Intent to List: Ethylene Glycol - Additional Extension of Comment Period

On May 9, 2014 OEHHA extended the public comment period to June 11, 2014. OEHHA has since received a request from the PET Resin Association seeking an additional extension of the comment period. OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period until 5 p.m., Wednesday, June 25, 2014.
