Federal Register Notices

Overview

NIOSH publishes Federal Register Notices to provide updates about Federal Advisory Committees, proposed data collections, proposed and final rules, and more. We periodically ask for public comment through the federal register to enhance the quality and credibility of our work. Any information submitted as a comment to a federal register notice is considered public information.
