publicadas en los avisos anteriores al aviso co mplementario de una propuesta de reglamentación 
notificado, o eliminación de algunas de estas revisiones; y modificación de los ensayos en el sentido de representar mejor las condiciones de uso. Algunas de estas propuestas incluyen la 
incorporación, por referencia, de normas actua lizadas de este sector. El DOE aceptará las 
observaciones del público sobre cualquier cuestión relativa a este procedimiento de reglamentación.
