EPA Denies Petition For Lead Bullet Restrictions But Is STILL Considering Petition Against Lead Fishing Sinkers

EPA rejects attempt to regulate lead in bullets after NRA protests [but not fishing sinkers]
By PAUL BEDARD

"As there are no similar jurisdictional issues relating to the agency's authority over fishing sinkers, EPA – as required by law – will continue formally reviewing a second part the petition related to lead fishing sinkers.

"Those wishing to comment specifically on the fishing tackle issue can do so by visiting http://www.regulations.gov. EPA will consider comments that are submitted by September 15."
