             CHAPTER II--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
 
PART 1116--REPORTS SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 37 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1116.12  Commission response to section 37 reports.

    Upon receipt of a section 37 report, the Commission will evaluate 
the information contained in the report and any relevant information 
contained in its files or data bases to determine what, if any, follow-
up or remedial action by the Commission is appropriate. If the 
Commission requires additional information, it will notify the 
manufacturer in writing of the specific information to provide. In 
addition, the Commission will routinely review section 37 reports to 
determine whether the reporting manufacturers have fulfilled their 
obligations under both sections 37 and 15(b) in a timely manner. Such a 
review may also engender a request for additional information, including 
the dates on which final orders were entered in each of the lawsuits 
reported under section 37. The Commission will treat any subsequent 
submission of information by the manufacturer as a submission under 
section 37(c)(2)(B) subject to the restrictions on public disclosure 
contained in sections 6(a) and (b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act.
