SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety 

Commission has determined 

preliminarily that there may be an 

unreasonable risk of injury and death 

associated with ROVs. On November 19, 

2014, the Commission issued an NPR to 

address the risk of injury posed by 

ROVs. (79 FR 68964). The NPR proposes 

a rule that includes: 

(1) Lateral stability and vehicle 

handling requirements that specify a 

minimum level of rollover resistance for 

ROVs and require that ROVs exhibit 

sublimit understeer characteristics; 

(2) lateral stability information 

requirements in the form of a hangtag; 

and 

(3) occupant retention requirements 

that would limit the maximum speed of 

an ROV to no more than 15 miles per 

hour (mph), unless the seat belts of both 

the driver and front passengers, if any, 

are fastened, and would require ROVs to 

have a passive means, such as a barrier 

or structure, to limit further the ejection 

of a belted occupant in the event of a 

rollover. 

These requirements would be issued 

under the Consumer Product Safety Act 

(CPSA). The NPR and staff’s briefing 

package are available on the 

Commission’s Web site at: http://

www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/FOIA/

Commission-Briefing-Packages/2014/. 

B. The Public Meeting 

The CPSA requires that the 

Commission provide an opportunity for 

the ‘‘oral presentation of data, views, or 

arguments,’’ in addition to written 

comments, when the Commission 

develops a consumer product safety 

standard under section 9 of the CPSA. 

15 U.S.C. 2058(d)(2). Thus, the 

Commission is providing this forum for 

oral presentations concerning the 

proposed ROV standard. See the 

information under the headings DATES

and ADDRESSES at the beginning of this 

notice for information on making 

requests to give oral presentations at the 

meeting and submission of written text 

in advance. Those who wish to make 

oral presentations must comply with the 

procedures described in this notice. 

Participants should limit their 

presentations to approximately 10 

minutes, exclusive of any periods of 

questioning by the Commissioners. To 

prevent duplicative presentations, 

groups will be directed to designate a 

spokesperson. The Commission reserves 

the right to adjust meeting procedures as 

may be necessary, including the right to 

limit the time further for any 

presentation and impose restrictions to 

avoid excessive duplication of 

presentations. 

Dated: November 26, 2014.

Acting Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission.
