Comment Period - Notice of Intent to List Chemicals: Chloroprene, Cobalt sulfate heptahydrate, Fenoxycarb
In a public notice published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on December 4, 1998 (Register 98, No. 49-Z), OEHHA solicited comments and information relevant to the evaluation of these chemicals in the context of the regulatory criteria for authoritative bodies listing under Proposition 65. A public forum was held on January 11, 1999. The public comment period closed on February 2, 1999. Comments were received on all three chemicals and OEHHA has completed its review of the comments and determined that each chemical meets the criteria for authoritative bodies listing. A document providing the basis for the listing of these chemicals can be obtained from OEHHA's Proposition 65 Implementation Office at the address and telephone number indicated below. Under the authoritative bodies mechanism, objections to a listing shall be made on the basis that there is no substantial evidence that the criteria of sufficiency of evidence of carcinogenicity identified in 22 CCR, Section 12306 have been satisfied. Anyone wishing to object to the listing of these chemicals should submit written comments in triplicate, along with supporting documentation, by mail or by fax to:
Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
Post Office Box 4010
Sacramento, CA 95812-4010
Fax No.: (916) 327-1097
Telephone: (916) 445-6900
Comments may also be hand-delivered to the Proposition 65 Office at the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at the same address.
In order to be considered, comments must be postmarked (if sent by mail) or received at OEHHA (if hand-delivered or sent by fax) by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 17, 2000.
