For what it's worth. On August 27th, the Environmental Protection Agency reportedly has denied a petition requesting the federal government institute a nationwide ban on lead used in hunting ammunition and fishing tackle. However, the EPA is still reviewing a portion of the petition that applies to fishing tackle, since "there are no similar jurisdictional issues relating to the agency's authority over fishing sinkers."
