CPSC Proposes Changes to Regs on Disclosures of Company Info

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is proposing to amend its regulations on disclosures of business information to the public. The proposed rule modernizes process by, for example, notifying manufacturers by email that information pertaining to them will be disclosed. It also “streamlines” the rule by “eliminating unnecessary administrative burdens to the agency, removing extra-statutory requirements,” and "eliminating redundancies in providing notice,” among other things. Comments on the proposed changes to CPSC’s 6(b) information disclosure regulations are due April 28.
