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).
The Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) of OEHHA’s Science Advisory Board identifies chemicals for addition to the list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer, which is mandated by Health and Safety Code Section 25249.8. The Committee serves as the “State’s qualified experts” for determining whether a chemical has been clearly shown, through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles, to cause cancer.
A public meeting of this committee will be held on Monday, November 19, 2007 at the California Environmental Protection Agency Headquarters Building, Coastal Hearing Room, at 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California, beginning at 10:00 a.m. and continuing until all business has been conducted, or 5:00 p.m. [PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ROOM LOCATION HAS BEEN CHANGED SINCE THE MEETING WAS ORIGINALLY ANNOUNCED.] If you have special accommodation or language needs, please contact Cynthia Oshita at (916) 445-6900 or cynthia.oshita@oehha.ca.gov by November 14, 2007.
