What the agency says
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regulations by removing excessive and redundant restrictions on personal conduct, updating or removing sections with outdated references or requirements, and broadening an exception regarding the use of service dogs.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.
