If leaded crystal tableware sold in your store is on the list, then you must post the enclosed signs.

Post the signs. If any of the leaded crystal tableware sold in your store appears on the list, then you must post these signs by no later than July 31, 1993. Where you must post them depends on the type of store you operate. There are three types: a. Department stores with a separate c h e c k - o u t for the tableware department. If you sell leaded crystal tableware in a physically separate section with its own cash registers primarily used for that department, you must post the signs at each cash register in the tableware department and at two other conspicuous places in the tableware department. b. Large stores without separate check-out for tableware. If you have more than 7,500 square feet of floor space, post a sign conspicuously at each place where leaded crystal tableware is displayed, plus any additional signs needed to assure that any potential purchaser of leaded crystal tableware is likely to see one of the signs. c. Small stores with no separate check-out for tableware. If you have 7,500 square feet of floor space or less, you may choose either (a) or (b). You do not need to do both.

The School will not substitute these funds for other funds available for the same activities. ! 2. In order to avoid duplication of effort, the School will consult with the California Public Health Foundation regarding any program this is specifically directed to the public (e.g., the San Francisco Ray Area Regional Control Center program described below). 3. Annually, the School will provide to the Attorney General a report on the use of the funds on a fiscal year basis (i.e., July 1 to June 30). 4. In light of the fact that basic research in any heavy metal (e.g., arsenic, mercury, etc.) can provide important clues to our understanding of the biological effects (etc.,) of lead and other heavy metals, "lead-related research" permitted for these funds may include research in heavy metals, but will be restricted to that end. 5. Funds shall be spent in accordance with the following plan over the next two years~ a° The School will initiate a two-year, 10 county-wide program of support and expansion of the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Control Center programs focusing on lead exposure, including identification of population clusters likely to be exposed to high levels of lead, common environment and/or commercial lead sources, and development and presentation of appropriate preventive educational materials and programs. Funding for this component of the program shall be $60,000 per year for two years. b. The School will equip the laboratory of a new faculty member who is committed to heavy metal research.

Funding for this component of the program shall be $50,000 in the first year only. C. The School will establish a total of four "lure" stipends (ideally, two per year for a period of two years.).
