NIOSH received comments from a range of respondents including academia, government agencies, industry, and other interested parties. All comments received were reviewed and addressed where appropriate. On the basis of comments received, NIOSH provided clarification in the final document to indicate that the guidance for occupational exposure banding describes a voluntary, consistent, and documented process with a decision logic to characterize chemical hazards so that timely, well-informed risk management decisions can be made for chemical substances that lack occupational exposure limits. Additional comments pertaining to usability, clarity of the guidance, and validation were addressed throughout the document and in specifying future research needs.
