Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
against unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire. The current Standard specifies as the ignition source cigarettes that are no longer being produced. In order for the Standard to continue to be effective and for labs to test mattresses and mattress pads to determine whether they comply with the Standard, it is necessary to change the ignition source specification.
Changing the ignition source to SRM
1196a, rather than FSC cigarettes, will ensure that testing is reliable and that results will not vary from one lab or manufacturer to another. Such variation would be likely if labs or manufacturers were able to use different ignition sources that have similar physical properties but different burning characteristics. The Commission finds that the amendment is needed to adequately protect the public against unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire leading to death, personal injury or significant property damage.
The amendment to the Standard is reasonable, technologically practicable, and appropriate. The amendment is based on technical research conducted by NIST and CPSC staff, which established that the SRM 1196a cigarette is capable of providing reliable and reproducible results in flammability testing of mattresses and mattress pads.
The SRM 1196a ignition source represents an equivalent, safety-neutral ignition source for use in testing to establish compliance with the Standard.
The Commission finds that the amendment is reasonable, technologically practicable and appropriate.
The amendment to the Standard is limited to fabrics, related materials, and products that present an unreasonable risk. The amendment will continue to apply to the same products as the existing Standard, so the Commission finds that it is limited to fabrics, related materials, and products that present an unreasonable risk, and it is stated in objective terms.
Voluntary standards. There is no applicable voluntary standard for mattresses. The rule amends an existing federal mandatory standard.
Relationship of benefits to costs.
Amending the Standard to specify SRM
1196a cigarettes as the ignition source allows testing to the Standard to continue without interruption, maintains the effectiveness of the Standard, and will not significantly increase testing costs to manufacturers and importers of mattresses and mattress pads. Both expected benefits and costs of the amendment are small.
The effect on testing costs will be minor.
Thus, the Commission finds that there

is a reasonable relationship between benefits and costs of the amendment.
Least burdensome requirement. No other alternative would allow the Standards level of safety and effectiveness to continue. Thus, the Commission finds that the amendment imposes the least burdensome requirement that would adequately address the risk of injury.

AGENCY:

For the reasons discussed above, the Commission finds that amending the mattress flammability standard 16 CFR
part 1632 to specify SRM 1196a cigarettes as the ignition source is needed to adequately protect the public against the unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire leading to death, injury, and significant property damage.
The Commission also finds that the amendment to the Standard is reasonable, technologically practicable, and appropriate. The Commission further finds that the amendment is limited to the fabrics, related materials, and products that present such unreasonable risks.
