(301)504-7517. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 212 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-314) (“CPSIA”) requires the Commission to establish and maintain a product safety information database that is available to the public. Specifically, section 212 of the CPSIA amended the Consumer Product Safety Act (“CPSA”) to create a new section 6A of the CPSA, titled “Publicly Available Consumer Product Safety Information Database” (“Database”). Section 6A(a)(1) of the CPSA requires the Commission to establish and maintain a database on the safety of consumer products, and other products or substances regulated by the Commission. The Database must be publicly available, searchable, and accessible through the Commission's Web site. In the **Federal Register** of December 9, 2010 (75 FR 76832), we published a final rule to establish the Database. The final rule will become effective on January 10, 2011. Through this notice, we are announcing that we will conduct two Web conferences to demonstrate certain aspects of the Database. 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. The Web conference is intended to inform all interested 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. 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. Persons interested in viewing either Web conference or attending a webcast in person should register in advance as explained in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. The CPSC Web link at *http://www.cpsc.gov/meetingsignup.html* has more information about the demonstrations. Dated: January 3, 2011. Todd A. Stevenson, Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
