             CHAPTER II--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
 
PART 1105--CONTRIBUTIONS TO COSTS OF PARTICIPANTS IN DEVELOPMENT OF CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY STANDARDS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1105.6  Criteria.

    The Commission may authorize a financial contribution only for 
participants who meet all of the following criteria:
    (a) The participant represents particular interest, expertise or 
point of view that can reasonably be expected to contribute 
substantially to a full and fair determination of the issues involved in 
the proceeding;
    (b) The economic interest of the participant in any Commission 
determination related to the proceeding is small in comparison to the 
participant's costs of effective participation in the proceeding. If the 
participant consists of more than one individual or group, the economic 
interest of each of the individuals or groups comprising the participant 
shall also be considered, if practicable and appropriate; and
    (c) The participant does not have sufficient financial resources 
available for effective participation in the proceeding, in the absence 
of a financial contribution.
