Completion of the rulemaking will be followed by “full implementation” of the PGA message set in “early 2025,” CPSC said. That, along with the “successful launch” of its “eFiling Beta Pilot” on Oct. 16, is on target for the timeline the commission had anticipated nearly two years ago (see 2205020061).
“More than 30 participant importers and their trade party partners” are included in the beta pilot, CPSC said. “Beta Pilot participants are entering and managing data in the CPSC Product Registry, eFiling PGA Message Sets, and providing real-time feedback through their participation,” it said.
“After completion of the Beta Pilot, participating importers may continue eFiling, ramping up to 100% of their consumer product catalogue as CPSC finalizes its rulemaking and system enhancements for eFiling," the commission said. “CPSC will consider allowing non-Pilot participants to begin eFiling prior to full implementation.”
