SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 1

On February 3, 2022, the Commission 

published an NPR in the Federal 

Register, proposing to issue a safety 

standard for CSUs under the Consumer 

Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C. 

2051–2089), and seeking written 

comments. 87 FR 6246. The proposed 

rule seeks to address the risk of injuries 

and death, particularly to children, 

associated with CSUs tipping over, by 

requiring CSUs to be tested for stability 

and to exceed minimum stability 

requirements; to be marked and labeled 

with safety information; and to bear a 

hang tag providing performance and 

technical data about the stability of the 

CSU. The proposed rule would apply to 

‘‘clothing storage units,’’ which the NPR 

proposes to define as follows: 

Clothing storage unit means a freestanding 

furniture item, with drawer(s) and/or door(s), 

that may be reasonably expected to be used 

for storing clothing, that is greater than or 

equal to 27 inches in height, and with a total 

functional volume of the closed storage 

greater than 1.3 cubic feet and greater than 

the sum of the total functional volume of the 

open storage and the total volume of the open 

space. Common names for clothing storage 

units include, but are not limited to: Chests, 

bureaus, dressers, armoires, wardrobes, 

chests of drawers, drawer chests, chifforobes, 

and door chests. Whether a product is a 

clothing storage unit depends on whether it 

meets this definition. Some products that 

generally do not meet the criteria in this 

definition and, therefore, likely are not 

considered clothing storage units are: 

Shelving units, office furniture, dining room 

furniture, laundry hampers, built-in closets, 

and single-compartment closed rigid boxes 

(storage chests). 

The NPR proposes to exempt clothes 

lockers and portable storage closets from 

the standard. The NPR is available at: 

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/ 

FR-2022-02-03/pdf/2022-01689.pdf, and 

CPSC staff’s briefing package for the 

NPR is available at: https://

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. 

Id. In accordance with this requirement, 

the Commission is providing a forum for 

oral presentations concerning the 

proposed standard for CSUs. 

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.

Commission.
