(a)The Commission finds that it is in the public interest to regulate the risk of cancer associated with inhalation of asbestos fibers from artificial emberizing materials (embers and ash) containing respirable free-form asbestos under the Consumer Product Safety Act
(CPSA)rather than under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act
(FHSA)because of the desirability of avoiding possibly lengthy, resource-consuming, inefficient rulemaking proceedings under the FHSA, and because of the availability of civil penalties under the CPSA for knowing noncompliance.
(b)Therefore, artificial emberizing materials (embers and ash) containing respirable free-form asbestos are regulated under the CPSA. \[42 FR 63354, Dec. 15, 1977\]
