Assessment of Public Comment
The Consumer Protection Board received three (3) comment submissions. The comments were received from Utica National Insurance Group, Onondaga Cortland Madison (OCM) BOCES and Tompkins Seneca Tioga (TST) BOCES. The comments from Utica National related to the publication and effective date of the Rule as well as the availability of any educational information on compliance. Comments received from TST and OCM BOCES related to the drafting of law and suggested that the law should have been drafted to reflect compliance with American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards instead of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Handbook for Public Playground Safety.
The CPB has received no substantive comment regarding the text of the Rule. Further, the proposed rule is necessary to comply with General Business Law Section 399-dd.
