These criteria shall include, but not be limited to, the traits, characteristics, and endpoints that are referenced in Section 25256. (2) In adopting regulations pursuant to this section, the department shall reference and use, to the maximum extent feasible, available information from other nations, governments, and authoritative bodies that have undertaken similar chemical prioritization processes, so as to leverage the work and costs already incurred by those entities and to minimize costs and maximize benefits for the stateâs economy.
