On February 11, 2011, an application
was submitted by the City and County
of Butte-Silver Bow, grantee of ForeignTrade Zone (FTZ) 274, requesting
authority on behalf of REC Silicon to
manufacture polysilicon and silane gas
under FTZ procedures within Site 1 of
FTZ 274 in Butte, Montana. The request

circumstances. Pursuant to that
regulatory provision, on June 22, 2011,
the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration approved authority for
REC Silicon’s manufacturing activity,

COMMISSION
Notice of Meeting of Chronic Hazard
Advisory Panel on Phthalates and
Phthalate Substitutes
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (‘‘CPSC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) announces the fifth
meeting of the Chronic Hazard Advisory
Panel (CHAP) on phthalates and
phthalate substitutes. The Commission
appointed this CHAP to study the
effects on children’s health of all
phthalates and phthalate alternatives as
used in children’s toys and child care
articles, pursuant to section 108 of the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) (Pub. L. 110–314).
DATES: The meeting will be held on
Monday, July 25, 2011, and Tuesday,
July 26, 2011. The meeting will begin at
approximately 8 a.m. on both days. It
will end at approximately 5 p.m. on
Monday and at approximately 3 p.m. on
Tuesday.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in
the fourth floor hearing room at the
Commission’s offices at 4330 East West
Highway, Bethesda, MD.
REGISTRATION AND WEBCAST: Members of

meeting may register onsite on the day
of the meeting. This meeting will also be
available live via Webcast at https://
www.cpsc.gov/Webcast. Registration is
not necessary to view the Webcast.
There will not be any opportunity for
public participation at this meeting.

Sciences, U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, Bethesda, MD 20814;
telephone (301) 504–7253; e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
108 of the CPSIA permanently prohibits
the sale of any ‘‘children’s toy or child
care article’’ containing more than 0.1
percent of each of three specified
phthalates—di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate
(DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and
benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Section
108 of the CPSIA also prohibits, on an
interim basis, the sale of any ‘‘children’s
toy that can be placed in a child’s

mouth’’ or ‘‘child care article’’
containing more than 0.1 percent of
each of three additional phthalates—
diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl
phthalate (DIDP), and di-n-octyl
phthalate (DNOP).
Moreover, section 108 of the CPSIA
requires the Commission to convene a
CHAP ‘‘to study the effects on children’s
health of all phthalates and phthalate
alternatives as used in children’s toys
and child care articles.’’ The CPSIA
requires the CHAP to complete an
examination of the full range of
phthalates that are used in products for
children and:
• Examine all of the potential health
effects (including endocrine disrupting
effects) of the full range of phthalates;
• Consider the potential health effects
of each of these phthalates, both in
isolation and in combination with other
phthalates;
• Examine the likely levels of
children’s, pregnant women’s, and
others’ exposure to phthalates, based
upon a reasonable estimation of normal
and foreseeable use and abuse of such
products;
• Consider the cumulative effect of
total exposure to phthalates, from
children’s products and from other
sources, such as personal care products;
• Review all relevant data, including
the most recent, best available, peerreviewed, scientific studies of these
phthalates and phthalate alternatives
that employ objective data-collection
practices or employ other objective
methods;
• Consider the health effects of
phthalates not only from ingestion but
also as a result of dermal, hand-tomouth, or other exposure;
• Consider the level at which there is
a reasonable certainty of no harm to
children, pregnant women, or other
susceptible individuals and their
offspring, reviewing the best available
science, and using sufficient safety
factors to account for uncertainties
regarding exposure and susceptibility of
children, pregnant women, and other
potentially susceptible individuals; and
• Consider possible similar health
effects of phthalate alternatives used in
children’s toys and child care articles.
The CPSIA contemplates completion
of the CHAP’s examination within 18
months of the panel’s appointment. The
CHAP must review prior work on
phthalates by the Commission, but the
prior work is not to be considered
determinative because the CHAP’s
examination must be conducted de
novo.
The CHAP must make
recommendations to the Commission
about which phthalates, or
