Summary

NIH/NIEHS published a corrected notice reopening the 30-day public comment period for an information collection request regarding hazardous waste worker training under 42 CFR Part 65. The original notice was published on March 18, 2026. This correction notice extends the comment period for stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed training requirements for workers handling hazardous waste.

What changed

This notice corrects and reopens the comment period for an OMB information collection request concerning hazardous waste worker training requirements codified at 42 CFR Part 65. The original notice was published on March 18, 2026, and this corrected version extends the 30-day comment window. The collection pertains to training standards for workers who handle hazardous waste under NIH oversight.

Affected parties should submit public comments before the new deadline. Employers and institutions with hazardous waste worker training programs should review their current compliance status and provide input on the proposed information collection requirements. No specific compliance deadline or penalties were identified in this notice.

What to do next

  1. Review the corrected notice and prepare comments on the hazardous waste worker training information collection request
  2. Submit public comments through the designated Federal Register portal before the 30-day comment period closes
  3. Audit current hazardous waste worker training programs against 42 CFR Part 65 requirements in anticipation of final guidance

Legal Status 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.
