Announcement of chemicals selected in 2011 by OEHHA for consideration for listing by the Carcinogen Identification Committee and request for relevant information on the carcinogenic hazards of these chemicals: clomiphene and its salts, 2,6-dimethyl-N-nitrosomorpholine, haloperidol, tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP).

Notice of intent to list MON 4660 (dichloroacetyl-1-oxa-4-azaspiro(4.5)decane), MON 13900 (furilazole), and pymetrozine as known to the State to cause cancer via the authoritative bodies listing mechanism.

Public comment period on the proposal to establish a specific regulatory level posing no significant risk for 4-methylimidazole and amend Title 27, California Code of Regulations, section 25705.

Proposal to establish a specific regulatory level posing no significant risk for 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) of 16 ug/day

4-Methylimidazole (4-MEI) is listed effective January 7, 2011 as known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Metam potassium listed as known to the State to cause cancer effective December 31, 2010 via the Authoritative Bodies listing mechanism.

The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986¹ (Proposition 65 or the Act), which is codified as Health and Safety Code section 25249.5 et seq., requires the Governor to publish, and update at least annually, a list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.  The Act describes the mechanisms for administratively listing chemicals as known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity (Health and Safety Code section 25249.8).

On October 22, 2010, OEHHA published a notice in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 10 No. 43-Z) soliciting information which may be relevant to the evaluation of kresoxim-methyl (CAS No. 143390-89-0) under consideration for possible listing within the context of the Proposition 65 administrative listing regulatory criteria in Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations section 25306.

The publication of the notice initiated a 60‑day public comment period which would have closed on December 21, 2010.  OEHHA has received a request from interested parties seeking an extension of the comment period to allow for the submission of complete and relevant scientific information for kresoxim-methyl.  OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period for this chemical until 5 p.m., Thursday, January 20, 2011. 

We encourage you to submit comments in electronic form, rather than in paper form.  Comments transmitted by e-mail should be addressed to sam.delson@oehha.ca.gov.  Comments submitted in paper form may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the addresses below:
