Title: Engineered Nanoscale Materials and Derivative Products: Regulatory Challenges
Authors: Linda-Jo Schierow, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: Questions about the need for, and ideal form of, regulation for nanotechnology are exceedingly difficult to address, given the current state of scientific understanding of engineered nanoscale materials. The purpose of this report is to consider certain challenges faced by federal EHS risk assessors, risk managers, and policy makers, and to discuss possible legislative approaches to address those challenges.
