Customers incur postage costs when 

submitting the information in paper 

format. The USPTO estimates that the 

majority (98%) of paper submissions are 

submitted via United States Postal 

Service first-class mail. The USPTO 

estimates these submissions will weigh 

approximately one ounce with a firstclass postage rate of 44 cents. Out of 

5,859 paper submissions, the USPTO 

estimates that 5,741 will be mailed, for 

a total non-hour respondent cost burden 

of $2,526 in postage costs.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Meeting of Chronic Hazard 

Advisory Panel on Phthalates and 

Phthalate Substitutes 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (‘‘CPSC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) announces the fourth 

meeting of the Chronic Hazard Advisory 

Panel (CHAP) on phthalates and 

phthalate substitutes. The Commission 

appointed this CHAP to study the 

effects on children’s health of all 

phthalates and phthalate alternatives as 

used in children’s toys and child care 

articles, pursuant to section 108 of the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act of 2008 (CPSIA) (Pub. L. 110–314). 

DATES: The meeting will be held on 

Wednesday, March 30, 2011, and 

Thursday, March 31, 2011. The meeting 

will begin at approximately 8 a.m. on 

both days. It will end at approximately 

5 p.m. on Wednesday and at 

approximately 3 p.m. on Thursday. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

Room 410 at the Commission’s offices at 

4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 

20814. 

Registration and Webcast: Members of 

the public who wish to attend the 

meeting may register on the day of the 

meeting. There will not be any 

opportunity for public participation at 

this meeting. A live Webcast will not be

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices 13989 

available. However, the meeting will be 

recorded and posted on the CPSC’s Web 

site.

Michael Babich, Directorate for Health 

Sciences, U.S. Consumer Product Safety 

Commission, Bethesda, MD 20814;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

108 of the CPSIA permanently prohibits 

the sale of any ‘‘children’s toy or child 

care article’’ containing more than 0.1 

percent of each of three specified 

phthalates—di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 

(DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and 

benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Section 

108 of the CPSIA also prohibits, on an 

interim basis, the sale of any ‘‘children’s 

toy that can be placed in a child’s 

mouth’’ or ‘‘child care article’’ containing 

more than 0.1 percent of each of three 

additional phthalates—diisononyl 

phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate 

(DIDP), and di-n-octyl phthalate 

(DNOP). 

Moreover, section 108 of the CPSIA 

requires the Commission to convene a 

CHAP ‘‘to study the effects on children’s 

health of all phthalates and phthalate 

alternatives as used in children’s toys 

and child care articles.’’ The CPSIA 

requires the CHAP to complete an 

examination of the full range of 

phthalates that are used in products for 

children and: 

• Examine all of the potential health 

effects (including endocrine disrupting 

effects) of the full range of phthalates; 

• Consider the potential health effects 

of each of these phthalates, both in 

isolation and in combination with other 

phthalates; 

• Examine the likely levels of 

children’s, pregnant women’s, and 

others’ exposure to phthalates, based 

upon a reasonable estimation of normal 

and foreseeable use and abuse of such 

products; 

• Consider the cumulative effect of 

total exposure to phthalates, from 

children’s products and from other 

sources, such as personal care products; 

• Review all relevant data, including 

the most recent, best available, peerreviewed, scientific studies of these 

phthalates and phthalate alternatives 

that employ objective data-collection 

practices or employ other objective 

methods; 

• Consider the health effects of 

phthalates not only from ingestion but 

also as a result of dermal, hand-tomouth, or other exposure; 

• Consider the level at which there is 

a reasonable certainty of no harm to 

children, pregnant women, or other 

susceptible individuals and their 

offspring, reviewing the best available 

science, and using sufficient safety 

factors to account for uncertainties 

regarding exposure and susceptibility of 

children, pregnant women, and other 

potentially susceptible individuals; and 

• Consider possible similar health 

effects of phthalate alternatives used in 

children’s toys and child care articles. 

The CPSIA contemplates completion 

of the CHAP’s examination within 18 

months of the panel’s appointment. The 

CHAP must review prior work on 

phthalates by the Commission, but the 

prior work is not to be considered 

determinative, as the CHAP’s 

examination must be conducted de 

novo. 

The CHAP must make 

recommendations to the Commission 

which phthalates (or combinations of 

phthalates) in addition to those 

identified in section 108 of the CPSIA 

or phthalate alternatives that the panel 

determines should be prohibited from 

use in children’s toys or child care 

articles or otherwise restricted. The 

CHAP members were selected by the 

Commission from scientists nominated 

by the National Academy of Sciences. 

See 15 U.S.C. 2077, 2030(b). 

The CHAP met previously in April, 

July, and December 2010. The CHAP 

heard testimony from interested parties 

at the July meeting. The March 2011 

meeting will include discussion of the 

CHAP’s progress toward its analysis of 

potential risks from phthalates and 

phthalate substitutes. There will not be 

any opportunity for public comment at 

the March 30–31 meeting. 

Dated: March 10, 2011.

Secretary.
