SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 212 of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-314) (``CPSIA'') requires the
Commission to establish and maintain a product safety information
database that is available to the public. Specifically, section 212 of
the CPSIA amended the Consumer Product Safety Act (``CPSA'') to create
a new section 6A of the CPSA, titled ``Publicly Available Consumer
Product Safety Information Database'' (``Database''). Section 6A(a)(1)
of the CPSA requires the Commission to establish and maintain a
database on the safety of consumer products, and other products or
substances regulated by the Commission. The Database must be publicly
available, searchable, and accessible through the Commission's Web
site.
In the Federal Register of December 9, 2010 (75 FR 76832), we
published a final rule to establish the Database. The final rule will
become effective on January 10, 2011.
Through this notice, we are announcing that we will conduct two Web
conferences to demonstrate certain aspects of the Database. The first
Web conference, which will be held on January 11, 2011, will focus on
the incident form that the public will use to file a report of harm and
the search function of the Database. The Web conference is intended to
inform all interested stakeholders of the information required on the
form to be used to report an incident, in addition to an explanation of
the public search function of the Database.
The second Web conference, which will be held on January 20, 2011,
will focus on the industry registration and comment features, the
process for reporting incidents, and the public search component of the
Database.
Persons interested in viewing either Web conference or attending a
webcast in person should register in advance as explained in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. The CPSC Web link at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.cpsc.gov/ meetingsignup.html has more information about the
demonstrations.
Dated: January 3, 2011.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
