SEC. 2. LABELING STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.

On October 1, 1994, or 240 days after the date of the enactment of
this title, whichever first occurs, there is established and effective
a consumer product safety standard under section 9 of the Consumer
Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058), to eliminate or reduce the risk of
injury or death resulting from infants falling into 4-gallon to 6-
gallon buckets containing liquid. Such standard, when established,
shall require straight sided or slightly tapered, open head containers
with a capacity of more than 4 gallons and less than 6 gallons
(referred to in this Act as a ''bucket''), to bear one warning label in
English and Spanish. The label shall meet the following requirements:
(1) The label shall be permanent so that such label cannot
be removed, torn or defaced without the aid of tools or
solvents.
(2) The label shall be at least 7 inches in height, and
3/2\ inches in width, or any larger size as the labeler may
choose.
(3) The label shall be centered on one side of the bucket
just below the point where the handle is inserted.
(4) The label shall have a border or other form of contrast
around its edges to delineate it from any other information on
the bucket.
(5) The label shall bear (A) the signal word ''WARNING'' in
both English and Spanish, in bold uppercase lettering, and (B)
in upper and lower case lettering the words ''Children Can Fall
Into Bucket and Drown. Keep Children Away From Buckets With
Even a Small Amount of Liquid.'', with an equivalent Spanish
translation in at least the same type size as English. The
signal word panel shall be preceded by a safety alert symbol
consisting of an exclamation mark in a triangle.
(6) The label shall be clear and conspicuous and in
contrasting colors.
(7) The label shall include a picture of a child falling
into a bucket containing liquid. An encircled slash symbol
shall be superimposed over, and surround the pictorial. The
picture shall be positioned between the signal word panel and
the message panel.

SEC. 3. CERTAIN BUCKETS NOT AFFECTED.

The standard established by section 2 applies only to buckets
manufactured or imported on or after the effective date of such
standard, and buckets manufactured or imported before such effective
date may be sold without the warning label required by section 2 even
though such sales occur after that date. The Consumer Product Safety
Commission, by rule, shall prohibit a manufacturer, filler,
distributor, and retailer from stockpiling buckets to which consumer
product safety standards established by section 2 of this title would
have applied but for the preceding sentence. For purposes of this
section, the term ''stockpiling'' shall have the same meaning as that
provided by section 9(g)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act.

SEC. 4. PROHIBITED ACTS.

(a) Removal of Label.--Once placed on a bucket pursuant to the
standard provided by section 2, it shall be a prohibited act under
section 19 of the Consumer Product Safety Act for any person in the
chain of distribution of the bucket to intentionally cover, obstruct,
tear, deface or remove the label.
(b) Consumer Product Safety Standard.--The standard established by
section 2 of this title shall be considered a consumer product safety
standard established under the Consumer Product Safety Act.

SEC. 5. EXISTING LABELS.

Notwithstanding section 2, any bucket label in use on September 1,
1993, may, if such label is substantially in conformance with the
requirements of paragraphs (3), (4), (5), and (6) of section 2,
continue to be placed on buckets until 12 months after the date of the
enactment of this title. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
buckets subject to the provisions of this section must bear both an
English and Spanish language label on and after the effective date of
the standard established by section 2.

SEC. 6. AMENDMENTS.

Section 553 of title 5, United States Code, shall apply with
respect to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's issuance of any
amendments or changes to the bucket labeling standard established by
section 2 of this title. Sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product
Safety Act shall not apply to such amendments or changes.

SEC. 7. RESPONSIBILITY FOR LABELING.

(a) Labeling.--The standard established by section 2 requires the
labeling of buckets covered by such standard to be the responsibility
of the manufacturer of any such buckets, unless otherwise specified by
contract between the manufacturer, and either the filler, distributor,
or retailer of such buckets. Under no circumstances shall any such
bucket enter the stream of commerce without such label.
(b) Time for Placing Labels.--The required label must be on the
bucket at the time it is sold or delivered to the end user of the
bucket or its contents or, in the case of a bucket intended to be sold
to the public in an empty state, at the time it is shipped to a
retailer for sale to the public.

SEC. 8. PERFORMANCE STANDARD.

(a) Performance Standard.--Within 30 days following the date of
enactment of this title, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shall
commence a proceeding under the Consumer Product Safety Act for the
issuance of a performance standard for buckets to address the drowning
hazard associated with this product. Section 553 of title 5, United
States Code, shall apply with respect to the issuance of such standard.
Sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act shall not apply to
the issuance of such standard. Such standard shall take effect at such
time as may be prescribed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission,
but in no event later than 15 months following the date of the
enactment of this title. The Consumer Product Safety Commission shall
consider any American Society for Testing and Materials voluntary
performance standard in existence prior to such date of enactment.
(b) Labeling Requirements.--The labeling requirements under section
2 shall not apply to buckets certified by the Consumer Product Safety
Commission as meeting the performance standard in subsection (a).

SEC. 9. CONSULTATION.

To avoid duplicative and conflicting labeling, the Consumer Product
Safety Commission shall complete a consultation with relevant Federal
agencies within 30 days following the date of enactment of this Act.

SEC. 10. REQUIREMENT FOR CPSC STUDY.

(a) The Consumer Product Safety Commission shall conduct a study to
determine:
(1) consumer use patterns of new and used 4- to 6- gallon
steel and metal buckets; and
(2) the prevalence of incidents of death or injury to
children associated with the use of such containers.
The study also shall be designed to identify use patterns that may
signify that such containers are being used by consumers in and around
a household, residence, school or otherwise. The study shall be
completed within 12 months of the date of enactment. The study shall be
repeated for two consecutive years following completion of the initial
study. The study shall be repeated if necessary to track any changes in
use patterns or to identify incidents of death or injury.
(b) During the pendency of this study and in the absence of any
regulation of 4- to 6-gallon containers by the Commission thereafter,
metal containers which would otherwise be required to comply with the
labeling requirements of section 3 are exempt from such requirements.
For the purposes of section 26 of the Consumer Product Safety Act, such
exemption shall be considered a consumer product safety standard. Upon
review of the results of the study, the CPSC shall decide whether to
continue this exemption, to require compliance by metal containers, or
to consider further study in the future.

SOLUTION: Bucket Drowning Prevention Act of 1993 - Establishes a consumer product safety standard requiring four- to six-gallon buckets to bear a warning label that includes a picture of a child falling into a bucket and the words, in English and Spanish: "WARNING. Children Can Fall into Bucket and Drown. Keep Children Away From Buckets With Even a Small Amount of Liquid."
Exempts buckets manufactured or imported before the effective date of this labeling standard. Requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to prohibit a manufacturer, filler, distributor, and retailer from stockpiling such buckets.
Requires the Commission to conduct a study to determine: (1) consumer use patterns of new and used four- to six-gallon steel and metal buckets; and (2) the prevalence of incidents of death or injury to children associated with their use. Exempts metal containers from the labeling requirements of this Act during the pendency of the study and in the absence of any regulation of four- to six-gallon containers by the Commission thereafter. Requires the Commission, upon the review of the results of the study, to decide whether to continue this exemption, to require compliance by metal containers, or to consider a further study.
