The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) 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 Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)
is the lead agency for the implementation of Proposition 65.
On June 2, 2000, OEHHA published a notice in the California Regulatory
Notice Register (Register 2000, No. 22-Z)
soliciting information which may be relevant to the evaluation of
certain chemicals under consideration for possible administrative
listing within the context of the Proposition 65 administrative
listing regulatory criteria in Title 22 of the California Code of
Regulations (22 CCR) Section
12306.
A public forum was held on July 11, 2000 in Oakland, California
to provide an opportunity for interested parties to present oral
comments and to discuss the scientific data and other information
relevant to a determination whether these chemicals meet the criteria
for listing set forth in 22 CCR Section
12306. The public comment period closes on August 1, 2000 for
all chemicals (anthraquinone, bromate ion and its water soluble
salts, bromoethane, diuron, fumonisin B1, isoxaflutole, methyleugenol,
gemfibrozil, and zileuton) included in the June
2 notice, except AZT (3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine), CAS No. 30516-87-1.
OEHHA has received a request to extend the comment period for AZT
to allow for the submittal of complete and relevant scientific information.
OEHHA hereby extends the public comment period for AZT to
5 p.m., Friday, September 15, 2000.
Written comments on AZT, along with supporting information, may
be submitted in triplicate to:
