Government Response: The guidance we have used for these general radiochemistry analyses is the

Multi-Agency Radiological Laboratory Analytical

Protocols (MARLAP) manual

(https://www.epa.gov/radiation/marlap-manual-and-s upporting-documents). MARLAP contains guidance from several agencies including United States

Environmental Protection Agency, United States

Department of Defense, United States Department of Energy, United States Department of Homeland

Security, United States Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, United States Food and Drug

Administration, United States Geological Survey, and National Institute of Standards and

Technology. A NELAC certification should cover

MARLAP protocols, including DoD and USEPA requirements, and should be the most important qualifying certification.

B. The response due date hereby remains unchanged for September 8, 2023 by 12:00 PM (MDT).
