The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is making a correction to the list of chemicals as known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity which was published on June 6, 2003 in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 03, No. 23-Z). Although not specifically named, nickel carbonate, was included in the October 1, 1989 group listing of "nickel and certain nickel compounds" listed as chemicals known to the State to cause cancer. Nickel carbonate was recently included in a June 6, 2003 public notice specifying Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers for the nickel compounds covered under the listing of "nickel and certain nickel compounds." Its CAS number was listed as 3333-39-3. It was recently brought to OEHHA's attention that the CAS number for nickel carbonate was listed incorrectly. The correct CAS number for nickel carbonate should be 3333-67-3.

Following is the correct listing for the chemical:
