Transcript for November 1, 2004 CIC Meeting
Staff Presentations for Carcinogen Identification Committee Meeting Held on November 1, 2004
A meeting of the Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) was held on Novem,ber 1, 2004, at the California Environmental Protection Agency Headquarters Building in Sacramento, California. Below are the presentations made by staff of California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The segments of the agenda covered by this material include the “Consideration of Chemicals Known to the State to Cause Cancer,” and “Consideration of the Revised Prioritization Process.”
The CIC determined that neither 1,2-epoxybutane or verapamil had been clearly shown to cause cancer; and therefore, 1,2-epoxybutane and verapamil will not be added to the Proposition 65 chemical list. The CIC received public comments in consideration of the revised prioritization process. The CIC endorsed the revised prioritization process. OEHHA finalized the prioritization process and it became effective on December 17, 2004. The complete meeting transcript is available from the court reporter, Ms. Phyllis Mank at Phyanna@aol.com.
