Notice of Modifications to Text of Proposed Regulations Title 22, California Code of Regulations Sections 12705 and 12805
Pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 11346.8(c), and Section 44 of Title 1 of the California Code of Regulations, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is providing notice of changes made to proposed regulations, Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Sections 12705 and 12805. These proposed regulations were originally the subject of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued on June 8, 2001. A public hearing was held on July 23, 2001. Written and oral testimony was accepted at the hearing. In addition, written comments were received during the 45-day public comment period which ended on July 23, 2001. On February 11, 2002, OEHHA issued a Notice of Modifications to Text of Proposed Regulations withdrawing eight chemicals from the proposed rulemaking in order for OEHHA to review comments regarding these eight chemicals. OEHHA has reviewed the comments and is now proposing to adopt proposed No Significant Risk Levels (NSRLs) and Maximum Allowable Dose Levels (MADLs) for seven of the eight chemicals previously withdrawn. These chemicals are: benzene, cadmium, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), lead, lead acetate, lead phosphate and lead subacetate. This notice also announces the availability of the modified proposed regulatory text for public comment.
For any comments regarding the proposed changes to the text of regulations, OEHHA will accept written comments between March 29, 2002 and April 16, 2002. All written comments must be submitted to OEHHA by mail, fax, courier or hand-delivery, no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 16, 2002, and addressed to:
