                     TITLE 16--COMMERCIAL PRACTICES
 
             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.  1145.2  Paint (and other similar surface-coating materials) 
containing lead; toys, children's articles, and articles of furniture 

bearing such paint (or similar surface-coating materials); risk of 
lead poisoning.

    (a) The Commission finds that it is in the public interest to reduce 
the risk of lead poisoning to young children from the ingestion of paint 
and other similar surface-coating materials by action under the Consumer 
Product Safety Act rather than under the Federal Hazardous Substances 
Act because of the desirability of consolidating the public procedures 
related to such regulation with the proceeding to determine a safe level 
of lead under the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 
4801-4846), as amended by the National Consumer Health Information and 
Health Promotion Act of 1976 (Pub. L. 94-317; 90 Stat. 705-706). 
Consolidation of these proceedings facilitates greater public 
participation and a more expeditious resolution of the issues.
    (b) Paint and other similar surface-coating materials containing 
lead and toys, children's articles, and articles of furniture bearing 
such paint or other similar surface-coating materials that present a 
risk of lead poisoning to young children by ingestion shall therefore be 
regulated under the Consumer Product Safety Act. Such regulation shall 
include all directly related pending and future rulemaking, as well as 
all directly related pending and future action on petitions.
