The Commission will accept the record of the prior proceeding, for which Notices of Propose Rule development appeared on January 12, 2007 and March 9, 2007, at the hearing identified below.

SUMMARY:

The rule specifically fabric storm panels as within the scope of the rule; designates requirements for products subject to testing standards and subject to rational analysis; specifies information required in relation to installation instructions for windows; defines and delineates administrative and technical validation of information submitted in support of an application for approval of a product by the Commission, specifies a schedule of sanctions to be imposed by the Commission against validators that violate this rule, eliminates the authorization for testing laboratories to serve as validators; and adopts, by reference, updated validation checklists.
