Developing a Privacy Framework

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Department 
of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
extends the period for submitting written comments on the request for 
information (RFI) entitled ``Developing a Privacy Framework,'' 
published on November 14, 2018. The public comment period was 
originally to close on December 31, 2018; the comment period is 
extended to now end on January 14, 2019. NIST is taking this action to 
provide additional time to submit comments because multiple interested 
parties have expressed difficulty in submitting comments by the 
original deadline and have asked for an extension.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 14, 2019 at 5:00 
p.m. Eastern Time.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted by mail to Katie 
MacFarland, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau 
Drive, Stop 2000, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. Electronic submissions may be 
sent to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#89f9fbe0ffe8eaf0effbe8e4ecfee6fbe2c9e7e0fafda7eee6ff"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7606041f0017150f1004171b130119041d36181f050258111900">[email protected]</span></a>, and may be in any of the following 
formats: HTML, ASCII, Word, RTF, or PDF. Please cite ``Developing a 
Privacy Framework'' in all correspondence. Comments received by the 
deadline will be posted at http://www.nist.gov/privacyframework without 
change or redaction, so commenters should not include information they 
do not wish to be posted (e.g., personal or confidential business 
information). Comments that contain profanity, vulgarity, threats, or 
other inappropriate language or content will not be posted or 
considered.

notice and RFI in the Federal Register (83 FR 56824), about developing

December 31, 2018. Multiple interested parties have expressed 
difficulty in submitting comments by the original deadline, and have 
asked for an extension. In light of these requests, NIST extends the 
period for submitting public comments to January 14, 2018. Previously 
submitted comments do not need to be resubmitted.
