[Federal Register: June 28, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 123)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 34533] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr28jn99-10] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION 16 CFR Part 1615 Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X; Correction AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission. ACTION: Correcting amendments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Commission is amending the standard for the flammability of children's sleepwear sizes 0 through 6X to correct several references to a paragraph that was redesignated when the Commission amended the standard in 1996. In this document, the Commission is also clarifying the definition of infant garments. DATES: The corrections become effective on June 28, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marilyn Borsari, Office of Compliance, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C. 20207; telephone (301) 504-0400, extension 1370. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects several references in the children's sleepwear standard for sizes 0 through 6X that were not changed when the Commission amended the standard in 1996.1 When the standard was amended to exempt infant garments, paragraph 1615.1(c), which defined ``item,'' was changed to 1615.1(d). Several references to this paragraph elsewhere in the standard were not changed to refer to the redesignated paragraph. This notice corrects those references. This notice also corrects the definition of infant garments in paragraph 1615.1(c). As currently worded, the language seems to apply to children aged 9 months or younger, rather than garments sized 9 months or smaller. Garments sized 9 months are typically worn by children who are actually 5 or 6 months old. This notice clarifies the definition by defining an infant garment as ``a garment that is sized nine months or smaller,'' rather than by defining it as ``a garment that is sized for a child nine months of age or younger.'' Because these are technical corrections rather than substantive rules, there is no need to delay the effective date. 5 U.S.C. 553(d). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Commissioners Mary Gall and Thomas Moore voted to issue this correction notice. Chairman Ann Brown abstained. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- List of Subjects in 16 CFR Part 1615 Clothing, Consumer protection, Flammable materials, Infants and children, Labeling, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Sleepwear, Textiles, Warranties.
