-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'' or 
``CPSC'') published a direct final rule (``DFR'') and notice of 
proposed rulemaking (``NPR'') in the same issue of the Federal Register 
on October 14, 2015, clarifying when component part testing can be used 
and clarifying which textile products have been determined not to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 14, 2015, the Commission 
published a DFR and an NPR in the Federal Register, clarifying when 
component part testing can be used and clarifying which textile 
products have been determined not to exceed the allowable lead content 
limits. (DFR, 80 FR 61729 and NPR, 80 FR 61773). The American Apparel 
and Footwear Association (``AAFA'') has requested an extension of the 
comment period for 30 days because AAFA-member companies are currently 
reviewing the Commission's proposed amendment to the rule and need 
additional time to submit comments.
    The Commission has considered the request and is reopening the 
comment period for an additional 30 days. Because the 30-day extension 
date falls on a Sunday, the comment period will close on December 14, 
2015. The Commission believes that this extension allows adequate time 
for interested persons to submit comments on the proposed rule, without 
significantly delaying the rulemaking.

Acting Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
