SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On January 7, 2022, the Commission 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR) in the Federal 

Register, proposing to issue a Safety 

Standard for Operating Cords on 

Custom Window Coverings under the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 

U.S.C. 2051–2089), and seeking written 

comments. 87 FR 1014. The NPR seeks 

to address an unreasonable risk of 

strangulation to children 8 years old and 

younger associated with custom 

window coverings that have accessible 

operating cords that are longer than 8 

inches. The NPR would require that 

operating cords on custom window 

coverings meet the same requirements 

as operating cords on stock window 

coverings, as set forth in the applicable 

voluntary standard, ANSI/WCMA 

A100.1—2018, American National 

Standard for Safety of Corded Window 

Covering Products. Thus, the proposed 

rule proposes that operating cords on 

custom window coverings must be 

cordless, inaccessible, or 8 inches or 

shorter in length in any use position. If 

finalized, operating cords on custom 

window coverings would require testing 

and certification to the rule under 

section 14 of the CPSA. Moreover, 

operating cords on custom window 

coverings that meet the definition of a 

‘‘children’s product’’ would require 

third party testing by a CPSC-accredited 

third party conformity assessment body. 

Accordingly, the proposed rule also 

proposes to amend the Commission’s 

regulation at 16 CFR part 1112 to add 

‘‘Safety Standard for Operating Cords on 

Custom Window Coverings’’ to the list 

of rules that require third party testing.

II. The Public Hearing 

The Administrative Procedure Act (5 

U.S.C. 551–562) and section 9 of the 

CPSA require the Commission to 

provide interested parties with an 

opportunity to submit ‘‘written data, 

views, or arguments’’ regarding a 

proposed rule. 5 U.S.C. 553(c); 15 U.S.C. 

2058(d)(2). The NPR invited such 

written comments. Section 9 of the 

CPSA also requires the Commission to 

provide interested parties ‘‘an 

opportunity for oral presentation of 

data, views, or arguments.’’ 15 U.S.C. 

2058(d)(2). The Commission must keep 

a transcript of such oral presentations. 

Id. To satisfy this requirement, the 

Commission is providing a forum for 

oral presentations concerning the 

proposed Safety Standard for Operating 

Cords on Custom Window Coverings.1

To request the opportunity to make an 

oral presentation, see the information 

under the DATES and ADDRESSES sections 

of this notice. Participants should limit 

their presentations to approximately 10 

minutes, excluding time for questioning 

by the Commissioners or CPSC staff. To 

avoid duplicate presentations, groups 

should designate a spokesperson, and 

the Commission reserves the right to 

limit presentation times or impose 

further restrictions, as necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On January 10, 2022, the Commission 

published an NPR in the Federal 

Register, proposing to issue a safety 

standard for magnets under the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 

U.S.C. 2051–2089), and seeking written 

comments. 87 FR 1260. The proposed 

rule seeks to address the risk of injury 

or death associated with magnet 

ingestions, by requiring loose or 

separable magnets in subject magnet 

products to be either too large to 

swallow, or weak enough to reduce the 

risk of internal interaction injuries when 

swallowed. The proposed rule would 

apply to ‘‘subject magnet products,’’ 

which are consumer products that are 

designed, marketed, or intended to be 

used for entertainment, jewelry 

(including children’s jewelry), mental 

stimulation, stress relief, or a 

combination of these purposes, and that 

contain one or more loose or separable 

magnets. The NPR proposed a rule to 

require each loose or separable magnet 

in a subject magnet product that fits 

entirely within CPSC’s small parts 

cylinder (described in 16 CFR 1501.4) to 

have a flux index of less than 50 kG2

mm2. Toys that are subject to CPSC’s 

mandatory toy standard in 16 CFR part 

1250 are exempt from the proposed rule.

II. The Public Hearing 

The Administrative Procedure Act (5 

U.S.C. 551–562) and section 9 of the 

CPSA require the Commission to 

provide interested parties with an 

opportunity to submit ‘‘written data, 

views, or arguments’’ regarding a 

proposed rule. 5 U.S.C. 553(c); 15 U.S.C. 

2058(d)(2). The NPR invited such 

written comments. In addition, section 

9 of the CPSA requires the Commission 

to provide interested parties ‘‘an 

opportunity for oral presentation of 

data, views, or arguments’’ 15 U.S.C. 

2058(d)(2). The Commission must keep 

a transcript of such oral presentations.

the Commission is providing a forum for 

oral presentations concerning the 

proposed standard for magnets.
