| The
Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) 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 Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)
is the lead agency for the implementation of Proposition 65.
On August
8, 2003, OEHHA published a notice in the California Regulatory
Notice Register (Register 03, No. 32-Z) announcing its intent to
list fumonisin B1 under Proposition 65 as a
chemical known to the state to cause cancer in accordance with the
regulatory criteria in Section 12306 of Title 22 of the California
Code of Regulations. The publication of the notice initiated a 30-day
public comment period which would have closed on September 8, 2003.
OEHHA has received a request from an interested party seeking an
extension of the comment period to allow for the submittal of complete
and relevant scientific information. OEHHA hereby extends the public
comment period for fumonisin B1 to
5 p.m., Wednesday, October 8, 2003.
Written comments provided in triplicate, along with supporting
information, may be submitted to:
