Withdrawal of Regulatory Concept - Proposition 65 Regulatory Update Project Proposed Amendments to Title 27, California Code of Regulations Sections 25801, 25803, and 25805 - No Observable Effect Levels

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) hereby announces the withdrawal of its regulatory proposal for possible amendments to Sections 25801, 25803 and 25805 of the Proposition 65 implementing regulations. These sections establish the procedures for calculating “safe harbor” levels for chemicals listed under Proposition 65. On April 14, 2010, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) held a pre-regulatory public workshop to discuss possible draft language for amendments to these regulations. The public comment period on the regulatory concept closes on May 28, 2010.

OEHHA has determined that significant changes will be made to the proposal and is therefore withdrawing it at this time. OEHHA will provide notice and an opportunity to comment prior to beginning any formal regulatory process related to this proposal. We appreciate the input we have received from the public concerning this concept.
