Federal to rpedo fhh mdnistry will be affected by the new rule. Although 90 percent of any catch will have such fish within the 2 ppm limit, Jonjak said singling out the remaining 5 to 10 percent that exceed limits would render commercial fishing unfeasible economically.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration order will lower the allowable limit to 2 ppm, as of Aug. 28. Henry Roberts, district director of the FDA office in Minneapolis, said letters announcing the rule were delivered Wednesday to the governors of states. Wisconsin Gov.

Lee Dreyfus ordered the departments of Natural Resources, Agriculture and Health and Social Services to prepare a response to the or der by July 30. "We expect to file an appeal on this and we are hoping the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and sports fishermen will join us," said Paul Jonjak, an attorney who has often acted as a spokesman for commercial fishermen. DNR spokesman Jeff Smoller said the agency has opposed the 2 ppm level because of its effect on commercial fishing and because state research has provided no evidence that the reduction was warranted. But he added that it was too soon to tell if the DNR would join forces with commercial fishermen in opposing the change. include Susie Kulpa Fisheries, Taddy Brothers, Ruleau Brothers, Nile Gates Co, and Frank LeClair and Sons.

Pete LeClair said he expected the FDA to lower the standard to 3.4. "We could go with that," he said, and added, "Right now, the fish contain about 3 parts per million." The PCB levels have steadily gone done the past few years, according to LeClair. He said if the FDA had done nothing, the problem would eventually disappear. "It is so unnecessary," he said. "There's no effect from eating these fish." The chemical, which is con J.

Hansen, a compliance officer with the Department of Agriculture, said Wisconsin will automatically make the new FDA tolerance level a state standard. A hearing will be held if there is considerable opposition, he said. Canada currently has a limit of 2 ppm. "It is likely to eliminate commercial fishing on the Great Lakes," said Jonjak. "We can live with 5 ppm.

But it's difficult to live with less than that." The new level primarily affects fish with high fat content because PCBs are stored in fat.

The FDA ruling does not apply differently to fish sold for other than human consumption, LeClair said. Because no one will be catching the alewvies, LeClair said many more will wash up on the Lake Michigan shore. "The problem will be about 10 times as bad," he said.

"If they think PCBs are a worse problem than maggots and rotting fish on the shore, they're crazy." Seventy fisherman will lose their jobs, LeClair said.

Fishing companies affected By PAl'L KOBERSTEIN Herald-Timei-Reporter Staff Writer TWO RIVERS The commercial fishing industry in Two Rivers has been torpedoed out of business by a new federal standard on PCB levels in fish. The Food and Drug Administration ruled this week fish sold interstate cannot contain more than two parts per million PCBs. The previous standard allowed 5 ppm.

It is expected to persist at the toxic level for the next 200 years," Roberts said. But he said that marine life might eliminate the chemical sooner. Chuck Bohman, owner of an Algoma fish market, and Herman C. Schwarz, president of a Sheboygan fish company, said they felt the FDA ruling will be contested. Schwarz, president of the Wisconsin Fisheries Council, said the commercial fishing industry sees the 2 ppm limit as unjustified.

The House watered down the tax Thursday, agreeing with arguments that U.S. oil production could best be increased by leaving oil companies a bigger share of profits from the decontrol of domestic oil prices.

"The telling argument was energy production," declared Rep. W. Henson Moore, one of the sponsors of the amendment to weaken the tax bite on oil companies.

Moore argued that by cutting the tax by about $6 billion over that five-year period, U.S. oil production would be increased by 800,000 barrels a day, compared to 350,000 new barrels a day expected under the committee's tax. "Congressmen can go home now for July Fourth and tell their constituents, 'I voted for a tax that will keep you from being ripped off, but it will get you more Moore said after the vote. The Moore substitute is still tougher than the tax President Carter originally proposed and then challenged Congress to toughen.

The Senate Finance Committee, the bill's next stop, is slated to consider the tax next month. The panel, chaired by oil industry ally Sen. Russell B. Long, is expected to recommend a tax lower than the House measure. But in a letter read to the House during Thursday's debate.

Long expressed concern that the Senate might toughen the House bill.
