Plain-English summary

Directs the Administrator, if he or she obtains a substantially greater amount of evidence of risk of injury to health or the environment than that which was adduced in the proceedings described in a proposed rule to limit the manufacture and use of lead sinkers, to report such findings to the Congress, with recommendations for legislative action.
