The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has made a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend their information collection for coal and wood burning appliances. This request concerns the collection of important safety and performance data that must appear on labels, instruction manuals, and point-of-sale literature for these appliances to ensure consumer safety. The current approval will expire on March 31, 2025, and the CPSC has not received any public comments on the matter. Manufacturers and importers are required to submit this information, and no additional burden is expected except when new models are introduced or existing models are changed.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is seeking public comments on extending the approval of collecting information about notification requirements for coal and wood burning appliances. This involves providing important safety data on labels and manuals that come with these appliances, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The comments are due by February 3, 2025, and the current approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is set to expire on March 31, 2025. The CPSC wants feedback on the necessity, accuracy, and methods of improving this information collection process.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has finalized new rules to manage risks associated with electronic trading on designated contract markets (DCMs). These rules require DCMs to adopt measures to prevent, detect, and mitigate market disruptions or anomalies that might occur due to electronic trading. The regulations emphasize flexibility by allowing each DCM to tailor their risk controls based on their specific market needs. This approach aims to ensure stable and fair trading environments on electronic platforms.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued new rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances identified in premanufacture notices (PMNs). These rules, known as Significant New Use Rules (SNURs), require companies to notify the EPA 90 days before beginning to manufacture or process these chemicals in ways considered a "significant new use," giving the EPA time to evaluate potential risks. The rules include specific requirements for workplace safety, such as ventilation and protective equipment, as well as guidelines for hazard communication. This regulation aims to prevent risks to human health and the environment before these new uses of chemicals are fully developed or used commercially.
