Extension of the comment period for adoption of a Maximum Allowable Dose Level for bisphenol A.

Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee is scheduled to deliberate on the reproductive toxicity of deltamethrin and determine whether the chemical has been clearly shown through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles to cause reproductive toxicity.

2013 request for information on the possible Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL)  for exposures to bisphenol A (BPA).

OEHHA is withdrawing the notice of intent to list styrene via the Labor Code mechanism

OEHHA changes the basis for the listing of actinomycin D (CAS No. 50-76-0) as a chemical known to the state to cause cancer.  Actinomycin D was originally added to the Proposition 65 list as causing cancer via the Labor Code listing mechanism; the new basis for listing is via the formally required to be labeled or identified mechanism.

Extension of comment period to allow for the submission of scientific information for Bisphenol A.

Announcement of a public workshop on February 14, 2013, concerning OEHHA’s intent to list styrene as a chemical known to cause cancer under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

Effective February 8, 2013, C.I. Disperse Yellow 3  and 2,6-dimethyl-N-nitrosomorpholine (DMNM) were listed as "Known to the State of California " to cause cancer.

Intent to list the chemical Bisphenol A as known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity (developmental endpoint) under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. This action is being proposed under the authoritative bodies listing mechanism.

OEHHA is withdrawing the proposal at this time.  A public notice will be published in the event OEHHA decides to proceed with a proposed rulemaking at a later time.

In January 2013 OEHHA requested comments as to whether Bisphenol A meets the criteria set forth in the Proposition 65 regulations for authoritative bodies listings.

In January 2013 OEHHA proposed to adopt a Proposition 651 Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL) of 290 micrograms per day for exposures to bisphenol A (BPA).

OEHHA adopts a No Significant Risk Level of 96 micrograms per day for exposures to bromoethane

Comment Period - Notice of intent to list Styrene as a carcinogen by the Labor Code mechanism

Comment Period - Intent to change basis of listing for Actinomycin D from the Labor Code to listing via the formally required to be labeled or identified mechanism

The Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee is scheduled to meet on Monday, February 25, 2013, in the Coastal Hearing Room of the California Environmental Protection Agency

Intent to change basis of listing for Actinomycin D from the Labor Code to listing via the formally required to be labeled or identified mechanism.

OEHHA is removing dienestrol [CAS No. 84-17-3] from the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, for purposes of Proposition 651.  The delisting of dienestrol is effective JANUARY 4, 2013. 

Per court ruling, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) may not list a chemical as causing cancer under Proposition 65 pursuant to the Labor Code mechanism set out in Health and Safety Code section 25249.8(a), referencing Labor Code section 6382(d), solely on the basis of its identification by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as being possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), where that determination is based on less than sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and animals. The language in the court’s ruling applies to ten chemicals.
