NEWSBYTE: California Releases Draft Safer Consumer Products Regulation

California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has released a new draft of the Safer Consumer Products regulation, commonly known as the “green chemistry” regulation for public review and comment. The new proposal, among other changes, immediately establishes a list of chemicals of concern, expands who would be responsible for compliance, shortens many timeframes, and lowers the acceptable limit for exempting certain chemicals. The DTSC will host a public workshop on December 5, 2011 to discuss the draft regulation. The deadline for submitting written comments to the DTSC is December 30, 2011.
