Fisheries of the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean; Southeastern Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) Steering Committee Meeting., 38884-38885 [E5-3546]

Download as PDF 38884 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2005 / Notices in accordance with Title IV of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.). Pursuant to the provisions of Section 104(c)(3)(A) of the MMPA and implementing regulations at 50 CFR 216.33(e)(6), NMFS has issued this permit amendment without making the application available for a 30–day public comment period. Specifically, these provisions allow NMFS to waive the comment period in a situation where the health and life of an ESAlisted marine mammal is threatened and no reasonable alternative is available. Whereas the MMPA provides authorization for federal, state, and local government officials to take marine mammals in a humane manner if such taking is for the protection or welfare of the mammal, there are no comparable provisions under the ESA. Without this permit amendment, there would be no permit allowing for proper response to imperiled ESA-listed marine mammals. NMFS therefore determined that there was a compelling reason for waiving the 30–day public review and comment period on the application. Issuance of this permit, as required by the ESA, was based on a finding that such permit: (1) Was applied for in good faith; (2) will not operate to the disadvantage of such endangered species; and (3) is consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA.

AGENCY: SUMMARY: It is the policy of the Commission to publish settlements which it provisionally accepts under the Consumer Product Safety Act in the Federal Register in accordance with the terms of 16 CFR § 1118.20(e). Published below is a provisionally-accepted Settlement Agreement with Rose Art Industries, Inc., a corporation, containing a civil penalty of $300,000.00. Any interested person may ask the Commission not to accept this agreement or otherwise comment on its contents by filing a written request with the Office of the Secretary by July 21, 2005. DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this Settlement Agreement should send written comments to the Comment 05–C0009, Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald G. Yelnik, Trial Attorney, Office of Compliance, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207; telephone (301) 504–7582. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The text of the Agreement and Order appears below. ADDRESSES: Dated: June 30, 2005. Todd A. Stevenson, Secretary. 1. This Settlement Agreement is made by and between the staff (the ‘‘staff’’) of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) and Rose Art Industries, Inc. (‘‘Rose Art’’ or ‘‘Respondent’’), a corporation, in accordance with 16 CFR section 1118.20 of the Commission’s procedures for Investigations, Inspections, and Inquiries under the Consumer Product Safety Act (‘‘CPSA’’). This Settlement Agreement and the incorporated attached Order settle the staff’s allegations set forth below. The Parties 2. The Commission is an independent federal regulatory agency responsible for the enforcement of the Consumer BILLING CODE 3510–22–S 17:28 Jul 05, 2005 [CPSC Docket No. 05–C0009] Settlement Agreement and Order Special Accommodations VerDate jul<14>2003 CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION Jkt 205001 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 38885 Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. sections 2051–2084. 3. Rose Art is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey with its principal corporate offices located in Livingston, New Jersey. Respondent manufactures are materials, toys and stationery products. Staff Allegations 4. Between August 1997 and December 2001, Rose Art manufactured and sold nationwide approximately 124,000 Glamour Gear Soap Making Kits, models 4054 and 4121 (the ‘‘Kit(s)’’ or the ‘‘product(s)’’. Each Kit includes bars of soap, molds, and a plastic cup to melt soap chunks. These Kits are intended for use by children eight years of age and older. 5. The Kits are ‘‘consumer products’’ and Respondent is a ‘‘manufacturer’’ of ‘‘consumer products,’’ which were ‘‘distributed in commerce’’ as those terms are defined in sections 3(a)(1), (4), (11) and (12) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(1), (4), (11), and (12). 6. The Kits are defective because the plastic cup used to heat the soap in a microwave oven may become deformed or develop a hole in the bottom, causing the hot soap contained therein to leak from the cup. If this occurs, young children and others may sustain serious burn injuries. 7. Between January 1998 and January 2002, Rose Art received reports of 10 children who were burned by hot soap while removing the plastic cup from a microwave oven. The majority of these children sustained second and third degree burns. 8. Despite being aware of the aforementioned reports, Rose Art did not inform the Commission about this information until February 14, 2002, when it submitted both a section 15 and a section 37 report. 9. Although Rose Art had obtained sufficient information to reasonably support the conclusion that the Kits contained a defect which could create a substantial product hazard, or created an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, long before February 14, 2002, it failed to immediately inform the Commission of such defect or risk as required by sections 15(b)(2) and (3) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2064(b)(2) and (3). By failing to do so, Rose Art violated section 19(a)(4) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2068(a)(4). 10. Respondent committed this failure to immediately inform the Commission of the subject defect or risk ‘‘knowingly’’ as the term ‘‘knowingly’’ is defined in section 20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2069(d), and pursuant to section 20 of E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM 06JYN1
