California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is the lead agency for the implementation
of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65). OEHHA has received a request from the California Paint Council
on behalf of the National Paint and Coatings Association (NPCA) that
OEHHA grant a safe use determination for the use of interior latex
paints used to cover or decorate the interior of buildings and the
potential exposure to airborne particles of crystalline silica of
respirable size that may result during the course of painting activities
(e.g., painting and sanding). The request is made pursuant to Section
12204 (formerly Section 12104) of Title 22 of the California Code
of Regulations (22 CCR). In accordance with the process set forth

Environmental Protection Agency Building, 1001 I Street, 2nd Floor,

for a safe use determination. The hearing will begin at 1:30 p.m.
