Green Chemistry. OEHHA has reviewed the comments it received in this second comment period and is now proposing amendments to the modified proposed regulation and is augmenting the administrative record.
A copy of the text of the amended proposed regulation is attached. Comments on Proposed Modified Regulation. Comments on Proposed Hazard Traits Regulation.
The next step will be DTSC establishing a date whereby manufacturers must submit alternative analyses. Spray polyurethane foam systems with Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate MDI was initially listed in but a trade group launched and lost an appeal to the agency. Hence, with the appeal over the process moves forward and manufacturers must notify DTSC by April 26, Things are picking up now with the Priority Work Plan. DTSC has selected the following categories from which it will propose future Priority Products for evaluation:.
Beauty and personal care products b. Cleaning products c. Household, school and workplace furnishings d. Building products and construction materials e. Consumable office, school and business supplies f. Food packaging g. Lead-acid batteries. Proposed Priority Products currently include: a nail; products containing toluene; b Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFAs in carpets and rugs c laundry detergents containing Surfactants nonylphenol ethoxylates NPEs and d paint and varnish strippers and graffiti removers containing N-methylpyrrolidone MNP.
Alphabet soup abbreviations aside, the regulations mandate that DTSC can only designate Priority Products from the categories proposed in the Work Plan, meaning the above will be the universe of the next batch of proposed Priority Products through and then this process will begin again for the Plan.
These categories are so broad, however, this listing is of little use as industries await the next move by the agency, as well as the next batch of proposed Products. Activity by the department is now accelerating and the reach of these regulations will become far reaching and touch more businesses.
