Application of Third Party Testing Requirements; Reducing Third Party Testing Burdens

The Consumer Product Safety Commission staff ("CPSC," "Commission," or "we") invites public comment on opportunities to reduce the cost of third party testing requirements consistent with assuring compliance with any applicable consumer product safety rule, ban, standard, or regulation. Third party testing requirements apply to most children's products that are subject to a children's product safety rule. We are taking this action pursuant to section 14(i)(3)(A) of the Consumer Product Safety Act ("CPSA"), as amended by H.R. 2715, Public Law 112-28.\1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
