SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 2, 2017, the Commission
published an NPR in the Federal Register, proposing amendments to the
fireworks regulations in 16 CFR parts 1500 and 1507, under the
authority of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 U.S.C. 1261-
1278). 82 FR 9012. The NPR provided a 75-day comment period, which will
close on April 18, 2017. The National Fireworks Association has
requested that the Commission extend the comment period an additional
90 days, in light of the broad scope of the amendments proposed in the
NPR, the complex and highly-technical nature of the proposed
amendments, and the potential impact on industry members.
The Commission grants this request, extending the comment period
for an additional 90 days, until July 17, 2017.\1\
