CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

16 CFR Parts 1508 and 1509 

Full-Size and Non-Full Size Baby Cribs: 

Withdrawal of Advance Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is 

terminating a proceeding for the 

possible amendment of the 

Commission’s standards for full-size 

cribs, codified at 16 CFR part 1508, and 

for non-full-size cribs, codified at 16 

CFR part 1509 which the Commission 

began with publication of an advance 

notice of proposed rulemaking on 

December 16, 1996, 61 FR 65997. On 

August 14, 2008, the Consumer Product 

Safety Improvement Act of 2008 

(‘‘CPSIA’’) was enacted. Section 104(b) 

of the CPSIA requires the Commission 

to promulgate consumer product safety 

standards for durable infant or toddler 

products, which are to be ‘‘substantially 

the same as’’ applicable voluntary 

standards (or more stringent 

requirements if they would further 

reduce the risk of injury associated with 

the product). Elsewhere in this issue of 

the Federal Register, the Commission is 

proposing safety standards for full-size 

and non-full-size baby cribs in response 

to section 104(b) of the CPSIA. The crib 

standards the Commission is proposing 

include provisions that address the risks 

of injury identified in the 1996 ANPR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

In 1973, the Commission issued 

mandatory regulations for full-size cribs, 

which were amended in 1982 and are 

codified at 16 CFR part 1508. In 1976, 

the Commission issued nearly identical 

regulations for non-full-size cribs, 

which were also amended in 1982, and 

are codified at 16 CFR part 1509. In 

1996, the Commission published an 

advance notice of proposed rulemaking 

(‘‘ANPR’’) which initiated a rulemaking 

proceeding for the possible amendment 

of the Commission’s crib regulations to 

address the risk of slats disengaging 

from cribs sides. 61 FR 65997 (Dec. 16, 

1996). After publication of the ANPR, 

the Commission staff worked with the 

voluntary standards group, ASTM 

International (formerly known as the 

American Society for Testing and 

Materials), which added provisions in 

its standard for full-size baby cribs, 

ASTM F 1169, to address this hazard. 

The Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (‘‘CPSIA’’, 

Pub. L. 110–314) was enacted on August 

14, 2008. Section 104(b) of the CPSIA 

requires the Commission to promulgate 

consumer product safety standards for 

durable infant or toddler products. 

These standards are to be ‘‘substantially 

the same as’’ applicable voluntary 

standards or more stringent than the 

voluntary standard if the Commission 

concludes that more stringent 

requirements would further reduce the 

risk of injury associated with the 

product. Elsewhere in this issue of the 

Federal Register, the Commission is 

issuing a proposed rule that would 

establish safety standards for full-size 

and non-full-size cribs that are 

substantially the same as voluntary 

standards ASTM F 1169–10, Standard 

Consumer Safety Specification for FullSize Baby Cribs, and ASTM F 406–10, 

Standard Consumer Safety 

Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby 

Cribs. The Commission proposes to 

incorporate these ASTM standards by 

reference with certain modifications to 

strengthen them. The proposed 

standards, as modified, would include 

provisions in both the full-size and nonfull-size crib standards that address the 

risk of crib slat disengagement the 

Commission identified in the ANPR. 

B. Withdrawal of the ANPR 

The rulemaking that the Commission 

is now initiating under section 104(b) of 

the CPSIA proposes to establish new 

requirements for full-size and non-full 

size cribs that will include the 

requirements of the Commission’s 

existing regulations codified at 16 CFR 

parts 1508 and 1509 and additional 

requirements in the ASTM voluntary 

standards. Because these new crib 

standards will include performance 

tests to address the risk of crib slat 

disengagement, the Commission is 

withdrawing the ANPR published 

December 16, 1996, 61 FR 65997, and 

terminating that rulemaking.
