Call for Comments
Persons, institutions and organizations affected by, or with an interest in, the Commission’s standards and policies are advised of proposed standards and of the date they will be given consideration by the Commission. This is accomplished by a memorandum from the Executive Director of the Commission, and comments are solicited.
