Sec.  1021.12  Environmental assessment.


    (a) An environmental assessment shall first briefly describe the 
proposed action and realistic alternative actions. Next, it shall 
identify all effects on the environment that can be expected to result 
from the proposed and alternative actions. After each anticipated effect 
is identified, it shall be described as fully as can be done with 
available data in order 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.
