The Consumer Product Safety Commission is extending the period for comments on its November update to a proposed safety standard for table saws that dates back to 2017. The proposed standard would require injury mitigation technologies on all new table saws (see 1705110021), and the recent update to the proposal would add more detail to its definition of the term “table saw,” as well as a more precise description of the proposed standard’s performance requirement and a revised anti-stockpiling provision (see 2311060043). Comments are now due Feb. 1.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission will allow more time for comments on its proposed safety standard on residential gas furnaces and boilers, the agency said in a notice Dec. 11. The October proposed rule would require the appliances to monitor carbon dioxide levels and modulate or cut off combustion if they get too high, and also would set testing and performance requirements for residential gas furnaces and boilers (see 2310260015). The proposed requirements would take effect 18 months after publication of a final rule establishing the standard. Comments are now due Jan. 25.
