SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Empire State Consumer Project, Sierra
Club, Center for Environmental Health,
and Rochesterians Against the Misuse of
Pesticides (‘‘petitioners’’) submitted a
petition stating that the Commission
should issue regulations to ban
cadmium in all toy jewelry under the
Federal Hazardous Substances Act
(‘‘FHSA’’), 15 U.S.C. 1261 et seq.
Specifically, petitioners request that the
Commission adopt regulations declaring
that any toy metal jewelry containing
more than trace amounts of cadmium by
weight which could be ingested by
children be declared a banned
hazardous substance. If the Commission
finds that it lacks sufficient information
to determine the appropriate level of
cadmium in products, petitioners
request that the Commission, as an
interim measure, adopt the maximum
levels established for lead. In addition,
petitioners request a test method based
on total cadmium, which simulates a
child chewing the jewelry before
swallowing by cutting the metal jewelry
in half, and evaluating the extractability
of cadmium from children’s metal
jewelry based on a 24-hour acid

extraction period. Petitioners also assert
that if the CPSC has insufficient
information regarding cadmium, it
should obtain additional information
under the Interagency Testing
Commission (‘‘ITC’’) through the Toxic
Substances Control Act (‘‘TSCA’’)
administered by the Environmental
Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) to include
metal jewelry in the scope of reporting
under section 8(d) of the TSCA and
require importers and processers to test
toy metal jewelry for cadmium.
Interested parties may obtain a copy
of the petition by writing or calling the
Office of the Secretary, Consumer
Product Safety Commission, 4330 East
West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814;
telephone (301) 504–6833. The petition
is also available at https://

Meeting of the U.S. Naval Academy
Board of Visitors

Notice of Partially Closed
Meeting.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The U.S. Naval Academy
Board of Visitors will meet to make such
inquiry, as the Board shall deem
necessary into the state of morale and
discipline, the curriculum, instruction,
physical equipment, fiscal affairs, and
academic methods of the Naval
Academy. The executive session of this
meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on
September 13, 2010, will include
discussions of disciplinary matters, law
enforcement investigations into
allegations of criminal activity, and
personnel-related issues at the Naval
Academy, the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy. For this
reason, the executive session of this
meeting will be closed to the public.
DATES: The open sessions of the meeting
will be held on September 13th, 2010,
from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The closed
session of this meeting will be the
executive session held from 11 a.m. to

Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy,
Annapolis, MD 21402–5000, 410–293–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice of meeting is provided per the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The executive
session of the meeting from 11 a.m. to
12 p.m. on September 13, 2010, will
consist of discussions of law
enforcement investigations into
allegations of criminal activity, new and
pending administrative/minor
disciplinary infractions and nonjudicial
punishments involving the Midshipmen
attending the Naval Academy to
include, but not limited to, individual
honor/conduct violations within the
Brigade, and personnel-related issues.
The discussion of such information
cannot be adequately segregated from
other topics, which precludes opening
the executive session of this meeting to
the public. Accordingly, the Secretary of
the Navy has determined in writing that
the meeting shall be partially closed to
the public because the discussions
during the executive session from 11
a.m. to 12 p.m. will be concerned with
matters coming under sections
552b(c)(5), (6), and (7) of Title 5, United
States Code.
