Lead, Identification of Dangerous Levels of Lead; Extension of Comment Period and Rescheduling of Public Meeting

Résumé

EPA is extending the time for the public to provide written comments on a proposed rule, issued under section 403 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), that would provide guidelines for managing lead in paint, dust, and soil in residences and child-occupied facilities. The public now has until December 31, 1998, to submit written comments. EPA is also rescheduling a public meeting on the proposed rule from its original date of November 16, 1998, to December 4, 1998. The purpose of this meeting is to provide an opportunity for nationally recognized experts to offer their perspectives on the proposed rule and for the public to present oral comments. The public would still have the opportunity to submit written comments after the meeting.
