CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0080] 

Children’s Products Containing Lead; 

Technological Feasibility of 100 ppm 

for Lead Content; Notice, Reopening of 

the Hearing Record 

AGENCY: U.S. Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice, reopening of the hearing 

record. 

SUMMARY: Section 101(a) of the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act (‘‘CPSIA’’) provides that, as of 

August 14, 2011, children’s products 

may not contain more than 100 parts per 

million (‘‘ppm’’) of lead unless the U.S. 

Consumer Product Safety Commission 

(‘‘CPSC,’’ ‘‘Commission,’’ or ‘‘we’’) 

determines that such a limit is not 

technologically feasible. The 

Commission may make such a 

determination only after notice and a 

hearing and after analyzing the public 

health protections associated with 

substantially reducing lead in children’s 

products. On February 16, 2011, the 

Commission conducted a public hearing 

to receive views from all interested 

parties about the technological 

feasibility of meeting the 100 ppm lead 

content limit for children’s products 

and associated public health 

considerations. Individual 

Commissioners requested at the hearing 

that certain participants respond to 

additional questions in writing, as well 

as submit relevant studies and 

additional data referenced in oral 

presentations. Accordingly, through this 

notice, the Commission is reopening the 

hearing record until March 24, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Supplemental Materials

0080 may be submitted by any of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

101(a)(2)(C) of the CPSIA (15 U.S.C. 

1278a(a)(2)(C)) provides that, as of 

August 14, 2011, children’s products 

may not contain more than 100 parts per 

million (ppm) of lead unless the 

Commission determines that such a 

limit is not technologically feasible. The 

Commission may make this 

determination only after notice and a 

hearing and after analyzing the public 

health protections associated with 

substantially reducing lead in children’s 

products. Section 101(d) of the CPSIA 

(15 U.S.C. 1278a(d)) provides that a lead 

limit shall be deemed technologically 

feasible with regard to a product or 

product category if: 

(1) A product that complies with the 

limit is commercially available in the 

product category; 

(2) Technology to comply with the 

limit is commercially available to 

manufacturers or is otherwise available 

within the common meaning of the 

term; 

(3) Industrial strategies or devices 

have been developed that are capable or 

will be capable of achieving such a limit 

by the effective date of the limit and that 

companies, acting in good faith, are 

generally capable of adopting; or 

(4) Alternative practices, best 

practices, or other operational changes 

would allow the manufacturer to 

comply with the limit. 

In the Federal Register of January 26, 

2011 (76 FR 4641), we published a 

notice (‘‘hearing notice’’) announcing 

that the Commission would hold a 

public hearing pursuant to section 

101(a) of the CPSIA. The hearing notice 

stated that the Commission was seeking 

information on specific issues, such as 

whether any product or product

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Notices 12945 

category already complies with the 100 

ppm limit and what factors or 

considerations we should evaluate in 

deciding whether a technology is 

‘‘commercially available.’’ 

We held the hearing on February 16, 

2011. We heard presentations by and 

received comments from consumer 

groups, manufacturers, associations, and 

laboratories regarding the technological 

feasibility of meeting the 100 ppm lead 

content limit. At the hearing, individual 

Commissioners requested that certain 

participants respond to additional 

questions in writing and submit relevant 

studies and additional data. Through 

this notice, we are announcing that we 

have placed individual Commissioner’s 

additional questions into the docket and 

will place any responses into the 

docket. The questions submitted and 

responses that are received will be made 

available on http://www.regulations.gov 

under Docket No. CPSC–2010–0080, 

Supporting and Related Material. The 

Commission will consider any 

additional material received during the 

reopening of the hearing record, in 

addition to information collected at the 

hearing, in the course of evaluating its 

response. The Commission is reopening 

the hearing record to add individual 

Commissioner’s questions to the docket 

and allow for responses to those 

questions, and so the hearing record 

will remain open until March 24, 2011. 

Dated: March 3, 2011.

These risk management instructions 

provide Federal agencies and programs 

with practical direction on how to 

assess risks and identify opportunities 

to improve performance and resource 

efficiency posed by the changing 

climate. With this gained knowledge, 

Federal agencies can ensure that Federal 

resources are invested wisely and that 

Federal services and operations remain

instructions are written to allow 

adaptation planning to occur within 

existing agency management 

frameworks and budgets. The
