Candidates for Listing via the Authoritative Bodies Mechanism Found Not to Meet the Regulatory Criteria for Reproductive Toxicity: Thiabendazole (CAS No. 148-79-8) Thiabendazole hypophosphate salt (CAS No. 28558-32-9) Imazalil (CAS No. 35554-44-0)

On June 27, 2008, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) published requests for relevant information with regard to the possible listing of three chemicals under Proposition 65 as known to cause reproductive toxicity: thiabendazole (CAS No. 148-79-8), thiabendazole hypophosphate salt (CAS No. 28558-32-9) and imazalil (CAS No.35554-44-0). The request notices were published in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2008, No. 26-Z).

The possible listings were based on publications by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a Proposition 65 authoritative body specified in Title 27, California Code of Regulations section 25306(l). OEHHA has determined that there is insufficient evidence that the criteria in the regulation for these chemicals have been met. Therefore, OEHHA will not proceed at this time with the Proposition 65 listing process for thiabendazole, thiabendazole hypophosphite salt and imazalil as known to cause reproductive toxicity.
