SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
17, 2017, Zen Magnets, LLC (petitioner)
submitted a petition requesting that the
Commission initiate rulemaking to
adopt a safety standard for highpowered magnet sets under Sections 7
and 9 of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2056,
2058) to address the hazard associated
with these products if ingested,
aspirated, or otherwise inserted into the
body.
The petitioner describes the product
as small rare earth magnets of various
shapes, sizes, and flux indices (i.e.,
magnetic strength) that are commonly
sold as sets designed to make
sculptures, provide therapeutic benefits,
or serve as educational or research tools.
The petitioner states that there are
magnet sets on the market that are
approximately 5 millimeters in diameter
and have flux indices greater than 50
kG2mm2. According to the petitioner,
magnet sets are not designed, marketed,
manufactured, or intended for use by
children under the age of 14 years.
The petitioner asserts that highpowered magnet sets pose a risk of
injury if misused in a way that results
in ingesting, aspirating, or otherwise
inserting more than one magnet into the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
body. The petitioner notes that one
potential injury that can result from
ingesting high-powered magnets is
damage to gastrointestinal tissue.
The petitioner requests that CPSC
promulgate a mandatory safety standard
that includes the following:
• Performance standards. Require
individual magnets and each magnet in
a magnet set that fits entirely within the
cylinder described in 16 CFR 1501.4
(small parts cylinder) to have a flux
index of 50 kG2mm2 or less if the
product is designed, marketed, or
manufactured for children under the age
of 14 years. Establish standards for
magnet set packaging, such as requiring
packaging to be difficult for children to
open and assist users in determining
whether all magnets are returned to the
package after use. According to the
petitioner, these requirements would
limit the magnetic strength of magnets
so that they would not attach across
internal tissue if ingested and would
assist users in limiting children’s access
to the magnets.
• Warning requirements.1 Require
magnet sets to bear warnings that
conform to specific form requirements,
warn of the ingestion hazard, and
indicate the product is not intended for
children. Require warnings on product
packaging, including in a location that
requires a user to see the warning when
opening the package.
• Instructional requirements. Require
magnet sets to include instructions that
indicate how to avoid using the magnet
set in a way that can lead to ingesting,
aspirating, or inserting the magnets into
the body and how to return magnets to
the packaging.
• Age restrictions.2 Require warnings
and instructions for magnet sets to
include an age recommendation of 14
years or older.
The Commission seeks comments
concerning this petition.
The petition is available at: https://
www.regulations.gov, under Docket No.
CPSC–2017–0037, Supporting and
1 The petitioner also requests that the
Commission require purchasers to acknowledge
having read product warnings and assent to the risk
of injury when purchasing magnet sets online.
Under Section 7 of the CPSA, the Commission may
issue only performance requirements and
requirements for warnings or instructions.
Therefore, the Commission lacks authority to
require these additional provisions.
2 The petitioner also requests the following age
restriction requirements for magnet sets that do not
conform to the requested physical safety standards:
(1) Prohibit the sale of magnet sets to users under
14 years old, and (2) require that only adults be
permitted to buy magnet sets. Again, Section 7 of
the CPSA authorizes the Commission to issue only
performance requirements and warning
requirements. Therefore, the Commission lacks
authority to adopt these restrictions.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
elements of a State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revision from the State of Missouri
for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Section
110 of the CAA requires that each state
adopt and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of each new or revised
NAAQS promulgated by EPA. These
SIPs are commonly referred to as
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIPs. The infrastructure
requirements are designed to ensure that
the structural components of each
state’s air quality management program
are adequate to meet the state’s
responsibilities under the CAA. In the
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this
Federal Register, we are approving the
state’s SIP revisions as a direct final rule
without a prior proposed rule. If we
receive no adverse comment, we will
not take further action on this proposed
rule.
DATES: Comments must be received by
November 6, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
