A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking announcing proposed amendments to Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations Article 6, Clear and Reasonable Warnings, section 25600.2, was published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on November 26, 2018 (Notice File Number Z-2018-1106-09).  The proposed amendments would clarify and make the provisions for responsibility to provide Proposition 65 consumer product exposure warnings more specific. The November 16, 2018 notice initiated a 45-day public comment period that was scheduled to close on December 31, 2018.  The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has received a request from Tyler Bowlin of Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP to hold a public hearing on the proposed regulation. 

OEHHA has scheduled a public hearing on Thursday, January 3, 2019, at the George Alexeeff Environmental Health Library, Suite 1604, 16th Floor, 1515 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612. The public hearing will be held from 10:00 a.m. to noon.  If you have special accommodation needs, please contact Monet Vela at (916) 323-2517 or monet.vela@oehha.ca.gov by December 20, 2018. TTY/TDD/Speech-to-Speech users may dial 7‑1‑1 for the California Relay Service.

OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period on these proposed amendments to 5:00 pm, Friday, January 11, 2019.  The public is encouraged to submit written comments electronically via e-mail or through our website at https://oehha.ca.gov/comments rather than in paper form.  Send e-mail comments to P65Public.Comments@oehha.ca.gov.  Please include “Section 25600.2” in the subject line.  Hard-copy comments may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the appropriate address below.
