Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 193 / Friday, October 6, 2017 / Proposed Rules 46741 

1The petitioner also requests that the 

Commission require purchasers to acknowledge 

having read product warnings and assent to the risk 

of injury when purchasing magnet sets online. 

Under Section 7 of the CPSA, the Commission may 

issue only performance requirements and 

requirements for warnings or instructions. 

Therefore, the Commission lacks authority to 

require these additional provisions. 

2The petitioner also requests the following age 

restriction requirements for magnet sets that do not 

conform to the requested physical safety standards: 

(1) Prohibit the sale of magnet sets to users under 

14 years old, and (2) require that only adults be 

permitted to buy magnet sets. Again, Section 7 of 

the CPSA authorizes the Commission to issue only 

performance requirements and warning 

requirements. Therefore, the Commission lacks 

authority to adopt these restrictions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

17, 2017, Zen Magnets, LLC (petitioner) 

submitted a petition requesting that the 

Commission initiate rulemaking to 

adopt a safety standard for highpowered magnet sets under Sections 7 

and 9 of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2056, 

2058) to address the hazard associated 

with these products if ingested, 

aspirated, or otherwise inserted into the 

body. 

The petitioner describes the product 

as small rare earth magnets of various 

shapes, sizes, and flux indices (i.e., 

magnetic strength) that are commonly 

sold as sets designed to make 

sculptures, provide therapeutic benefits, 

or serve as educational or research tools. 

The petitioner states that there are 

magnet sets on the market that are 

approximately 5 millimeters in diameter 

and have flux indices greater than 50 

kG2mm2. According to the petitioner, 

magnet sets are not designed, marketed, 

manufactured, or intended for use by 

children under the age of 14 years. 

The petitioner asserts that highpowered magnet sets pose a risk of 

injury if misused in a way that results 

in ingesting, aspirating, or otherwise 

inserting more than one magnet into the 

body. The petitioner notes that one 

potential injury that can result from 

ingesting high-powered magnets is 

damage to gastrointestinal tissue. 

The petitioner requests that CPSC 

promulgate a mandatory safety standard 

that includes the following: 

• Performance standards. Require 

individual magnets and each magnet in 

a magnet set that fits entirely within the 

cylinder described in 16 CFR 1501.4 

(small parts cylinder) to have a flux 

index of 50 kG2mm2 or less if the 

product is designed, marketed, or 

manufactured for children under the age 

of 14 years. Establish standards for 

magnet set packaging, such as requiring 

packaging to be difficult for children to 

open and assist users in determining 

whether all magnets are returned to the 

package after use. According to the 

petitioner, these requirements would 

limit the magnetic strength of magnets 

so that they would not attach across 

internal tissue if ingested and would 

assist users in limiting children’s access 

to the magnets. 

• Warning requirements.1 Require 

magnet sets to bear warnings that 

conform to specific form requirements, 

warn of the ingestion hazard, and 

indicate the product is not intended for 

children. Require warnings on product 

packaging, including in a location that 

requires a user to see the warning when 

opening the package. 

• Instructional requirements. Require 

magnet sets to include instructions that 

indicate how to avoid using the magnet 

set in a way that can lead to ingesting, 

aspirating, or inserting the magnets into 

the body and how to return magnets to 

the packaging. 

• Age restrictions.2 Require warnings 

and instructions for magnet sets to 

include an age recommendation of 14 

years or older. 

The Commission seeks comments 

concerning this petition. 

The petition is available at: http://

www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. 

CPSC–2017–0037, Supporting and 

Related Materials. Alternatively, 

interested parties may obtain a copy of 

the petition by writing or calling the

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

elements of a State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) revision from the State of Missouri 

for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Section 

110 of the CAA requires that each state 

adopt and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each new or revised 

NAAQS promulgated by EPA. These 

SIPs are commonly referred to as 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIPs. The infrastructure 

requirements are designed to ensure that 

the structural components of each 

state’s air quality management program 

are adequate to meet the state’s 

responsibilities under the CAA. In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

Federal Register, we are approving the 

state’s SIP revisions as a direct final rule 

without a prior proposed rule. If we 

receive no adverse comment, we will 

not take further action on this proposed 

rule. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

November 6, 2017.
