Notice of Decision Not to Proceed Pursuant to Government Code Section 11347 Repeal of Article 6 and Adoption of New Article 6 Clear and Reasonable Warnings Proposition 65

On January 16, 2015, a notice to repeal the current Article 6 regulations and adopt new regulations in Article 6 in Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations was posted on the OEHHA website and published in the California Regulatory Notice Register (CRNR).  Pursuant to Government Code Section 11347, OEHHA hereby gives notice that it has decided not to proceed with the rulemaking action published in the CRNR on January 16, 2015.  OEHHA has decided not to proceed with the regulation because a number of substantive and clarifying changes to the proposed regulatory language and Initial Statement of Reasons were made after reviewing oral and written comments from the public. 

OEHHA is concurrently opening a new rulemaking record by publishing a new notice to repeal and adopt a new Article 6 in the CRNR on November 27, 2015.  OEHHA is also publishing on its website the notice to repeal and adopt the proposed regulation, the proposed regulatory text, and the Initial Statement of Reasons for this new regulatory proposal.  The public will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed rulemaking during the comment period specified in the new notice to repeal and adopt.
