             CHAPTER II--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
 
PART 1145--REGULATION OF PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO OTHER ACTS UNDER THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1145.5  Emberizing materials (embers and ash) containing respirable free-form asbestos; risk of cancer associated with inhalation of asbestos fibers.

    (a) The Commission finds that it is in the public interest to 
regulate the risk of cancer associated with inhalation of asbestos 
fibers from artificial emberizing materials (embers and ash) containing 
respirable free-form asbestos under the Consumer Product Safety Act 
(CPSA) rather than under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) 
because of the desirability of avoiding possibly lengthy, resource-
consuming, inefficient rulemaking proceedings under the FHSA, and 
because of the availability of civil penalties under the CPSA for 
knowing noncompliance.
    (b) Therefore, artificial emberizing materials (embers and ash) 
containing respirable free-form asbestos are regulated under the CPSA.
