There are two threads about this on the Washington state forum portion of these boards but I don't see it here in the nationwide portion of our forums.
In summary, a number of environmental groups have banded together and filed a petition for the EPA to have a comprehensive nationwide ban on lead-based sporting ammunition and fishing tackle. They're using junk since and wild hyperbole to back their claims up, but the EPA has 90 days to consider the petition. This is not legislation, it is administrative law.
Here is a link to the final Petition filed to the EPA: http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/.../pdfs/Final_TSCA_lead_ban_petition_8-3-10.pdf

(LOL WTF? Are you kidding me? "Project Gutpile!?" The EPA should deny the petition based on that name alone. There's no contact here other than an e-mail address and if you go to his blog at http://projectgutpile.blogspot.com/ he claims to be a Hunter. (Go figure he's from California.) Yes, I chose green deliberately to poke fun at this ass-hat.)

Pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”, 15 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.), Petitioners Center for Biological Diversity, American Bird Conservancy, Association of Avian Veterinarians, Project Gutpile and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility hereby petition the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to revise rules governing toxic substances to ban the manufacture, processing and distribution in commerce of lead shot, bullets, and fishing sinkers. Petitioners request that the EPA consider this rulemaking pursuant to section 6(a) of TSCA.
TSCA requires that within 90 days after filing of a petition, the EPA shall either grant or deny the petition (15 U.S.C. § 2620(b)(3)). If the Administrator grants the petition, the Administrator shall promptly commence an appropriate proceeding. If the Administrator denies the petition, the Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register the Administrator’s reasons for such denial (15 U.S.C. § 2620(b)(3)).
