The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) announced a new date for its public workshop on nanomaterials. State budget constraints forced the agency to reschedule the meeting from its original date of August 13. The new date is Wednesday, September 22, 2010. The workshop will be held at the U.S. EPA Region 9 office in San Francisco, California.

Persons who previously registered are not required to re-register. However, DTSC has circulated an email to registrants requesting confirmation of their plans to attend on the new date.

At the workshop, DTSC and EPA will discuss the results of the carbon nanotube (CNT) information call-in that DTSC recently completed, future activities by DTSC on other nanomaterial call-ins, and U.S. EPA efforts related to CNTs and future regulatory plans for other nanomaterials.
