Extension of Comment Period - Notice of Intent to List Styrene
On February 27, 2015, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s (Cal/EPA) Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) published a notice in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2014, No. 6-Z) announcing its intent to list styrene as known to the state to cause cancer under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.1
The February 27 notice initiated a 30‑day public comment period that was scheduled to close on March 30, 2015. OEHHA has received a request from the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Industry Alliance seeking an extension of the comment period. OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period until 5 p.m., Monday, April 29, 2015.
