Attention all Health Physics Society members!! 👏
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is releasing a number of significant rule makings for public comment over the next several months, including a major revision to the Radiation Protection Framework now expected on July 2. The HPS President has requested that the Government Relations Committee coordinate the collection of member input so that the Health Physics Society can submit a single, official comment on the rule makings of greatest interest to our community.
We invite you to share your suggestions for the HPS comment collection through this designated Google Form: https://forms.gle/KR8FbXYwTDCBaFwz6.
Submitting through this form allows your input to be considered in the official HPS comment. The form collects member comments and routes them to the Executive Committee, Board, and President for review and compilation into the Society's official submission. Submitting here does not guarantee that any individual comment will appear verbatim in the final HPS comment, as input is synthesized into a single coordinated response.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Please select "Individual Comment" from the selection list if you are providing your individual comments.
- Section comments should be submitted by Section leadership only, so please coordinate Section-specific comments with your Section President or other elected members. NOTE: If you are commenting outside of your official Section leadership role, please select "Individual comment" on the form.
- You are encouraged to also submit your own individual comments directly and individually to the NRC through regulations.gov, independent of the HPS process. The HPS comment collection form is simply an avenue to have your perspective considered in the Society's official comment to NRC. NOTE: All official Section leadership comments should be routed through this HPS process.
To allow HPS leadership enough time to review and compile everything, please submit your comments no later than 10 days before the comment deadline published in the respective Federal Register Notice (FRN) for each rule making.
Thank you for lending your expertise to help ensure the Society's voice is well represented!!
