II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

meet its obligations to conduct special 

research, experiments, and 

demonstrations relating to occupational 

safety and health as are necessary to 

explore new problems, including those 

created by new technology in 

occupational safety and health. 

Specifically, in response to its 

authorities and stakeholder requests, 

NIOSH is pursuing a nanotechnology 

research program including a strategic 

mix of laboratory studies, field studies, 

and support for extramural studies. To 

assist in these activities, NIOSH is 

seeking information on nano-substances 

and other materials in the possession of 

EPA. 

EPA is issuing this notice to inform 

all submitters of information under all 

sections of TSCA that the Agency will 

be providing NIOSH access to these CBI 

materials on a need-to-know basis only. 

All access to TSCA CBI under this 

arrangement will take place at EPA 

Headquarters and the NIOSH 

Headquarters located at 4676 Columbia 

Parkway, Cincinnati, OH 45226. 

Clearance for access to TSCA CBI 

under this arrangement may continue 

until August 1, 2016. 

NIOSH personnel will be requried to 

sign non-disclosure agreements and be 

briefed on appropriate security 

procedures before they are permitted 

access to CBI.
