Nanotechnology Safety Act of 2010 |

| Report Type: |
Proposed Legislation |

| Country: |
United States of America |
| Organization: |
United States Senate |
| Summary: |
Senator Mark Pryor introduced this bill, the Nanotechnology Safety Act of 2010, in the 111th Congress. The bill requires, within 180 days of its enactment, the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish an FDA program to investigate nanomaterials in FDA-regulated products. This investigation will evaluate the potential toxicology of nanomaterials, the effects of nanoparticles on biological systems, and the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems. The bill also calls for the FDA to share data with other national and international activities and to carry out any other activities necessary and consistent with the purpose of the legislation. Execution of this mandate would be carried out by a newly designated program manager, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services would report to Senate committees in 2012 and 2014 on the short and long term goals of the program, an assessment of funding levels, and a review of the coordination of activities under the program with other departments participating in the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The bill appropriates $25 million in each fiscal year 2011-2015 for this program. As of June 2010, this bill remains in committee. |
