Extension of Public Comment Period on Five Chemicals Under Consideration for Possible Listing Via the Authoritative Bodies Mechanisms
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 May 28, 2004, OEHHA published a notice in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2004, No. 22-Z) soliciting information which may be relevant to the evaluation of certain chemicals under consideration for possible administrative listing within the context of the Proposition 65 administrative listing regulatory criteria in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations Section 12306.
The 60-day public comment period initiated on May 28, 2004 will close, as announced, on July 27, 2004 for 1-bromopropane . OEHHA has received a request to extend the comment period for butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), di-n-hexyl phthalate (DnHP), and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) to allow for the submittal of complete and relevant scientific information. OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period for the four named phthalates to 5 p.m., Thursday, August 26, 2004 .
