Delisting of TGIC from Prop 65

Effective December 13, 2013, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) removed 1,3,5-triglycidyl-s-triazinetrione from the list of chemicals known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity for purposes of Proposition 65. Based on changes to certain federal regulations that affect the bases for the original listings, OEHHA referred these chemicals to the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DART IC) for reconsideration. In its official capacity as the “state’s qualified experts” at a public meeting held on November 21, 2013, the DART IC determined that the five chemicals have not been clearly shown, through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles, to cause reproductive toxicity and should be removed from the list. Regulations governing the listing of chemicals by the DART IC are set out in Title 27, California Code of Regulations, section 25305(b)(1).

A complete, updated chemical list is published in this issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register and is available on the OEHHA website at www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.html.
