CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 1633 

Final Rule: Standard for the 

Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress 

Sets; Correction 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is making 

corrections to the flammability standard 

for mattress sets that was published in 

the Federal Register of March 15, 2006, 

(71 FR 13472). The corrections rectify 

typographical errors, clarify technical 

aspects of running the flammability test 

required by the standard, and clarify 

that the certification statement on the 

mattress set label may appear in another 

language in addition to English. 

DATES: The corrections become effective 

on February 6, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Heather Sonabend, Office of 

Compliance, Consumer Product Safety 

Commission, 4330 East West Highway, 

Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone (301)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

15, 2006, the Commission issued a final 

rule specifying a flammability standard 

to reduce deaths and injuries related to 

mattress fires. The standard contains 

requirements for a test procedure, 

recordkeeping and labeling. Other than 

the correction that allows translation of 

the certification statement, the 

corrections occur in section 1633.7, the 

provisions describing the technical 

details of running the flammability test. 

The changes are described below. 

In § 1633.7(a)(4), the term ‘‘bed 

frame’’ is changed to ‘‘test frame’’ to 

clarify that this refers to the frame used 

in the test, not a regular bed frame. This 

change is made in other paragraphs as 

well. Language also is added to this 

section to clarify that the angle iron 

should be positioned to angle down 

rather than up. 

In § 1633.7(a)(6), a new paragraph (v) 

is created to clarify that the second half 

of existing paragraph (iv) relates to the 

burner inlet line. The remaining 

subparagraphs are redesignated. A 

technical error in footnote 1 is corrected 

to provide the correct measurements for 

the plastic tubing attaching the metal 

arms to the gas control. In the paragraph 

on the flow control system, there was a 

technical error in the propane pressure 

value. 70 kPa should be 140 kPa, and 

140kPa (20 psig) should be 140 ± 5 kPa 

(20 ± 1 psig). These measurements and 

an erroneous reference to a figure 8 are 

corrected. 

In § 1633.7(b)(1)(ii) the range used for 

the propane tank is corrected from 20 

± .5 psig to 20 ± 1 psig. 

In § 1633.7(d) concerning test 

preparation a typographical error is 

corrected to state that the horizontal air 

flow velocity adjacent to the test 

specimen shall be no more than 

0.5 m/s. A few sentences in 

subparagraph (2) are changed to clarify 

placement of the mattress and 

foundation specimen on the test frame. 

In § 1633.7(e) a reference is corrected 

to correspond to the appropriate 

redesignated paragraph in § 1633.7(a)(6). 

In § 1633.7(f) the sentence concerning 

the general layout for the room 

configuration is moved to the beginning 

of the paragraph to make the paragraph 

easier to follow. 

In § 1633.7(h) an erroneous reference 

to figure 8 in subparagraph (1)(iv) is 

removed. Language is also added in that 

subparagraph to permit use of a platen 

that is another dimension than specified 

if it meets the requirements for a 

specific sample. In subparagraph (2)(i) 

rather than specifying an 8 inch length 

of duct tape to hold the platen in 

position, the language is changed to 

clarify that the duct tape be of sufficient 

length to assure that the platen stays 

firmly against the mattress surfaces. In 

subparagraph (2)(iv) language is added 

to clarify the use of flat stock to assure 

that the burner is parallel to the mattress 

surface. In subparagraph (2)(viii) the 

change clarifies that the stand off foot 

referred to is that of the vertical burner. 

The placement of footnote 9 is moved to 

the last sentence of this subparagraph 

for clarification. 

In § 1633.7(i) the abbreviation ‘‘ca.’’ is 

changed to the word ‘‘approximately’’

for clarification. 

In § 1633.12 concerning labeling, 

paragraph (a)(6)(iii) is corrected to make 

that paragraph concerning mattresses 

intended to be sold both alone and with 

a foundation consistent with paragraph 

(a)(6)(ii) concerning mattresses intended 

to be sold with a foundation. Also in 

§ 1633.12, paragraph (d) is corrected to 

make clear that translation of the 

certification statement into another 

language on the reverse side of the 

required label is permitted. 

Because these are technical 

corrections rather than substantive 

changes, notice and comment is not 

necessary. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). The 

corrections clarify technical aspects of 

the flammability testing and labeling 

provisions. They do not change the 

substantive obligations of mattress 

manufacturers and importers. For the 

same reason, there is no need to delay 

the effective date for these corrections.

Authorized Sources of Narcotic Raw 

Materials 

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA), Department of 

Justice. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA) is amending the 

list of non-traditional countries 

authorized to export narcotic raw 

materials (NRM) to the United States by 

removing Yugoslavia and adding Spain. 

This rule provides DEA registered 

importers with another potential source 

from which to purchase NRM that are 

used in the production of controlled 

substances for medical purposes in the 

United States. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective March 7, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Legal Authority 

DEA enforces the Comprehensive 

Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act 

of 1970, often referred to as the 

Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and 

the Controlled Substances Import and 

Export Act (21 U.S.C. 801, et seq.), as 

amended. DEA regulations 

implementing these statutes are 

published in Title 21 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 1300 to 

1316. These regulations are designed to 

ensure that there is a sufficient supply 

of controlled substances for legitimate 

medical, scientific, research, and 

industrial purposes and to deter the 

diversion of controlled substances to 

illegal purposes. The CSA and its 

implementing regulations are consistent 

with United States treaty obligations 

that, among other things, address the 

production, import, and export of 

controlled substances. 

Controlled Substances 

Controlled substances are drugs that 

have a potential for abuse and 

psychological and physical dependence, 

including opiates, stimulants, 

depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic 

steroids, and drugs that are immediate 

precursors of these classes of 

substances. DEA lists controlled 

substances in 21 CFR Part 1308. The 

substances are divided into five 

schedules. Schedule I substances have a 

high potential for abuse and have no 

accepted medical use in treatment in the 

United States. These substances may 

only be used for research, chemical 

analysis, or manufacture of other drugs. 

Substances listed in schedules II—V 

have accepted medical uses but also 

have potential for abuse and 

psychological and physical dependence. 

Narcotic raw materials (opium, poppy 

straw, and concentrate of poppy straw 

(CPS)) are in schedule II and are the 

materials from which morphine, 

codeine, thebaine and oripavine are 

extracted for purposes of manufacturing 

a number of schedule II and III 

controlled substances. 

Sources of Narcotic Raw Materials 

In May 1979, the United Nations’ 

Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) 

adopted Resolution 471, which called 

on importing countries such as the 

United States to support traditional 

suppliers of NRM and to limit imports 

from non-traditional supplying 

countries. The resolution, which was 

reaffirmed by ECOSOC in 1981, was
