These requirements become effective August 14, 2009.
The Commission has prepared a document titled, “Statement of Policy: Interpretation and Enforcement of Section 103(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act,” which provides guidance on the Commission's interpretation of the tracking label provision and how the Commission intends to enforce the provision. The Statement of Policy is available on the Commission's Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/sect103policy.pdf and from the Commission's Office of the Secretary at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
