This message is to inform you of a notice of availability that was published on August 23, 2017 in the Federal Register. EPA is seeking public feedback on a proposed approach for developing voluntary criteria for organizations that credential radon service providers.
Currently, states receiving indoor radon grants from EPA may only list providers credentialed by one or both of two recognized credentialing bodies or by their state-run certification program. These criteria will establish an ongoing and open evaluation process for organizations wanting to credential radon service providers, and it will help states ensure high-quality radon services are available to their citizens.
This is a non-regulatory proposal designed to benefit state programs, small businesses and consumers.
To access the notice, please visit the Agency’s electronic docket (EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0430) on regulations: www.regulations.gov/document?D=EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0430-0001. You may submit your comments directly online via this hyperlink. The 60-day comment period closes on Monday, October 23, 2017.
Additional information can be found on our website at www.epa.gov/radon. Depending on volume of interest and questions received, EPA may host a question and answer session via webinar during the comment period. Please visit our website regularly for updates.
Thank you for your continued interest in the EPA’s Radon Program.
