CDC Publishes Request for Comments on HCl IDLH

Today, the CDC published a request for comments in the Federal Register (88 FR 54319-54320) for “Request for Public Comment on the Draft Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) Value Document for Hydrogen Chloride”. The draft document is available online, the 2014 version is available on the NIOSH website.

The CDC is soliciting public input on six specific questions:

1. Does this document clearly outline the health hazards associated with acute (or short-term) exposures to the chemical? If not, what specific information is missing from the document?

2. Are the rationale and logic behind the derivation of an IDLH value for a specific chemical clearly explained? If not, what specific information is needed to clarify the basis of the IDLH value?

3. Are the conclusions supported by the data?

4. Are the tables clear and appropriate?

5. Is the document organized appropriately? If not, what improvements are needed?

6. Are you aware of any scientific data reported in government publications, databases, peer-reviewed journals, or other sources that should be included within this document?

Comments may be submitted via the Federal eRulemaking Portal (www.Regulations.gov; docket # CDC–2023–0057). Comments should be submitted by October 10th, 2023.
