CA to Develop Chemical Regulatory Framework
SAN FRANCISCO – The California EPA’s Department of Toxic Substance Control on Apr. 29-30 will hold a meeting for developing its own chemical regulatory framework.
The regulation must be developed by Jan. 1, 2011.
The public is invited to attend the meeting, which will be held in Sacramento, either in person or via Webcast; public comment will be taken in response to initiatives discussed.
The panel will provide advice and act as a resource to DTSC and the California Environmental Policy Council, which directs DTSC to 1) create analytical methods for safer chemical alternatives, and 2) identify and prioritize chemicals of concern.
To attend, contact Randi Jorgensen at rjorgens@dtsc.ca.gov.
