In 2019, NIOSH published a Technical Report on occupational exposure banding guidance [NIOSH 2019]. The information presented in these Technical Reports represents the most recent update of the scientific rationale and methodology for establishing hazard values for chemicals, which includes ENMs. The development of an OEL for an individual chemical involves a critical review of the available scientific data in humans and animals to identify relevant studies and to characterize the various lines of evidence that can support the derivation of the OEL. NIOSH requests information for ENMs to include human, animal, and cellular toxicology data, including but not limited to: Acute, subchronic, or chronic data; the physicochemical characterization of those ENMs; and other information about the biological mechanisms and E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1
