OEHHA announces the availability for public review of the documents entitled: “Evidence on the Carcinogenicity of Butyl Benzyl Phthalate” and “Evidence on the Carcinogenicity of Diisononyl Phthalate.” 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 butyl benzyl phthalate and diisononyl phthalate. The data call-in period for butyl benzyl phthalate opened on November 23, 2012 and closed on January 22, 2013. The data call-in period for diisononyl phthalate opened October 16, 2009 and closed on February 16, 2010.
