Comment from Julianne Douglas

I agree with the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s proposed rule “Revocation of Requirements for Full-Size Baby Cribs and Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs” on the basis of redundancy and lack of necessity. The CPSC wants to revoke previous regulations because a new regulation is being proposed that will make the current regulations redundant. Revoking the previous regulation will simplify the regulations related to cribs. It will also minimize burden and clarify regulations. As stated in CPSC Docket No. CPSC–2010–0075, “These new proposed standards, if finalized, will adopt the voluntary standards developed by ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials), which are more stringent in some respects than the current applicable standards.” The proposed new regulations will be more thorough and comprehensive than the old regulations. It is simply logical to revoke the old outdated 16 CFR Parts 1508 and 1509.
