Every equestrian helmet manufactured on or after the date that is 9 months after the date of enactment of this Act shall meet— the interim standard specified in subsection (b), pending the establishment of a final standard pursuant to subsection (c); and the final standard, once that standard has been established under subsection (c). The interim standard for equestrian helmets is the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM)standard designated as F1163. Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shall begin a proceeding under section 553 of title 5, United States Code, to— establish a final standard for equestrian helmets that incorporates all the requirements of the interim standard specified in subsection (b); provide in the final standard a mandate that all approved equestrian helmets be certified to the requirements promulgated under the final standard by an organization that is accredited to certify personal protection equipment in accordance with ISO Guide 65; and include in the final standard any additional provisions that the Commission considers appropriate. Sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2056 and 2058) shall not apply to the proceeding under this subsection, and section 11 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2060) shall not apply with respect to any standard issued under such proceeding. The final standard shall take effect not later than 1 year after the date it is issued. Until the final standard takes effect, an equestrian helmet that does not meet the interim standard, required under subsection (a)(1), shall be considered in violation of a consumer product safety standard promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety Act. The final standard developed under subsection
(c)shall be considered a consumer product safety standard promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety Act.
