Neton, Associate Director for Science08/17/200700 PC-1Approved page change revision initiated to assign new documentowner and to correct PER statement from Rev 00. No PER wasrequired because Task 5 evaluation determined previously workedcases would not be adversely impacted (no compensability change)by the Rev 00 issuance of this TBD. No changes were needed as aresult of formal internal and NIOSH review. Training required: Asdetermined by the Task Manager. Initiated by Jackson R. Ellis.
