## Abstract

Section 101(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act ("CPSIA") provides that, as of August 14, 2011, children's products may not contain more than 100 parts per million ("ppm") of lead unless the Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC," "Commission," or "we") determines that such a limit is not technologically feasible. The determination can only be made after notice and a hearing and after analyzing the public health protections associated with substantially reducing lead in children's products. On February 16, 2011, we conducted a public hearing to receive views from all interested parties about the technological feasibility of meeting the 100 ppm lead content limit for children's products and associated public health considerations. Through this document, we announce that children's products must meet the statutory 100 ppm lead content limit on August 14, 2011, unless otherwise excluded under CPSC regulations.\1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
