Announcement of Availability of Hazard Identification Materials for C.I. Disperse Yellow 3 and 2,6-Dimethyl-N-Nitrosomorpholine and the Carcinogen Identification Committee Meeting Scheduled for November 29, 2012

The California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is the lead agency for the implementation of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 19861 (Proposition 65).  The Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) advises and assists OEHHA in compiling the list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer as required by Health and Safety Code section 25249.8.  The Committee serves as the State’s qualified experts for determining whether a chemical has been clearly shown through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles to cause cancer.

C.I. Disperse Yellow 3 and 2,6-dimethyl-N-nitrosomorpholine will be considered for possible listing by the CIC at its next meeting scheduled for Thursday, November 29, 2012.  The meeting will be held in the Coastal Hearing Room at the Cal/EPA Headquarters building, 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California.  The meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will last until all business is conducted or until 5:00 p.m.  The agenda for the meeting will be provided in a future public notice published in advance of the meeting.

OEHHA announces the availability for public review of the documents entitled:  “Evidence on the Carcinogenicity of C.I. Disperse Yellow 3” and “Evidence on the Carcinogenicity of 2,6-dimethyl-N-nitrosomorpholine.”  The CIC will consider these documents in making any listing decisions on these chemicals.  In preparing these hazard identification documents, OEHHA considered information received from its requests for information relevant to the evidence of carcinogenicity of C.I. Disperse Yellow 3.  The data call-in period for C.I. Disperse Yellow 3 opened on November 19, 2011 and closed on January 10, 2012.  The data call-in period for 2,6‑dimethyl-N-nitrosomorpholine opened on February 11, 2011 and closed on April 12, 2011.  No information was received on 2,6-dimethyl-N-nitrosomorpholine.

Copies of the documents are available from OEHHA’s web site.  The documents may also be requested from OEHHA’s Proposition 65 Implementation Office by calling (916) 445-6900. 

This notice marks the beginning of a 60-day public comment period on these two documents.  OEHHA must receive comments and any supporting documentation by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 9, 2012.  We encourage you to submit comments in electronic form, rather than in paper form.  Comments transmitted by e-mail should be addressed to P65Public.Comments@oehha.ca.gov.  Comments submitted in paper form may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the addresses below:
