Radiological Health (CDRH) to easily and efficiently elicit and review
[[Page 6729]]
information from students and health care professionals who are
interested in becoming involved in CDRH activities. The process will
reduce the time and cost of submitting written documentation to the
agency and lessen the likelihood of applications being misrouted within
the agency mail system. It will assist the agency in promoting and
protecting the public health by encouraging outside persons to share
their expertise with CDRH.

published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information
