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). In response to a 
request for additional time to comment, the Commission published a 
document extending the comment period until December 14, 2015, and 
providing that unless the Commission receives a significant adverse 
comment by December 14, 2015, the rule would become effective on 
January 13, 2016. 80 FR 72342. The comment period for the DFR was 
stated incorrectly on regulations.gov as January 13, 2016. Therefore, 
the Commission is publishing this document to reopen the comment period 
to allow for submission of comments until January 13, 2016, and 
delaying the effective date, accordingly, to February 12, 2016.

    Dated: December 29, 2015.
