 Proposition 65 - Changes to the P65 List
Chemicals Listed Effective March 26, 1999 or March 30, 1999 as Known to the State to Cause Reproductive Toxicity: Fenoxaprop ethyl, Metiram, and Nitropyrin
[03/26/99]

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding the three chemicals named below to the list of chemicals known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity, for purposes of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65 or the Act). The three chemicals are listed pursuant to an administrative mechanism provided under the Act, based upon a formal identification by an authoritative body that the chemical causes reproductive toxicity. Regulations governing the listing of chemicals under the "authoritative bodies" mechanism are published in Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 12306.

The reader is directed to the Notices of Intent to List Chemicals published in the December 4, 1998 (for fenoxaprop ethyl) and January 29, 1999 (for metiram and nitrapyrin) issues of the California Regulatory Notice Register for the supporting documentation which OEHHA relied upon in making its determination that the criteria for administrative listing have been satisfied. A complete, updated chemical list is published elsewhere in this issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register.

The three chemicals being listed under Proposition 65 as known to cause reproductive toxicity and their effective listing dates are shown below:

Chemical CAS No. Toxicological Endpoints Effective Listing Date
Fenoxaprop ethyl 66441-23-4 Developmental toxicity March 26, 1999
Metiram 9006-42-2  Developmental toxicity March 30, 1999
Nitrapyrin 1929-82-4   Developmental toxicity March 30, 1999
