Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
(In December 2010, CPSC issued a final rule to establish a database of consumer product safety incidents, as required by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). Under the rule, the public may submit reports of harm about consumer product safety incidents and manufacturers identified in the report may comment. Both will appear in a publicly available and searchable database on CPSC’s website.
See ITT’s Online Archives or 12/09/10 news, 10120917, for BP summary of the final rule.)
Public Incident Form, Public Search Function to be Discussed Jan 11
The first Web conference, which will be held on January 11, 2011, will focus on the incident form that the public will use to file a report of harm and the search function of the Database. This Web conference is intended to inform stakeholders of the information required on the form to be used to report an incident, in addition to an explanation of the public search function of the database.
Industry Registration, Comments, Etc. to be Discussed Jan 20
The second Web conference, which will be held on January 20, 2011, will focus on the industry registration and comment features, the process for reporting incidents, and the public search component of the database.

The conferences will be webcast live from the Commission’s headquarters in Bethesda, MD via the Internet. Stakeholders may participate in person or online.
