Modification to Text of Proposed Regulation Title 27, California Code of Regulations Proposed Section 25205 Lead Agency Website

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 to add section 25205 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 16, 2015, in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2014, No 8-Z), which initiated a public comment period. Twenty-four written comments from the public were received during the comment period that ended April 8, 2015. In addition, OEHHA heard comments at a public hearing on the proposed regulation held on March 25, 2015.

After careful consideration of the comments, OEHHA has modified the text of the proposed regulation. Non-substantive changes were made to subsection (b) regarding OEHHA’s disclaimer on the website. Subsection (b)(10) was modified to limit the scope of the information OEHHA may request to information concerning exposures to listed chemicals for which warnings are being provided under Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6. A new subsection (c) was added to state that testing is not required for the sole purpose of providing information in response to a request for information under this section. Additionally, the fifteen (15) day notice period required for notification of a business under section (d) has been extended to thirty (30) days to allow a business additional time to provide additional justification or initiate legal proceedings to protect the claimed trade secrets. Finally, the term “Confidential Business Information” has been replaced with the term “trade secret” for consistency with the use of the term in the California Evidence Code and Public Records Act. The term “trade secret” is now defined by reference to Civil Code section 3426.1.

Included with this notice are copies of the regulatory language with the modified language provided in underline and strikeout format.

OEHHA will accept written comments on the amendments to the proposed regulation until June 15, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.

We encourage you to submit comments in electronic form, rather than in paper form.
