Extension of Comment Period - Request For Relevant Information On Chemicals Being Considered For Listing By The Authoritative Bodies Mechanism: Kresoxim-Methyl
The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 19861 (Proposition 65 or the Act), which is codified as Health and Safety Code section 25249.5 et seq., requires the Governor to publish, and update at least annually, a list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. The Act describes the mechanisms for administratively listing chemicals as known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity (Health and Safety Code section 25249.8).
On October 22, 2010, OEHHA published a notice in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 10 No. 43-Z) soliciting information which may be relevant to the evaluation of kresoxim-methyl (CAS No. 143390-89-0) under consideration for possible listing within the context of the Proposition 65 administrative listing regulatory criteria in Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations section 25306.
The publication of the notice initiated a 60‑day public comment period which would have closed on December 21, 2010. OEHHA has received a request from interested parties seeking an extension of the comment period to allow for the submission of complete and relevant scientific information for kresoxim-methyl. OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period for this chemical until 5 p.m., Thursday, January 20, 2011.
