 1250 

specific to battery compartments for

toys containing button cell or coin cell 

batteries. The amendments would align 

the requirements more closely with the 

Commission’s new rule for consumer 

products containing button cell or coin 

batteries, codified at part 1263, and 

provide the highest level of safety that 

is feasible (89 FR 65791). In the August 

13 notice, the Commission provided a 

60-day comment period closing on 

October 15, 2024. 

B. Comment Period Extension 

Section III.D of the NPR states that 

CPSC would make available for review 

and comment, to the extent allowed by 

applicable law, the underlying incident 

data associated with the proposed rule. 

This data was to be made available upon 

publication of the NPR in the Federal 

Register on August 13, 2024. However, 

release of the underlying data was 

delayed until September 10, 2024. The 

Commission therefore is extending the 

comment period by 30 days, until 

November 14, 2024, so that the public 

has ample time to review and comment 

on the data.

of general applicability’’ for Market 

Dominant rate adjustment proceedings. 

Further, the Commission proposes to 

modify associated filing and reporting 

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Table of Contents 

I. Background 

II. Basis for Proposed Rule Change 

III. Proposed Rule 

I. Background 

In its general Market Dominant rate 

adjustment filings, the Postal Service 

routinely proposes to offer rate 

incentives in the form of promotions 

that reduce rates by providing 

discounts, rebates, or credits to 

participating mailers of certain types of 

mailpieces. Typically, such promotions 

are offered for several months during a 

particular calendar year for certain 

mailpieces in the First-Class Mail and 

USPS Marketing Mail classes. If the 

Commission approves, then the 

promotion may be offered again, with or 

without modifications, in the next 

calendar year. 

Each rate incentive offered by the 

Postal Service is either a rate of general 

applicability or a rate not of general 

applicability. A rate incentive of general 

applicability may be eligible for 

inclusion in the percentage change in 

rates calculation (provided that it 

satisfies all the applicable criteria under 

the Commission’s rules), which will 

allow for the Postal Service to generate 

price cap authority for the applicable 

class of mail. By contrast, a rate 

incentive not of general applicability 

has been ineligible for inclusion in the 

percentage change in rates calculation. 

The Commission previously adopted 

regulations concerning rate incentives 

for Market Dominant products.1

However, in connection with an appeal, 

the Commission stated that it would 

reconsider Order No. 5510 and that it 

‘‘does not intend to enforce Order No. 

5510 during the reconsideration 

period.’’ 2 In Order No. 6325, the 

Commission proposed modifying its 

rules and sought comments on its 

proposal.3 Subsequently, the 

Commission sought supplemental 

comments.4 Having considered the 

comments that it received, the 

Commission proposes further changes to 

its rules. 

II. Basis for Proposed Rule Change 

The Commission proposes to modify 

its rules by revising the criteria that a 

rate incentive must satisfy to be 

included in the percentage change in 

rates calculation; revising the definition 

of ‘‘rate of general applicability’’; and 

revising filing and reporting 

requirements. 

First, the Commission proposes to 

create a mechanism allowing certain 

rate incentives that are not rates of 

general applicability to be included in 

the percentage change in rates 

calculation. Second, the Commission 

proposes to remove the currently-notenforced requirement that a rate 

incentive must be made available to all 

mailers equally on the same terms and 

conditions to be included in the 

percentage change in rates calculation. 

Third, the Commission proposes to 

revise the definition of ‘‘rate of general 

applicability’’ at § 3030.101(j). This 

revision would clarify a potential 

ambiguity. The Commission also 

continues to propose to revise 

§ 3030.101(j) as initially proposed in 

Order No. 6325 to clarify that to qualify 

as a rate of general applicability, a rate 

incentive cannot have eligibility criteria 

based on historical mail volumes or 

prior participation in a rate incentive or 

promotion. Fourth, the Commission 

proposes to revise filing requirements to 

ensure that the Postal Service provides 

sufficient information at the outset of a 

Market Dominant rate adjustment 

proceeding. Fifth, the Commission 

proposes to add a provision authorizing 

it to require the submission of 

information to ensure that rate 

incentives included in the percentage 

change in rates calculation comply with 

applicable requirements. 

The proposed mechanism allowing 

certain rate incentives that are not rates 

of general applicability to be included 

in the percentage change in rates 

calculation would allow a rate incentive 

for which a mailer’s eligibility depends 

on the mailer increasing its volumes of 

a product (or multiple products) to be 

included in the percentage change in
