Announcement of Wednesday, December 4, 1996 meeting of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee to consider inorganic arsenic, cadmium, mechanisms for removing chemicals from the Proposition 65 list, and prioritization.

Meeting of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee to consider listing inorganic arsenic and cadmium.

This final statement of reasons sets forth the reasons for the repeal of Section 12713 (Exposure to Foods, Drugs, Cosmetics, and Medical Devices) and the amendment to Section 12701 (General), and responds to the objections and recommendations submitted regarding these actions. 

The purpose of this regulation is to provide "safe harbor" no significant risk levels for an additional 140 chemicals, below which the Act does not apply. 

This regulation adopts "no significant risk" levels for Hexachlorodibenzodioxin (HCDD) of 0.0002 microgram per day and 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) of 0.000005 microgram per day. 

This regulation adopts "no significant risk" levels in Section 12705, subsection (b), for the following chemicals: Arsenic, Butylated hydroxyanisole, Cadmium, and Chromium (hexavalent compounds). 

The purpose of this regulation is to provide "safe harbor" no significant risk levels for dichloromethane (methylene chloride), trichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride.

This regulation adopts no significant risk levels for Benzyl chloride of 4 micrograms per day and Bromodichloromethane of 5 micrograms per day. 

The purpose of this regulation is to provide a "safe harbor" level for toluene of 7,000 mlcrograms per day. 

This regulation adopts no significant risk levels for: Acrylamide, Allyl Chloride, Aniline, Azobenzene, DDVP (Dichlorvos), Folpet, Furmecyclox, Hydrazine, Hydrazine sulfate, 4,4'-Methylene bis(N,N-dimethyl)­ benzeneamine, N-Nitrosodiethanolamine, N-Nitrosomethylethylamine, Pentachlorophenol, and Hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha, beta, and gamma isomers).  

This regulation adopts a no significant risk level for benzene of 7 micrograms per day. 

This regulation will allow persons responsible for an exposure, discharge or release involving nickel and nickel compounds to determine whether such exposure, discharge or release is exempt from the Act.

This final statement of reasons sets forth the reasons for the amendment to section 12713 and responds to the objections and recommendations submitted regarding those amendments. 

This regulation adopts a no significant risk level for ethylene oxide of 2 micrograms per day.

This regulatory action amends subsection (b) of section 12703 to add two additional examples of public health considerations: (1) Where chemicals in food are produced by cooking necessary to render the food palatable or to avoid microbiological contamination; and (2) where chlorine disinfection in compliance with all applicable state and federal safety standards is necessary to comply with sanitation requirements. 

This proposed regulation adopts a no significant risk level for: Aldrin, Asbestos, Carbon tetrachloride, DDT/DDE/DDD, para-Dichlorobenzene, Dieldrin, 1,4-Dioxane, N-Nitrosodipropylamine, and Urethane.  

This regulation adopts no significant risk levels for: Acrylonitrile, Bis(chloromethyl) ether, 3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine, Epichlorohydrin, Hexachlorobenzene, Hexachlorocyclohexane (technical grade), and Polybrominated biphenyls. 

This final statement of reasons sets forth the reasons for the final language adopted by the Agency for section 12902 and responds to the objections and recommendations submitted regarding that section. This regulation provides uniform definitions and establishes a process by which the lead agency can evaluate chemicals for listing pursuant to this provision of the Act. 

The purpose of this regulation is to implement and make specific the provision of Health and Safety Code section 25249.8 which provides that a chemical is known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity "if a body considered to be authoritative by [the Panel] has formally identified it as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity." 

This final statement of reasons sets forth the reasons for the final language adopted by the Agency for section 12405 and responds to the objections and recommendations submitted regarding that section.
