The answer to your questions is yes ... conditionally.  NIST's mission
deals more with fundamental standards, not radio propagation or policy.  
This particular topic is closer to the mission of NIST's sister agency
NTIA/ITS <http://its.bldrdoc.gov/index.php>.

I was told I could post the following:

   "The FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for BPL.  An NTIA
    report should be available to the public in about 5 weeks, which will
    make it among the first filings in response to the NPRM.  Over 5,190
    filings were made under the FCC NOI on BPL."

If this sort of thing interests you, take a look at the ISART conference
coming up next week <http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/meetings/art/index.php>.
