This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.
Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Notice of withdrawal of proposed rules.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is formally withdrawing certain notices of proposed rulemaking issued between October 2009 and July 2024. The Commission does not intend to issue final rules with respect to these proposals. If the Commission decides to pursue future regulatory action in any of these areas, it will issue a new proposed rule.
The Commission is withdrawing the proposed rules published at 74 FR 55495 (October 28, 2009), 82 FR 22190 (May 12, 2017), 87 FR 43688 (July 21, 2022), and 89 FR 61363 (July 31, 2024) as of September 29, 2025.
Matthew A. Campbell, General Counsel, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone: (301) 504-0124; email: mcampbell@cpsc.gov.
The Commission is withdrawing the proposed rulemaking documents described below. The Commission does not intend to issue final rules with respect to these proposals. If the Commission decides to pursue future regulatory action in any of these areas, it will issue a new proposed rule. ( printed page 46542)
On October 11, 2011, the Commission started a rulemaking with an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR).[1] On May 12, 2017, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) proposing to establish a performance standard that requires table saws to limit the depth of cut to no more than 3.5 mm when a test probe, acting as surrogate for a human finger or other body part, approaches the spinning blade at a rate of 1 meter per second (m/s).[2] Subsequentially, on November 1, 2023, the Commission published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.[3]
On October 28, 2009, the Commission started a rulemaking with the publication of an ANPR under the CPSA to consider whether there may be unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with overturning and collisions related to recreational off-highway vehicles (OHVs).[4]
On May 11, 2021, the Commission started a rulemaking with the publication of an ANPR inviting comments concerning the risks of injury associated with OHV fire and debris-penetration hazards.[5] On July 21, 2022, the Commission published an NPR under the CPSA to propose requirements to prevent debris penetration into the occupant area of OHVs, including recreational off-highway vehicles and utility task/terrain vehicles.[6]
On July 31, 2024, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking to declare that any aerosol duster products that contain more than 18 mg in any combination of HFC-152a and/or HFC-134a are banned hazardous substances under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA).[7]
The Commission is withdrawing these proposals because, as noted above, the Commission no longer intends to issue final rules with respect to these proposals. If the Commission decides to pursue future regulatory action in any of these areas, it will do so by publishing a new proposed rule or other issuance consistent with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, as applicable.
