Update  -  Intent to Establish Voluntary Criteria for Radon Credentialing Organizations
Docket ID:	EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0430

In August 2017 EPA issued a Federal Register Notice (82 FR 39993) outlining a proposed plan to help ensure access to quality radon service providers. This proposal discussed the Agency's plan to establish criteria for radon credentialing organizations based on voluntary consensus standards and international conformity assessment activities.  
EPA has analyzed comments received regarding the proposal, drafted a response to comments document and is working to complete an Agency review of the document. This review has taken longer than anticipated, and EPA has not yet moved forward with its planned listening sessions. The listening sessions will provide stakeholders an opportunity to hear about and respond to potential paths forward that the Agency has identified as a result of the comments received and additional research conducted. Comments received during the listening sessions and in response to the notice will inform the Agency's final position.  
The Agency plans to hold listening sessions as soon as possible and will provide periodic updates on the status of the listening sessions on its website -- https://www.epa.gov/radon/learn-more-about-epas-plans-establish-voluntary-criteria-radon-credentialing-organizations .
