NIST's Public Access Plan

The original NIST Plan for Providing Public Access to the Results of Federally Funded Research published in 2015 was replaced by the directives above.  The Plan and comments that were received in response to the Federal Register Notice announcing its availability for public comment, Docket Number 150414364-5364-01 are provided in NISTIR 8084. A revised plan was published in 2023 along with public comments; directives have not yet been updated to reflect the new plan. NIST continues to operate under the directives linked above.
