2026-17082Final rule

Traffic and Conduct on the Grounds of Certain National Institute of Standards and Technology Sites

By this rule, NIST amends its regulations governing traffic and conduct at its sites in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado. This rule amends those regulations by removing excessive and redundant restrictions on personal conduct, updating or removing sections with outdated references or requirements, and broadening an exception regarding the use of service dogs. This action is necessary to ensure that NIST's regulations conform to the scope of the underlying statutory authorities and to reduce regulatory complexity, redundancy, and burden. This action is intended to promote statutory conformity, administrative efficiency, and accessibility for people with disabilities, without imposing any new obligations or costs on the public.

2026-08018Final rule

Eliminating Regulations Establishing Fellowships in Laboratory Standardization and Testing for Foreign Citizens

By this rule, NIST removes its regulations establishing fellowships in laboratory standardization and testing for foreign citizens of "other American republics." This action is necessary because no statute specifically requires or contemplates the promulgation of these regulations and because there has not been any active program under these regulations in decades. The removal of these regulations will streamline the Code of Federal Regulations, thereby promoting administrative simplicity and efficiency, and also reprioritize U.S. interests.

2026-03307Final rule

Eliminating Obsolete Marking Requirements for Toy, Look-Alike, and Imitation Firearms

By this rule, NIST removes its regulation setting forth marking requirements for toy, look-alike, and imitation firearms. Pursuant to statutory amendments made by the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, the subject regulation now lacks an underlying statutory authorization and has been rendered obsolete by the new, operative marking requirements issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The removal of the subject NIST regulation is therefore necessary to reflect the current state of the underlying law and to eliminate obsolete regulatory language. This action is intended to minimize the risk of public confusion regarding the applicable marking requirements and governing authority for toy, look-alike, and imitation firearms and to promote administrative efficiency.

2026-03303Final rule

Eliminating Obsolete Regulations Related to the Advanced Technology Program and the Technology Innovation Program

By this rule, NIST removes the regulations outlining the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) and the Technology Innovation Program (TIP), both of which now lack authorization and, operationally, are no longer active. This action is necessary to reflect the repeal of the underlying statutory provision and to ensure that NIST's regulations remain current and up-to-date. This action is intended to minimize the risk of confusion and/or distraction and to promote efficiency.
