Extension of Comment Period - Bisphenol-A
On January 18, 2008 the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) published a notice in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2008, No. 3-Z) soliciting information relevant to the assessment of the evidence of developmental and reproductive toxicity for five chemicals (bisphenol A, chlorpyifos, chromium (hexavalent), DDE, and sulfur dioxide). OEHHA will begin preparation of hazard identification materials for the five chemicals with the expectation of bringing them forward to the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee at future meetings for the Committee’s consideration for listing under Proposition 65.
OEHHA has received a request to extend the comment period for bisphenol A to allow for the submittal of complete and relevant scientific information. OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period for bisphenol A to 5 p.m., Thursday, April 17, 2008. Please note that the original 60‑day public comment period initiated on January 18, 2008 for the other four chemicals will close as announced on March 18, 2008.
Relevant information on these chemicals should be submitted to:
the Proposition 65 Office
