IN THIS EDITION OF THE RadonLeaders.org EMAIL NEWSLETTER WE HIGHLIGHT TWO (2) MAJOR OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON IMPORTANT NATIONAL RADON ISSUES.
***
1. SHARE FEEDBACK:
US EPA is pleased to announce an opportunity to share feedback on the development of its Long-term Strategy on Radon.
This first feedback opportunity on RadonLeaders.org is meant to be the beginning of a conversation on the development of an EPA Long-term Strategy on radon.
Please visit http://www.radonleaders.org/discuss/longtermstrategy to provide feedback. Please be sure to review the background materials and other information before completing the feedback poll at the bottom of the page.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
*This is the FIRST OF THREE opportunities to share feedback and help EPA develop its Long-term Strategy on Radon.
*You can provide feedback during this first round through THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2009. Please visit RadonLeaders.org TODAY and share your thoughts.
Again, please visit RadonLeaders.org TODAY as the window for this first round of feedback is limited.
***
2. PLEASE COMMENT
-National Radon Chamber & Calibration Protocols/Standards: Specific Comments Sought on Chambers and Device Calibration
The State of Pennsylvania Radon Program has recently been developing a potential chamber policy that could be useful not only Pennsylvania’s own regulated program but also for non-regulatory states, tribes and other jurisdictions. Leaders in accredited standards organizations, as well as within the radon community and many state radon programs are seeking public discussion and feedback from the radon professional community on the proposed PA Chamber Policy (as a national discussion topic only).
Please visit http://www.radonleaders.org/discuss/standards for full details and to provide your comments.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
*Feedback is open until 11:59PM, SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2009
*This outreach effort is neither a regulatory nor an official standards process but an initial discussion with the radon professional community on the scope and need for such policies and standards. It is not connected with any work currently ongoing within the three accredited standards organizations (ASTM, ANSI, or AARST) currently working on radon standards in the United States.
