Background
The World War One Centennial
Commission was established by Public
Law 112–272 (as amended), as a
commission to ensure a suitable
observance of the centennial of World
War I, to provide for the designation of
memorials to the service of members of
the United States Armed Forces in
World War I, and for other purposes.
Under this authority, the Committee
will plan, develop, and execute
programs, projects, and activities to
commemorate the centennial of World
War I, encourage private organizations
and State and local governments to
organize and participate in activities
commemorating the centennial of World
War I, facilitate and coordinate activities
throughout the United States relating to
the centennial of World War I, serve as
a clearinghouse for the collection and
dissemination of information about
events and plans for the centennial of
World War I, and develop
recommendations for Congress and the
President for commemorating the
centennial of World War I. The
Commission does not have an
appropriation and operates solely on
donated funds.
Agenda: Wednesday, March 22, 2017.

Background: The NIOSH Manual of
Analytical Methods (NMAM) was first
published in 1974 and currently
contains over 300 methods that can be
used by occupational safety and health
professionals to measure worker
exposures to chemical and biological
agents. In addition to the methods, the
NMAM contains chapters that offer
guidance on workplace air sampling,
instrumentation, analytical protocols,
and quality assurance. The draft chapter
entitled, ‘‘Analysis of Carbon Nanotubes
and Nanofibers on Mixed Cellulose
Ester Filters by Transmission Electron
Microscopy,’’ is proposed for addition
to NMAM and provides standardized
approaches for the analysis of carbon
nanoparticles. These standardized
approaches are meant to harmonize
analytical techniques, enabling
comparison of results between studies
and fostering optimal data quality.
NIOSH scientists published studies on
the microanalysis of airborne
carbonaceous nanomaterials, and this
research has led to the procedures
described in this chapter. The chapter
provides detailed guidance on effective
means to perform transmission electron
microscopic analysis on carbon
nanotubes and nanofibers that are
sampled from occupational
atmospheres. This draft chapter has
previously undergone scientific peer
review and is proposed for inclusion in
the 5th edition of NMAM (www.cdc.gov/
niosh/nmam).
Information Needs: NIOSH is seeking
public review and comment on this
document from anyone with an interest
in analysis of carbon nanoparticles.
