2nd Modification to Text of Proposed Section 25904 Listings by Reference to the California Labor Code
As required by Government Code section 11346.8(c), and Title 1, Section 44 of the California Code of Regulations, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is providing notice of additional changes to the proposed regulation and Initial Statement of Reasons to add section 25904 to Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations.
This proposed regulation was originally the subject of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published on January 31, 2014, in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2014, No 5-Z), which initiated a public comment period. Eight written comments from the public were received during the comment period that ended April 4, 2014. In addition, OEHHA heard comments at a public hearing on the proposed regulation held on March 21, 2014. On June 20, 2014, OEHHA published a Notice of Modification to Text of Proposed Regulation. The comment period closed on July 7, 2014. Three comments were received.
After careful consideration of the new comments, subsection (e) was further amended to remove the language which stated that once a chemical no longer meets the requirements for listing, the chemical would remain on the list pending committee review. These changes are shown in double strikethrough.
The Initial Statement of Reasons has also been amended to reflect this change.
Included with this notice are copies of the regulatory language and Initial Statement of Reasons with the modified language provided in underline and strikeout format. These modifications are also presented on the OEHHA website and may be requested from Monet Vela at the OEHHA Legal Office at (916) 323-2517.
OEHHA will accept written comments on the additional amendments to the proposed regulation and Initial Statement of Reasons until September 29, 2014 at 5:00 p.m.
