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

Resumo

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.
