Statement of Commissioner Peter A. Feldman on Comment Period Extension for the Proposed Safety Standard on Bassinets and Cradles

June 11, 2024

Today the United States Consumer Product Commission voted to approve a 45-day extension of the comment period for the proposed rulemaking for a Safety Standard on Bassinets and Cradles. On May 22, 2024, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) requested a 90-day extension, without providing a sufficiently detailed justification for the full 90 days. Given the complexity of this rulemaking, some extension of the comment period is reasonable to address technical issues. Therefore, a limited extension is appropriate here. Should JPMA provide substantiation for why it needs an additional 45 days, the Commission should consider such request at that time.
