PART 1101_INFORMATION DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 6(b) OF THE CONSUMER 
PRODUCT SAFETY ACT--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart C_Procedure for Providing Notice and Opportunity To Comment 
                          Under Section 6(b)(1)
 
Sec.  1101.22  Timing: request for time extensions.

    (a) Time for comment. (1) Generally firms will receive a minimum of 
twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the letter in which the 
Commission transmits the notice to furnish comments to the Commission. 
Firms that receive requests for comments by mail will receive an 
additional three (3) days to comment to account for time in the mail.
    (2) Upon his or her own initiative or upon request, the Freedom of 
Information Officer may provide a different amount of time for comment, 
particularly for firms that receive voluminous or complex material. In 
addition, the Commission may find that the public health and safety 
requires a lesser period of notice and may require a response in a 
shorter period of time (see Sec.  1101.24).
    (b) No response submitted. (1) If the Commission has not received a 
response within the time specified and if it has received no request for 
extension of time, the Commission will analyze the information as 
provided in subpart D. If no comments are submitted the Commission will 
not give the further notice provided in section 6(b)(2).
    (2) Unless the Commission finds that the public health and safety 
requires a lesser period of notice (see Sec.  1101.23), the Commission 
will not disclose the information in fewer than 30 days after providing 
a manufacturer or private labeler notice and opportunity to comment.
    (c) Requests for time extension. (1) Requests for extension of time 
to comment on information to be disclosed must be made to the person who 
provided the Commission's notice and opportunity to comment. The request 
for time extension may be either oral or written. An oral request for a 
time extension must be promptly confirmed in writing.
    (2) Requests for extension of time must explain with specificity why 
the extension is needed and how much additional time is required.
    (3) The Commission will promptly respond to requests for extension 
of time.
