The STURDY law (15 U.S.C. 2056f) directs the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) to promulgate rulemaking for clothing storage units (CSUs). A CSU is defined as a “any free-standing furniture item manufactured in the United States or imported for use in the United States that is intended for the storage of clothing, typical of bedroom furniture.” Pursuant to STURDY, CPSC published a final rule in the Federal Register (88 FR 28403, May 4, 2023) that incorporates by reference ASTM F2057. The requirements are codified at 16 CFR part 1261 and include warning labels that contain certain statements and pictograms. These requirements fall within the definition of “collection of information,” as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3).
