IV. What Action is EPA Taking?

EPA is extending the comment period

for alkyl-lead an additional 60 days. On

November 16, 1998, EPA released its

Agency-wide Multimedia Strategy for

Priority Persistent, Bioaccumulative,

and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants (PBT

Strategy). The goal of the PBT Strategy

is to identify and reduce risks to human

health and the environment from

current and future exposure to priority

PBT pollutants. This document serves

as the Draft National Action Plan for

Alkyl-Lead, one of the 12 Level 1

priority PBT pollutants identified for

the initial focus of action in the PBT

Strategy.

EPA is requesting public comment on

a strategy to address the remaining risks

to human health and the environment

from exposure to alkyl-lead: (1)

Contribute to international efforts to

reduce the use of alkyl-lead world-wide;

(2) pursue voluntary initiatives to

reduce the use of alkyl-lead in aircraft

gasoline, race cars, and non-road

vehicles such as farm machinery,

marine vessels, construction equipment,

and recreational vehicles; and (3) collect

information as possible, given resource

constraints, related to production, use,

emissions, and continued exposure

scenarios.
