Financial Disclosure Requirements for OEHHA Committee Experts Finalized

California EPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)
has reported that the Office of Administrative Law approved regulatory
amendments that “clarify the qualifications for appointment to the
Carcinogen Identification Committee and Developmental and Reproductive
Toxicant Identification Committee, and remove redundant language
regarding required financial disclosures.” These committees review chemicals
for potential listing as known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive
toxicity under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
Additional information about the amendments, which take effect July 1, 2014,
appears in Issue 501 of this Update. See OEHHA News Release, April 29, 2014.
