These include Edge and agreement corporations, bankers’ banks that are not subject to reserve requirements, and limited-purpose trust companies. The annual rate used to determine the daylight-overdraft penalty fee is equal to the annual rate applicable to the daylight overdrafts of other institutions (50 basis points) plus 100 basis points. The effective daily overdraft penalty rate equals the annual penalty rate divided by 360.81 The daylight-overdraft penalty rate applies to the institution’s daily average daylight overdraft in its Federal Reserve account. The daylightoverdraft penalty fee for these institutions is charged in lieu of, not in addition to, the daylight overdraft fee that applies to other institutions. ————— 81 The effective daily daylight-overdraft penalty rate is truncated to 0.0000416. * * * * * Add Part III. Policy on Overnight Overdrafts as follows: Part III. Policy on Overnight Overdrafts An overnight overdraft is a negative balance in a Federal Reserve account at the close of the business day. The Board expects institutions to avoid overnight overdrafts. To minimize the Reserve Banks’ exposure to overnight overdrafts, which are not always collateralized, the Board authorizes Reserve Banks to discourage depository institutions from incurring overnight overdrafts by charging a penalty fee. Institutions that do not extinguish their daylight overdrafts and incur overnight overdrafts are subject to ex post counseling in addition to a penalty fee. The Board establishes the following penalty rate structure for overnight overdrafts: 1. An overnight overdraft penalty rate of the primary credit rate plus 4 percentage points (annual rate). 2. A minimum penalty fee of 100 dollars, regardless of the amount of the overnight overdraft. The minimum fee is administered per each occasion. 3. A charge for each calendar day (including weekends and holidays) that an overnight overdraft is outstanding. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES ————— 92 See n. 33, which defines the term ‘‘business day’’ for this purpose. * * * * FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Formations of, Acquisitions by, and Mergers of Bank Holding Companies The companies listed in this notice have applied to the Board for approval, pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841 et seq.)

NIOSH assessed the potential health risks of occupational exposure to silver nanomaterials by evaluating the scientific literature. Studies in animals have shown adverse lung and liver effects associated with exposure to silver nanoparticles. Based on an assessment of those data, NIOSH developed a REL for silver nanomaterials. This new REL applies to processes that produce or use silver nanomaterials in the workplace. In addition, NIOSH continues to recommend its existing REL for total silver (metal dust and soluble compounds, as Ag) [www.cdc.gov/ niosh/npg/npgd0557.html]. In the CIB, NIOSH provides recommendations on the measurement and control of occupational exposures to silver and silver nanomaterials. NIOSH further recommends the use of workplace exposure assessments, engineering controls, safe work procedures, training, and education, and established medical surveillance approaches to prevent potential adverse health effects from occupational exposure to silver nanomaterials. NIOSH proposes research needed to fill remaining data gaps on the potential adverse health effects of occupational exposure to silver nanomaterials. John J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIOSH first published a request on December 
19, 2012, for information on occupational exposure to silver 
nanomaterials, possible health effects in workers exposed to silver 
nanomaterials, toxicology studies of silver nanomaterials in animals 
and cellular systems, and information on exposure measurement methods, 
control measures, and other data in the Federal Register [77 FR 75169]. 
In January 2016, NIOSH released a draft of the CIB for external review 
and published notices of a public meeting and comment period on January 
21, 2016 in the Federal Register [81 FR 342], and February 10, 2016 [81 
FR 7124]. A public meeting was held on March 23, 2016, and members of 
the public, stakeholders, and scientific peer reviewers were given the 
opportunity to provide comments by April 22, 2016. In response to those 
comments, NIOSH performed a second systematic review of the scientific 
literature through January 2017 to include additional publications on

studies of silver nanomaterials in animals and cellular systems. Based 
on review of the scientific literature, NIOSH revised the draft CIB and 
developed a recommended exposure limit (REL) for silver nanomaterials. 
The revised draft CIB was released for public review with a Federal 
Register notice on September 18, 2018 [83 FR 47174]. The notice 
included a request for comments from peer reviewers and the public and 
provided information regarding a second public meeting that was held on 
October 30, 2018. The purpose of the public review was to obtain 
comments on whether the NIOSH draft document (1) adequately and clearly 
described the scientific literature on the potential adverse health 
effects of silver nanomaterials, and (2) demonstrated that the NIOSH 
recommendations on occupational exposure to silver nanomaterials are 
consistent with current scientific knowledge. Public, stakeholder, and 
scientific peer reviewers were given the opportunity to submit comments 
to the docket by November 30, 2018.
    NIOSH carefully considered the comments received on the revised 
draft document. Reviewers provided comments on the NIOSH assessment of 
the potential adverse health effects of occupational exposure to silver 
nanomaterials, on the data and methods NIOSH used to develop a 
recommended exposure limit for silver nanomaterials, on the NIOSH 
recommended methods for assessing and controlling exposures to silver 
nanomaterials in the workplace, and on the identified data gaps and 
future research needs. In developing the final document, NIOSH 
performed an additional systematic literature search in April 2019 to 
determine if any subsequent studies in animals or humans had been 
published that pertained to the quantitative risk assessment and the 
derivation of a REL for silver nanomaterials. No additional studies 
were found that impacted those topics. NIOSH responded to the public, 
stakeholder, and peer review comments received and developed the final 
document consistent with the responses to comments. These comments and 
the NIOSH responses are available at: https://www.regulations.gov/search/docket?filter=cdc-2016-0001.
    The final CIB provides a comprehensive scientific review of the 
scientific literature pertaining to occupational exposure to silver 
nanomaterials. The literature includes studies of exposures to silver 
nanomaterials in the workplace, toxicological effects of exposure to 
silver nanomaterials in experimental animal and cellular systems, and 
effects of particle size and other properties on the toxicological 
effects of silver. NIOSH assessed the potential health risks of 
occupational exposure to silver nanomaterials by evaluating the 
scientific literature. Studies in animals have shown adverse lung and 
liver effects associated with exposure to silver nanoparticles. Based 
on an assessment of those data, NIOSH developed a REL for silver 
nanomaterials. This new REL applies to processes that produce or use 
silver nanomaterials in the workplace. In addition, NIOSH continues to 
recommend its existing REL for total silver (metal dust and soluble 
compounds, as Ag) [www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0557.html]. In the CIB, 
NIOSH provides recommendations on the measurement and control of 
occupational exposures to silver and silver nanomaterials.
    NIOSH further recommends the use of workplace exposure assessments, 
engineering controls, safe work procedures, training, and education, 
and established medical surveillance approaches to prevent potential 
adverse health effects from occupational exposure to silver 
nanomaterials. NIOSH proposes research needed to fill remaining data 
gaps on the potential adverse health effects of occupational exposure 
to silver nanomaterials.
