SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Upholstered Furniture Rulemaking Under the FFA
1. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. In 1993, the National Association of State Fire Marshals NASFM petitioned the Commission to issue regulations under the FFA
addressing upholstered furniture fire risks. On June 15, 1994, the Commission granted the petition, in part, and issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking ANPR on the specific risk of small, open flame-ignited fires. 59 FR
30735. The Commission denied the petition regarding large, open flameignited fires, and deferred action on the petition for cigarette-ignited fires. On October 23, 2003, the Commission published a subsequent ANPR, expanding the upholstered furniture proceeding to address ignition of upholstered furniture by small open flames and smoldering cigarettes. 68 FR
60629.
2. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. On March 4, 2008, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking 2008
NPR for a flammability standard for residential upholstered furniture under the FFA. 73 FR 11702. The 2008 NPR
proposed performance requirements to reduce the likelihood of upholstered furniture fires ignited by cigarettes or small open flames. Manufacturers and importers of upholstered furniture could choose one of two possible methods for compliance: 1 Use upholstery cover material that met the specified cigaretteignition performance test, i.e., Type I
furniture; or 2 incorporate an interior fire barrier between the cover fabric and interior filling materials that met both the smoldering and small open-flame resistance tests, i.e., Type II furniture.
An interior fire barrier was defined as a fire-resistant material that is
