Notices

Extension of public comment period.  Notice of proposed rulemaking to add a new subsection providing an alternative risk level for the chemical acrylamide in breads and cereals; and to add new “Safe Harbor” provisions specific to warnings for acrylamide exposures from food.

Extension of comment period: Workshop on potential regulatory action exempting from the Proposition 65 warning requirements, exposures from chemicals that form from natural constituents in food during cooking or heat processing.

Availability of hazard identification materials for perchlorate and announcement of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee meeting.

Chemicals listed effective May 20, 2005 as known to the state of California to cause cancer via the “Labor Code” mechanism: Cobalt sulfate, Diazoaminobenzene.

Availability of hazard identification materials for 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and announcement of the Carcinogen Identification Committee meeting.

Agenda for a 2005 Workshop to discuss a conceptual regulation that would exempt from the Proposition 65 warning requirements listed chemicals that form from natural constituents in foods during cooking.

Chemicals under consideration for possible listing as known to cause cancer via the Authoritative Bodies mechanisms: Request for relevant Information (Iprovalicarb, Nitrapyrin, Propoxur).

Notice of proposed rulemaking Title 22, California Code of Regulations. Amendments to Section 12601, Clear and Reasonable Warning: Acrylamide.

Notice of proposed rulemaking, Title 22, California Code of Regulations, amendments to Section 12705b and c, Specific Regulatory Levels Posing No Significant Risk.

Workshop on potential regulatory action exempting exposures from chemicals that form from natural constituents in food during cooking or heat processing from the Proposition 65 warning requirements.

Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposes to amend Title 22, California Code of Regulations, section 12705 to add a new subsection providing an alternative risk level for the chemical acrylamide in breads and cereals.

Extension of comment period.  Notice of intent to list butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), di-n-hexyl phthalate (DnHP), and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) under Proposition 65 as chemicals known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity.

Extension of public comment period; Notice of proposed rulemaking. Use of specified methods of detection and analysis for listed chemicals for voluntary compliance testing.

Notice of Intent to List chemical as causing reproductive toxicity under the authoritative bodies mechanism: 2-bromopropane

OEHHA will publish formal notices proposing a series of regulatory actions to address the issue of acrylamide exposures from foods under Proposition 65.

Request for comments on proposed listing of cobalt sulfate and diazoaminobenzene as known to cause cancer.

Notice of Repeal of Regulations, Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 12901 Methods of Detection

Chemical Listed Effective March 4, 2005 as known to the state of California to cause cancer via the Authoritative Bodies mechanism: 2,4-Hexadienal (89% trans, trans isomer; 11% cis, trans isomer).

Notice of Intent to List Chemicals as causing reproductive toxicity under the authoritative bodies mechanism: Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), Di-n-hexyl phthalate (DnHP), Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP)

NOTE: Following the March 23, 2005 Safe Use Determination public hearing, OEHHA determined that issuance of an Interpretive Guideline would be the more appropriate course of action.
