PART 1702--PETITIONS FOR EXEMPTIONS FROM POISON PREVENTION PACKAGING 
ACT REQUIREMENTS; PETITION PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1702.17  Granting petitions.

    Where the Commission determines that reasonable grounds for an 
exemption are presented by the petition, the Commission shall publish, 
in the Federal Register, a proposed amendment to the listing of 
substances requiring special packaging under Sec.  1700.14(a). 
``Reasonable grounds'' for publishing a proposed exemption are 
information and data sufficient to support the conclusion that:
    (a) The degree or nature of the hazard to children in the 
availability of the substance, by reason of its packaging, is such that 
special packaging is not required to protect children from serious 
personal injury or serious illness resulting from handling, using, or 
ingesting the substance, or
    (b) Special packaging is not technically feasible, practicable, or 
appropriate for the subject substance, or
    (c) Special packaging is incompatible with the particular substance.
