> >Comments are due by August 21, 2006. One thing that has become clear from the 70 or so DCHAS-L survey responses I've received so far (thanks to everyone who has responded!) is that we have neglected to let people know who else is on the list and how it might be used for division and ACS. The New EPA Lab Rule is a good example. The ACS has a Task Force on Laboratory Environmental Health and Safety that has been consulting with the EPA about the shape of this new rule for about 3 years. The Task Force is charged with preparing the ACS' technical comments on this rule. Many of the 11 or so members of the task force are part of DCHAS and are on the DCHAS-L (including me). If you have comments you would like to have the task force consider, feel free to forward them to me and I'll bring them to the committee's attention. In the next few weeks, I'll provide more general background information about who's on the DCHAS-L list (how many people, what domains are represented, etc.) as well as the survey results. Please feel free to continue to send your surveys in. If you've lost your survey form, it's available in the list archives at http://list.uvm.edu/archives/dchas-l.html or let me know and I'll send you another copy. Let me know if you have any questions about this. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-5407
