Extension of Comment Period - Bisphenol-A female reproductive toxicity
On February 20, 2015, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) announced the availability for public review of the hazard identification document. This notice marked the beginning of a 45-day public comment period, which was to close on April 6, 2015. OEHHA has received a request from the American Chemistry Council seeking an extension of the comment period. OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period until 5 p.m., Monday, April 20, 2015.
OEHHA previously announced Bisphenol A will be considered for possible listing under Proposition 65 at the meeting of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee, which will be held on May 7, 2015, in the Coastal Hearing Room at the CalEPA Headquarters building, 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California. If the committee does not complete its deliberations on May 7, the meeting will be continued on May 21, 2015, at the same location. The meetings will begin each day at 10:00 a.m. and will last until all business is conducted or until 5:00 p.m. A full agenda listing all meeting items will be provided in a future public notice. If consideration of all agenda items is completed on May 7, the meeting will not be convened on May 21.
