May 21, 2014 Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Committee Meeting

At its meeting on May 21, 2014 in Sacramento, the DARTIC will consider whether the three chemicals covered in the hazard identification document (Hazard Identification Materials to Support Reconsideration of Listing: Hexafluoroacetone, Phenylphosphine and Chlorsulfuron) should remain listed under Proposition 65 as known to cause reproductive toxicity.  The meeting will be held in the Sierra Hearing Room at the Cal/EPA Headquarters building, 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California.  The meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will last until all business is conducted or until 5:00 p.m.  The agenda for the meeting will be provided in a future public notice published in advance of the meeting.  OEHHA will send comments received on the hazard identification document for these chemicals to DARTIC members prior to the meeting.

OEHHA, a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency, is the lead agency for the implementation of Proposition 65.  The DART IC advises and assists OEHHA in compiling the list of chemicals known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity, as required by Proposition 65.  The DART IC serves as the state’s qualified experts for determining whether a chemical has been clearly shown through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles to cause reproductive toxicity.

OEHHA must receive comments and any supporting documentation on the hazard identification document by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 28, 2014.  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 “Labor Code or AB Chemicals Reconsideration” in the subject line.  Comments submitted in paper form may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the addresses below:
