Not speaking about lead, but to the second point of Ms. Cooper's presentation, that lead is an example where CEPA can play a role, I would like to point out to the committee that this is what we're beginning to do. In the example Ms. Cooper raised, that the actions weren't sufficient or didn't go so far as to deal with deca-PBDEs, CEPA has traditionally dealt with ingredients in the industrial sector, and PBDE is an ingredient now being dealt with as no longer acceptable in finished products. So the departments are beginning to use CEPA as a tool to take a look at ingredients in consumer products.
