As noted in January's CPSC Monitor, Chairman Hal Stratton mentioned, among others, three strategic goals for the agency in 2004. They are: (1) reducing residential fires, (2) reducing childhood drownings in and around the home, and (3) reducing the number of carbon monoxide deaths.

The strategic goals are reflected in the new Fiscal 2004 Operating and Performance Plan the Commission adopted in February.

Under the Residential Fires Strategic Goal, CPSC plans to accelerate its work on upholstered furniture and mattress/bedding projects. It will also continue work on smoke alarm research, including contractor work on wireless technology for smoke alarms.
