areas within the Bay has led NMFS to
preliminarily determine that this action
will have a negligible impact on
California sea lions, Pacific harbor seals,
harbor porpoises, and gray whale
populations along the California coast.
In addition, no take by Level A
harassment (injury) or death is
anticipated and harassment takes
should be at the lowest level practicable
due to incorporation of the mitigation
measures described in this document.
Proposed Authorization
NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to
Fugro for the potential harassment of
small numbers of harbor seals,
California sea lions, harbor porpoises,
and gray whales incidental to
conducting of seismic surveys in south
San Francisco Bay in California,
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated.
Information Solicited
NMFS requests interested persons to
submit comments, information, and
suggestions concerning this request (see
ADDRESSES).

more than 0.06% lead. The Commission

DATES:
Comments on the petition
may be filed by e-mail to cpscos@cpsc.gov. Comments may also be
filed by facsimile to (301) 504–0127, or
delivered or mailed, preferably in five
copies, to the Office of the Secretary,

‘‘Petition HP 06–1, Petition Requesting

is available on the CPSC Web site at
https://www.cpsc.gov. A request for a

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety
Commission, 4330 East West Highway;
telephone (301) 504–6833, e-mail

The
Commission has received
correspondence from the Sierra Club
requesting that the Commission classify
toy jewelry containing more than 0.06%
lead as a banned hazardous substance
under the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act (FHSA). The request for
a ban on toy jewelry containing more
than 0.06% lead was docketed as
petition number HP 06–1 under the
Federal Hazardous Substances Act, 15
U.S.C. 1261–1278.
The Sierra Club states that the
Commission should adopt regulations
declaring that any toy jewelry
containing more than 0.06% lead by
weight for which there is a reasonably
foreseeable possibility that children
could ingest be declared a banned
hazardous substance under the FHSA.
The Sierra Club also states that the
0.06% level may not be low enough to
protect children and should be an
interim step until a determination of a
more appropriate cutoff is made. In
addition, the Sierra Club asserts that it
believes that toy jewelry is any item that
serves a decorative but no or minimal
functional purpose that is valued at less
than $20 per item. According to the
Sierra Club, people are less likely to
store such low-cost jewelry in secure
containers or out of reach from children.
Interested parties may obtain a copy
of the petition on the CPSC Web site at
https://www.cpsc.gov or by writing or
calling the Office of the Secretary,
Consumer Product Safety Commission,

The Corporation for National and

voluntary online project registration.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Service Day

to participate. The collection of this
