SUPFLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An Advance Notice of Rulemaking on Certification of Personnel Dosimetry Processors appeared in the FEDERAL REGISTER March 28, 1980, on which the coment period was to close May 27, 1980. The coment period is hereby extended 30 additional days, to June 27, 1980, to allow attendees to the Public Meeting also being announced by this Notice time to supplement or revise their comments on the Advance Notice. The Commission staff believes that it would be helpful in this rulemaking process (1) to provide an opportunity in an open forum for discussion of reasons for poor perfonnance by some dosimetry processors in a pilot study recently conducted for the NRC_ by the University of Michigan, and for pilot study participants to discuss with each other and the NRC staff any experiences during the pilot study which led to process improvements or which for
~
any other reason should be taken into consideration by the staff (this meeting and the Advance Notice should provide processors with the opportunity to discuss and to effect necessary process changes well before the new regulations go into effect), (2) to review the Advance Notice of Rulemaking and the regulatory alternatives identified therein, (3) to discuss the elements of dosimetry quality assurance programs, and (4) to obtain oral coments.
