AGENCY:

Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION:

Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY:

On February 25, 2020, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) issued a direct final rule revising CPSC's mandatory standard for portable bed rails to incorporate by reference the most recent version of the applicable ASTM standard. That document contained typographical errors. In this document, we correct those errors, provide an additional option for viewing the standard, and add new contact information, which will provide the public several ways to contact CPSC, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DATES:

Effective July 8, 2020.

This document corrects typographical errors in § 1224.2, to reference the correct ASTM standard, ASTM F2085-19, and updates the CPSC telephone number to: 301-504-7479. In addition, the document provides another way to view a read-only copy of the standard on the ASTM website at: https://www.astm.org/​READINGLIBRARY/​,, and adds an email address to provide an additional contact option to reach the agency's Secretary: [e-mail]. This document does not make any substantive changes to the final rule. We are making these corrections to avoid possible confusion and to provide the public several ways to contact CPSC, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
