16 CFR Part 1051
Procedure for Petitioning for Rulemaking; Correction
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

to correct two references to sections that no longer exist.
DATES: The corrections become effective on September 8, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia M. Pollitzer, Office of
General Counsel, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C.
20207; telephone (301) 504-0980, extension 2219.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects two references in the
Commission's petition procedures. Section 1051.1 explains the scope of
the petition procedures. Subsection 1051.1(c), discussing petitions
under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, refers to 16 CFR 1500.201
and 21 CFR 2.65. Neither of these references apply now. 16 CFR 1500.201
merely restated certain statutory provisions and was withdrawn on March
6, 1991 (56 FR 9276). 21 CFR 2.65 was replaced in 1979 with rules that
apply only to the Food and Drug Administration (44 FR 22323).
Therefore, the Commission is eliminating these references. Because
these are technical corrections that do not make a substantive change,
notice and comment is unnecessary. 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Nor is there any
need to delay the effective date. 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
List of Subjects in 16 CFR Part 1051
Administrative practice and procedure, Consumer protection.
Accordingly, 16 CFR part 1051 is corrected by making the following
correcting amendments:
PART 1051--PROCEDURE FOR PETITIONING FOR RULEMAKING
1. The authority citation for Part 1051 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 553(e), 5 U.S.C. 555(e).
2. In Sec. 1051.1(c), first sentence, remove the comma and the
words ``16 CFR 1500.201, and 21 CFR 2.65''.
Dated: September 1, 1999.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
