Extension of comment period.  Intent to list ethylene glycol as known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

Effective June 6, 2014, the basis for the listing of hexafluoroacetone and phenylphosphine under Proposition 65 as known to cause reproductive toxicity has changed. Originally the two chemicals were  added to the Proposition 65 list as causing reproductive toxicity via the “Labor Code mechanism” .  The new mechanism is the state’s qualified experts mechanism.

Chlorsulfuron delisted effective June 6, 2014 as known to the State of California to cause reproductive toxicity.

These regulatory amendments clarify the qualifications for appointment to the Carcinogen Identification Committee and Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee, and remove redundant language regarding required financial disclosures.

OEHHA will not proceed at this time with the Proposition 65 listing process for genistein.  For identification of reproductive toxicity (developmental toxicity endpoint) under Proposition 65 it is considered necessary that the evidence for developmental toxicity has resulted entirely or predominantly from prenatal exposure.  That is not the case for genistein. 

Workshop announcement on potential reguatory action: Warnings.
