This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Notice of draft document for public comment.
On May 1, 2015, the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), published a notice in the Federal Register [80 FR 24930] announcing the availability of and a request for comments for the draft immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) values and support technical documents, entitled IDLH Values Profiles, for 14 chemicals. Written comments were to be received before the end of the comment period on June 30, 2015. Due to subsequent requests from the public, this Notice announces that NIOSH is seeking further comments on the draft IDLH Value Profile for peracetic acid (CAS #79-21-0) http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docket/review/docket156a/pdfs/g1-013-peracetic-acid-cas-79-21-0.pdf for an additional 60 days.
Electronic or written comments on the draft IDLH Value Profile for peracetic acid must be received by October 11, 2016.
You may submit comments, identified by CDC-2016-0074 and docket number NIOSH 156-B, by either of the two following methods:
Instructions: All information received in response to this notice must include the agency name and docket number [CDC-2016-0074; NIOSH 156-B]. All relevant comments received will be posted without change to www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided. For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to www.regulations.gov.

The proposed IDLH value and draft IDLH Value Profile for peracetic acid is based on the process outlined in the NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 66—Derivation of Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) Values http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2014-100/pdfs/2014-100.pdf. The draft IDLH Value Profile was developed to provide the scientific rationale behind the derivation of the proposed IDLH value for peracetic acid. This includes a detailed summary of the health hazards of acute exposure to high airborne concentrations of peracetic acid and the rationale for the proposed IDLH value for peracetic acid.
To facilitate the review of this draft document, NIOSH requests that the following questions be taken into consideration:
1. Does this document clearly outline the health hazards associated with acute (or short-term) exposures to peracetic acid? If not, what specific information is missing from the document?
2. Are the rationale and logic behind the derivation of an IDLH value for peracetic acid clearly explained? If not, what specific information is needed to clarify the basis of the IDLH value? ( printed page 53148)
3. Are the conclusions supported by the data?
4. Are the tables clear and appropriate?
5. Is the document organized appropriately? If not, what improvements are needed?
6. Are you aware of any scientific data reported in governmental publications, databases, peer-reviewed journals, or other sources that should be included within this document?

Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
