Sec.  1700.4  Effective date of standards.

    (a) The FR document promulgating a regulation establishing a child 
protection packaging standard shall indicate the standard's effective 
date. Section 9 of the act specifies that the effective date shall not 
be sooner than 180 days or later than 1 year from the date the standard 
is promulgated in the Federal Register unless the Commission, for good 
cause found, determines that an earlier effective date is in the public 
interest and publishes in the Federal Register the reason for such 
finding, in which case such earlier effective date shall apply.
    (b) Upon becoming effective, a child protection packaging standard 
shall apply only to household substances packaged on and after its 
effective date.
