     On page 2, beginning on line 9 of the amendment, strike all of subsection (7) and insert the following:
     "(7) "Safer, technically feasible alternative that is available at a reasonable cost" means an alternative that:
     (a) Is available at a cost and in sufficient quantity to permit the manufacturer or user to maintain an economically viable product;
     (b) Provides a level of ignition resistance equivalent to or greater than that provided by decabromodiphenyl ether; and
     (c) Has undergone the same level of study as the product it is meant to replace and has been found to have a lower toxicity profile and less environmental impact."

EFFECT:  Adds a definition for "safer, technically feasible alternative that is available at a reasonable cost" to mean available at a cost to maintain economic viability, provide equivalent fire resistance, and have similar study for toxicity and environmental impact.
