Comment Period - Notice of Intent to Change the Basis for Listing as Known to the State of California to Cause Reproductive Toxicity: Carbaryl
OEHHA has reviewed the study reports identified by NIOSH (1976) as providing the basis for NIOSH’s conclusions regarding the male reproductive, female reproductive and developmental toxicity of carbaryl, relative to the criteria in Section 25306(g). The criteria for listing carbaryl as known to cause reproductive toxicity by the authoritative bodies mechanism have been met. Therefore, OEHHA has determined that carbaryl must stay on the Proposition 65 list.
Request for comments: OEHHA is requesting comments as to whether this chemical meets the criteria set forth in the Proposition65 regulations for listings via the authoritative bodies mechanism (Section 25306), and should, therefore, remain on the list of chemicals known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity, with the additional endpoint of female reproductive toxicity.
In order to be considered, comments must be received by OEHHA by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 9, 2013. We encourage you to submit comments in electronic form, rather than in paper form. Comments transmitted by e-mail should be addressed to P65Public.comments@oehha.ca.gov. Please include “carbaryl” in the subject line. Comments submitted in paper form may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the address below.
