Notice of Public Hearing and Extension of Public Comment Period: Amendments to Article 6, Clear and Reasonable Warnings Short-form Warnings

On January 8, 2021, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposed amendments to certain sections of the regulations for safe harbor warnings. Specifically, the proposed amendments would modify the content and methods for providing short-form warnings.^[1] The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the proposed amendments was published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on January 8, 2021 (Z-2020-1229-01), and initiated a 60-day public comment period. OEHHA has received a request from The Gorilla Glue Company to hold a public hearing on the proposed amendments.

OEHHA has scheduled a public hearing on March 11, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. In accordance with Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders N-29-20 and N-33-20 as well as recommendations from the California Department of Public Health, the hearing will not have a physical location. The hearing will be conducted remotely. Information concerning how to participate in the hearing will be posted on our website prior to the hearing. The public comment period for this regulatory action is being extended to March 29, 2021, to accommodate the hearing.
