SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA published the Notice of Proposed
Radon Credentialing Criteria on March 22, 2023, in the Federal Register
(88 FR 17215), which included a request for comments and key questions,
on or before May 22, 2023, on The Proposed Radon Credentialing Criteria
document (available in the docket). The purpose of this Notice is to
extend the public comment period.
Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-
0430, at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> (our preferred method), or the
other methods identified in the ADDRESSES section.
A. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for the EPA?
Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from the
docket. The EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket.
Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. The written comment is considered
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you
wish to make. The EPA will generally not consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web,
cloud, or
[[Page 31265]]
other file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

1. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
<bullet> Identify the notice by docket number, subject heading,
Federal Register date, and page number.
<bullet> Provide a brief description of yourself and your role or
organization before addressing the questions.
<bullet> Identify the question(s) you are responding to from the
KEY QUESTIONS section by question number when submitting your comments.
You do not need to address every question.
<bullet> Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives
and substitute language for your requested changes.
<bullet> Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
<bullet> If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow it to be
reproduced.
<bullet> Illustrate your concerns with specific examples and
suggest alternatives.
<bullet> Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
use of profanity or personal threats.
<bullet> Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
B. How can I learn more about this?
The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0430 that includes the Proposed Radon Credentialing
Criteria document, which is the subject of this notice. Please refer to
the original Federal Register for information about this proposed
action and a list of key questions on which the Agency is seeking
feedback.
The EPA hosted a public information session on April 12, 2023. To
access a recording of the session, accompanying slides and a Questions
and Answers document, visit EPA's radon website at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/radon/epas-draft-criteria-radon-credentialing-organizations">https://www.epa.gov/radon/epas-draft-criteria-radon-credentialing-organizations</a>. The
information session covered the EPA's role in overseeing the quality of
radon service providers as well as conformity assessment and
application of voluntary consensus standards within federal programs,
including the proposed criteria.
We are extending the public comment period through June 21, 2023.
This action will provide the public additional time to provide
comments.

Director, Office of Radiation and Indoor Air.
