SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) 

requires the Commission to adopt 

mandatory standards for durable infant 

or toddler products. 15 U.S.C. 

2056a(b)(1). Mandatory standards must 

be ‘‘substantially the same as’’ voluntary 

standards, or they may be ‘‘more 

stringent’’ than the applicable voluntary 

standards, if the Commission 

determines that more stringent 

requirements would further reduce the 

risk of injury associated with the 

products. Id. Mandatory standards may 

be based, in whole or in part, on a 

voluntary standard. 

Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA 

specifies the process for when a 

voluntary standards organization revises 

a standard that the Commission 

incorporated by reference under section 

104(b)(1). First, the voluntary standards 

organization must notify the 

Commission of the revision. Once the 

Commission receives this notification, 

the Commission may reject or accept the 

revised standard. To reject a revised 

standard, the Commission must notify 

the voluntary standards organization 

within 90 days of receiving the notice of 

revision that the Commission has 

determined that the revised standard

2Type 1 and type 2 wind resources are not 

inverter-based wind turbine generators. Rather, type 

1 and type 2 wind resources rely on passive 

induction generators with limited ability to control 

active power, reactive power, or voltage. NERC,

Verification for Inverter-Based Resources, vii, ix

Resources.pdf. 

does not improve the safety of the 

consumer product and that CPSC is 

retaining the existing standard. If the 

Commission does not take this action, 

the revised voluntary standard will be 

considered a consumer product safety 

standard issued under section 9 of the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) 

(15 U.S.C. 2058), effective 180 days after 

the Commission received notification of 

the revision (or a later date specified by 

the Commission in the Federal 

Register). 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). 

Under this authority, the Commission 

issued a mandatory safety rule that 

incorporates by reference ASTM F2012– 

18 epsiv;1, Safety Standard for 

Stationary Activity Centers, codified at 

16 CFR part 1238 (84 FR 28205, June. 

18, 2019). The ASTM standard 

incorporated by CPSC defines a 

stationary activity center as ‘‘a 

freestanding product intended to remain 

stationary that enables a sitting or 

standing occupant whose torso is 

completely surrounded by the product 

to walk, rock, play, spin or bounce, or 

all of these, within a limited range of 

motion.’’ 16 CFR 1238.2. This 

mandatory standard includes 

performance requirements and test 

methods, as well as requirements for 

warning labels and instructions, to 

address hazards to children. 

On January 6, 2025, ASTM notified 

the Commission that it had approved 

and published another revised version 

of the voluntary standard, ASTM 

F2012–2024. CPSC is assessing the 

revised voluntary standard to 

determine, consistent with section 

104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, its effect on 

the safety of stationary activity centers 

subject to 16 CFR part 1238. The 

Commission invites public comment to 

inform CPSC staff’s assessment and 

subsequent Commission consideration 

of the revisions in ASTM F2012–2024.1

The currently incorporated voluntary 

standard (ASTM F2012–18e1) and the 

revised voluntary standard (ASTM 

F2012–24) are available for review in 

several ways. A read-only copy of the 

existing, incorporated standard is 

available for viewing, at no cost, on the 

ASTM website at: https://

www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/. A 

read-only copy of the revised standard 

(ASTM F2012–24), including red-lined 

versions that identify the changes from 

the 2018 versions to the 2024 version, 

is available, at no cost, on ASTM’s 

website at: https://www.astm.org/ 

CPSC.htm. Interested parties can also 

download copies of the standards by 

purchasing them from ASTM 

International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, 

P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 

19428–2959; phone: 610–832–9585; 

https://www.astm.org. Alternatively, 

interested parties can schedule an 

appointment to inspect copies of the 

standards at CPSC’s Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission, 4330 East-West 

Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, 

telephone: 301–504–7479. 

Comments must be received by 

February 4, 2025. Because of the short 

statutory time frame Congress 

established for the Commission to 

consider revised voluntary standards 

under section 104(b)(4) of the CPSIA, 

CPSC will not consider comments 

received after this date.
