United States Consumer Product Safety Commission 2007 Performance Budget Request. Savings Lives and Keeping Families Safe.

摘要

For the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) 2007 performance budget, we are requesting $62,370,000. This is the same funding level as our final 2006 appropriation. With level funding for 2007, our funded FTE staffing level will be 420, a decrease of 20 FTEs. Staffing is reduced to meet the increased costs of doing business at projected 2007 prices. We are continuing our important work on identifying product hazards and their causes, which is the basis for finding solutions to those hazards. We are working with industry and consumers to address products already identified as presenting a risk of injury or death, such as our rulemaking activities in the fire safety area. We are continuing to ensure that both domestic and foreign firms comply with our safety laws and regulations and we are continuing to advance U.S. safety standards with countries, such as China, that export their products to the United States. We will also continue to review our priorities to reflect our reduced FTE level.
