A. Effective January 1, 2007, no mercury-added product shall be offered for final sale or use or distributed for promotional purposes in Louisiana without prior notification in writing by the manufacturer of the product to the Office of the Secretary in accordance with the requirements of this Section. The Interstate Mercury Education and Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC) report may be used for notification purposes; a form can be obtained from IMERC, the department, or the department's website.

1. The notification to the department shall, at a minimum, include:
a. a brief description of the product to be offered for sale, use, or distribution;

b. the amount of, and purpose for, mercury in each unit of the product;

c. the total amount of mercury contained in all products manufactured by the manufacturer; and

d. the name and address of the manufacturer, and the name, address, and phone number of a contact at the manufacturer.

2. For purposes of complying with this Section, the manufacturer may submit to the department a copy of the report sent by the manufacturer to IMERC. At a minimum, the copy of the report shall contain the information listed in Subparagraphs A.1.a-d of this Section.

B. Any mercury-added product for which federal law governs notice in a manner that preempts state authority shall be exempt from the requirements of this Section.

C. The manufacturer may supply the information required in this Section for a product category rather than an individual product. The manufacturer shall update and revise the information in the notification on an annual basis, indicating all changes, or when requested to do so by the department. A notification in accordance with this Subsection is to be submitted to the Office of the Secretary.

D. A manufacturer may request confidentiality for certain submitted information by following the procedures in LAC 33:I.Chapter 5.
