Sec.  1031.8  Voluntary Standards Coordinator.

    (a) The Executive Director shall appoint a Voluntary Standards 
Coordinator to coordinate agency participation in voluntary standards 
bodies so that:
    (1) The most effective use is made of agency personnel and 
resources, and
    (2) The views expressed by such personnel are in the public interest 
and, at a minimum, do not conflict with the interests and established 
views of the agency.
    (b) The Voluntary Standards Coordinator is responsible for managing 
the Commission's voluntary standards program, as well as preparing and 
submitting to the Commission a semiannual summary of staff's voluntary 
standards activities. The summary shall set forth, among other things, 
the goals of each voluntary standard under development, the extent of 
CPSC staff activity, the current status of standards development and 
implementation, and, if any, recommendations for additional Commission 
action. The Voluntary Standards Coordinator shall also compile 
information on the Commission's voluntary standards activities for the 
Commission's annual report.
