CPSC's Adler Votes Against Add'l Comment Time for Table Saw Proposed Rule
Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Adler has voted against a request by the Power Tool Institute (PTI) for an additional extension of time to comment on CPSC's October 2011 advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) on table saw blade contact injuries. The ANPR had a December 12, 2011 comment due date, which CPSC extended to February 10, 2012. PTI requested comment extension due to its pending Freedom of Information Act requests, which it states it needs before fully commenting on the ANPR. Adler states this does not justify a further extension of the comment date. He notes that as of February 8, 2012, there are over 1,000 comments on the ANPR that have been uploaded to www.regulations.gov.
