superflykidz, though I hate to be pessimistic, I'd tend to agree with pastperfect. While they may not actually lift the stay, unless changes are made congressionally, I would think they may allow the stays to expire in Feb '10. These are people from the groups (to include the Democratic party and consumers groups) who support the CPSIA wholeheartedly, as written. There is, of course, the chance that congressional Democrats will work with industry (including cottage, artisinal, and micro businesses) to effect some meaningful and positive revisions to the Act now that Ms. Nord has stepped down, one of their *demands*.
That said, I'm going to try to stay positive and hope that this will work out.
