SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 101(a) of the CPSIA, consumer
products designed or intended primarily
for children 12 years old and younger
that contain lead content in excess of
100 ppm manufactured after August 12,
2011, are considered to be banned
hazardous substances under the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act (‘‘FHSA’’).
Section 101(b)(1) of the CPSIA
provides for a functional purpose
exception from lead content limits
under certain circumstances. The
exception allows us, on our own
initiative, or upon petition by an
interested party, to exclude a specific
product, class of product, material, or
component part from the lead limits
established for children’s products
under the CPSIA if, after notice and a
hearing, we determine that: (i) The
product, class of product, material, or
component part requires the inclusion
of lead because it is not practicable or
not technologically feasible to
manufacture such product, class of
product, material, or component part, as
the case may be, in accordance with
section 101(a) of the CPSIA by removing
the excessive lead or by making the lead
inaccessible; (ii) the product, class of
product, material, or component part is
not likely to be placed in the mouth or
ingested, taking into account normal
and reasonably foreseeable use and
abuse of such product, class of product,
material, or component part by a child;
and (iii) an exception for the product,
class of product, material, or component
part will have no measurable adverse
effect on public health or safety, taking
into account normal and reasonably
foreseeable use and abuse. Under
section 101(b)(1)(B) of the CPSIA, there
is no measurable adverse effect on
public health or safety if the exception
will result in no measurable increase in
blood lead levels of a child. Given the
highly technical nature of the
information sought, including data on
the lead content of the product and test
methods used to obtain those data, we
believe that the notice and solicitation
