SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Along with this proposed rule, CPSC is 
publishing a direct final rule in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section 
of this issue of the Federal Register. This direct final rule 
establishes a determination that unfinished and untreated trunk wood 
does not contain heavy elements that would exceed the heavy elements 
limits specified in the Commission's mandatory toy standard, ASTM F963-
11. Based on this determination, unfinished and untreated trunk wood in 
toys does not require third party testing. CPSC did not issue a 
proposed rule before today because CPSC believes that this action is

final rule. Unless CPSC receives significant adverse comment regarding 
the determination during the comment period, the direct final rule in

2015, and CPSC will not take further action on this proposal. If CPSC 
receives a significant adverse comment, CPSC will publish a document in 
the Federal Register withdrawing the direct final rule, and the rule 
will not take effect. CPSC will then respond to public comments in a 
later final rule, based on this proposed rule. CPSC does not intend to 
institute a second comment period on this action. Parties interested in 
commenting on this determination must do so at this time. For 
additional information, please see the direct final rule published in 
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal 
Register.
