Notice of Intent to List Oryzalin (CAS No. 19044-88-3)
A chemical may be listed under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (commonly known as Proposition 65; codified at Health and Safety Code section 25249.5 et seq.) when a body considered to be authoritative by the state’s qualified experts has formally identified the chemical as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. The following entities are identified as authoritative bodies for this purpose: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and the National Toxicology Program.
As the lead agency for the implementation of Proposition 65, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) within the California Environmental Protection Agency intends to list the chemical, oryzalin (CAS No. 19044-88-3) as known to the State to cause cancer, pursuant to this administrative mechanism as provided in Health and Safety Code section 25249.8(b) and Title 27, Cal. Code of Regs., section 25306 (formally Title 22, Cal. Code of Regs., section 12306).
Relevant information related to the possible listing of oryzalin was requested in a notice published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on April 11, 2008 (Register 2008, No. 15 Z). No public comments were received.
OEHHA has determined that oryzalin meets the criteria for listing under Title 27, Cal. Code of Regs., section 25306, based on the findings of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA, 2003). OEHHA is therefore issuing this notice of intent to list this chemical under Proposition 65. A document providing more detail on the basis for the listing of oryzalin can be obtained from OEHHA’s Proposition 65 Implementation Office at the address and telephone number indicated below, or from the downloads section below.
