The California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is the lead agency for the implementation of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65 or the Act). As the lead agency, OEHHA has the explicit authority to develop regulations that specify and implement the statutory provisions of Proposition 65 (Health and Safety Code Section 25249.12). These regulations may be of a general nature, or they may refer to specific chemicals, products or circumstances that may be affected by the provisions of the Act. OEHHA has received a petition filed pursuant to Government Code Section 11340.6 proposing specific amendments to the warning regulations (Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 12601) under Proposition 65 concerning medical devices.

OEHHA has reviewed the petition and believes the idea of a regulatory provision specific to medical devices warrants public discussion. Accordingly, OEHHA will convene a workshop to solicit input from stakeholders and the public on the need for, and suggested possible content of, a regulation specifying warning requirements for medical devices. The workshop will be held on Thursday, September 21, 2000 in the Lower Level Board Room at the California Air Resources Board office, 2020 L Street, Sacramento, California [map]. The workshop will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will end when all business is conducted or 5:00 p.m. Parking is limited. Some metered parking is available (quarters only); and a small non-attendant parking lot is available between 17th and 18th Streets on the south side of L Street (up to $4.00 per day).

An agenda will be posted prior to the workshop in the download area below. Questions concerning the workshop may be directed to Ms. Cynthia Oshita or Mr. Allan Hirsch at (916) 445-6900.
