SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

President’s Task Force 

On April 21, 1997, the President 

issued Executive Order 13045,1

establishing the President’s Task Force 

on Environmental Health Risks and 

Safety Risks to Children. The Task Force 

works to identify children’s 

environmental health and safety issues, 

develops federal interagency strategies 

to protect children’s environmental 

health and safety, and communicates 

information to federal, state, and local 

decision makers to protect children 

from environmental health risks.2

Among other things, the Task Force is 

developing a comprehensive strategy to 

further reduce lead exposure in 

children’s environments.3 The Task 

Force has 11 executive agency members 

and 7 Executive Office of the President 

agency members.4 Ongoing activities of 

the Task Force are managed by its 

Senior Staff Steering Committee, cochaired by the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and Health and Human 

Services (HHS). The Senior Staff 

Steering Committee has established five 

subcommittees, one of which is the 

Lead Subcommittee, which is cochaired by HUD, EPA, and HHS staff. 

Lead Reports by the Task Force 

In February 2000, the Task Force 

published ‘‘Eliminating Childhood Lead 

Poisoning: A Federal Strategy Targeting 

Lead Paint Hazards.’’ 5 The strategy put 

forward a set of recommendations 

aimed at eliminating childhood lead 

poisoning in the United States as a 

major public health problem by the year 

2010. It focused primarily on expanding 

efforts to correct lead paint hazards 

(especially in low-income housing), a 

major source of lead exposure for 

children. Addressing lead exposures in 

the United States, however, requires 

consideration of sources of lead 

exposure in addition to lead paint, 

including, among others, soil, food, 

drinking water, and consumer products. 

In November 2016, the Task Force 

published ‘‘Key Federal Programs to 

Reduce Childhood Lead Exposures and

6The report is available at: https://

ptfceh.niehs.nih.gov/features/assets/files/key_

federal_programs_to_reduce_childhood_lead_

exposures_and_eliminate_associated_health_

impactspresidents_508.pdf. 

7A starting point for developing actions could be 

the list of over 58 current and planned Federal 

programs and activities in Section 7 of the 

November 2016 inventory report. The actions under 

the strategy would not be limited to those programs 

and activities in the inventory report. Similarly, not 

all those programs and activities need to be 

mentioned in the strategy because of the need to 

keep the strategy to manageable size and focus. But 

such a decision should not be used to infer that the 

Task Force considers that any programs or activities 

not mentioned are less important than those 

mentioned. 

Eliminate Associated Health Impacts.’’ 6

This inventory report summarized the 

efforts of nine federal departments and 

agencies currently planned or underway 

to understand, prevent, and reduce 

various sources of lead exposure among 

children. These efforts include a wide 

range of activities such as research, 

surveillance, regulation, and 

enforcement, as well as community 

interventions and educational outreach. 

The report also provided a basis for 

increased coordination and 

collaboration among multiple federal 

agencies that, as with previous progress 

on the issue of lead exposures, will be 

required to further protect the nation’s 

children. 

Development of a Comprehensive 

Federal Lead Strategy 

The Task Force determined that the 

inventory report provides a starting 

point for the development of a 

comprehensive federal lead strategy that 

will inform policy makers about 

evidence gaps and steps needed to 

further reduce lead exposures in 

children in the United States. The Task 

Force charged its Lead Subcommittee 

with drafting the strategy, conducting 

outreach to stakeholder groups, and 

soliciting comments from stakeholders 

for consideration in developing the 

strategy. This Request for Information 

(RFI) is part of the comment solicitation 

process. 

II. Key Components of the Draft Federal 

Lead Strategy 

1. A vision of this new federal lead 

strategy, such as to ensure that the 

United States will become a place where 

children live, learn and play free from 

the harmful effects of lead exposure. 

2. A mission of the strategy, such as 

to improve the health of children in the 

United States, through federal 

collaboration, by eliminating harm from 

lead exposure. 

3. A background section that includes 

the following topics: The Task Force, its 

lead activities, including development 

of its 2000 federal lead paint strategy, 

2016 inventory report, and this strategy; 

the problems to be addressed by this 

strategy; children’s lead exposure, 

including exposure sources, routes, and 

pathways; lead doses and blood-lead 

levels lead toxicity, and children’s 

health effects; and federal lead and 

related (e.g., environmental justice, fair 

housing, civil rights) statutes, 

regulations, policy, and guidance. 

4. A set of goals for the strategy, such 

as to effect the following: Reducing 

sources of lead exposure in children’s 

environments; improving identification 

and monitoring of lead exposed 

children; improving the health of 

children identified as lead-exposed; 

communicating effectively and 

consistently with stakeholders about 

childhood lead exposure; supporting or 

conducting research to advance our 

scientific understanding of the effects, 

evaluation, and control of lead hazards 

in children’s environments. 

5. Under each of the goals, a set of 

objectives that would further define the 

focus of this strategy. 

6. Under each of the objectives, 

specific actions that would further the 

enumerated goals of the strategy.7

III. Request for Information 

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit 

feedback on developing the new federal 

lead strategy report. HUD encourages 

participation from stakeholder groups, 

including the general public; nongovernmental organizations, including 

philanthropic organizations; health care 

providers; the housing industry; the 

general aviation industry; health 

economics researchers; outcomes 

researchers; environmental firms, 

including certified lead professionals; 

and lead hazard control firms. 

While HUD, as co-chair of the Lead 

Subcommittee, welcomes comments on 

all aspects of the drafting of a new 

federal lead strategy, HUD is 

particularly interested in receiving 

comments and data on the following: 

1. Priority Risks and Goals 

a. What priority risks, for example, 

exposures from housing, air, water, soil, 

food, etc., and issues should be 

addressed in a new federal lead 

strategy? 

b. Should any of the suggested goals 

above be deleted or revised, and/or 

should any goals be added? Within the 

suggested goals above (as stated, or as 

you would revise them), or additional 

goals, what specific objectives should be 

identified? 

2. Strategy Development and 

Implementation 

a. What actions should be 

implemented to address these priority 

risks and issues? 

b. What obstacles should be 

considered in determining which 

actions to include in the strategy? What 

obstacles pertain to one or more goals, 

objectives, or actions? Please be specific 

about the anticipated impact of the 

obstacles. 

c. How can the obstacles be 

overcome? What effect, if any, would 

the effort to overcome these obstacles 

have on the ability to achieve the goals 

of the strategy? 

3. Messaging and Outreach 

a. What federal agency messaging 

regarding lead exposure in children, 

including information on where lead is 

found and how to avoid exposure, have 

been useful in the past and to which 

audiences? How could such messaging 

be improved? 

b. Which non-Federal partners should 

the Task Force consult with to address 

the environmental health risks and 

safety risks of lead exposure to children, 

and why? Please identify specific 

organizations, or categories of 

organizations.

Public Land Order No. 7863; Partial 

Revocation of Public Land Order No. 

3708; Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Public Land Order. 

SUMMARY: This order revokes Public 

Land Order No. 3708, insofar as it 

affects 709.17 acres of public lands near 

Fairbanks, Alaska, which reserved lands 

for use by the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

The NOAA has determined the lands 

are no longer needed for the purpose for 

which they were withdrawn. 

DATES: This Public Land Order is 

effective on October 24, 2017.

available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 

to leave a message or question with the 

above individual. You will receive a 

reply during normal business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NOAA has determined that 709.17 acres 

of land withdrawn by Public Land 

Order No. 3708 is excess to its needs 

and has requested a partial revocation of 

the withdrawal. Upon revocation, the 

selection applications made by the State 

of Alaska under the Alaska Statehood 

Act and the Alaska National Interest 

Lands Conservation Act become 

effective without further action by the 

State, if such land is otherwise 

available. Lands selected by, but not 

conveyed to, the State are subject to the 

terms and conditions of Public Land 

Order No. 5186 (37 FR 5589, March 16, 

1972), as amended, and any other 

withdrawal, application, or segregation 

of record. The partial revocation of the 

withdrawal will not result in a 

significant restriction on subsistence 

uses while the lands remain in Federal 

ownership. Any significant restriction 

on subsistence uses, due to subsequent 

conveyance of the lands to the State of 

Alaska, would be unavoidable under 

Section 810(c) of the Alaska National 

Interest Lands Conservation Act because 

the lands would be conveyed pursuant 

to the Alaska Statehood Act. 

Order 

By virtue of the authority vested in 

the Secretary of the Interior by Section 

204 of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.

Land Order No. 7682 (72 FR 71940 

(2007)), extended by Public Land Order 

No. 7710 (73 FR 35708 (2008)), and 

partially revoked by Public Land Order 

No. 7763 (76 FR 23334 (2011)), which 

withdrew public land from all forms of
