apply to ROVs. (79 FR 68964). The Commission issued the proposed rule 
under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). In 
response to requests for an extension of the comment period by the 
Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) and the Outdoor 
Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the Commission extended the comment 
period to April 8, 2015. (80 FR 3535 (January 23, 2015)). ROHVA and 
OPEI have each requested another extension to the comment period. ROHVA 
asked for additional time to review documents provided by the 
Commission. OPEI noted a need for additional time for OPEI to complete 
and review ``round robin'' testing that OPEI is conducting to gauge the 
reproducibility and repeatability of tests the Commission proposed in 
the NPR. The Commission has considered the requests and is extending 
the comment period until June 19, 2015.
