| Abstract |
On October 20, 1992, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Federation of Fly Fishers, Trumpeter Swan Society, and North American Loon Fund petitioned EPA under section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), to initiate rulemaking proceedings under section 6 of TSCA to require that the sale of lead fishing sinkers be accompanied by an appropriate label or notice warning that such products are toxic to wildlife. EPA granted the petition; however, the Agency believes that a labeling provision would not adequately address the risk of injury to waterfowl and other birds (waterbirds), from ingestion of lead fishing sinkers. In addition, EPA also believes that zinc fishing sinkers adversely affect waterbirds, and can cause mortality. Therefore, EPA is proposing this rule under section 6(a) of TSCA to prohibit the manufacturing, processing, and distribution in commerce in the United States, of certain smaller size fishing sinkers containing lead and zinc, and mixed with other substances, including those made of brass. The Agency also requests that persons with information relevant to the issues outlined in this document submit that information to EPA. DATES: Written comments in response to this proposed rule must be received by May 9, 1994. If persons request time for oral comment, EPA will hold an informal hearing in Washington, DC. The exact date, time, and location of the hearing, if held, will be announced in the Federal Register. For further information regarding the hearing, see Unit XV. of this preamble. |
