Office of Science and Technology Policy May 23, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on behalf of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), is extending the comment period for the notice announcing a request for information and comments that appeared in the Federal Register of April 5, 2023. In that notice, NNCO requested information and comments on updating the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Research Strategy. The NNCO is taking this action to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments. The NNI's current strategy was prepared in 2011, with substantial public engagement. Federal agencies participating in NSET's Nanotechnology Environmental and Health Implications (NEHI) Working Group have begun to review the 2011 NNI EHS Research Strategy and request input to help inform a revised and updated EHS strategy.
