on the environment that can be expected to result from the proposed and

to show its magnitude and significance. Sources of information for 
assessment include CPSC staff studies and research reports, information 
gathered at hearings or meetings held to obtain the views of the public 
on the proposed action, and other information received from members of 
the public and from governmental entities.
    (b) The assessment shall identify and describe any methods or 
approaches which would avoid or minimize adverse effects on the 
environment.
