That's great news that they have opened the comment period up for us.

In the FILES section (in the NIMS folder) you will find the old
document (111806) and the new one (3-08). Please review them to see
what has been changed. Please go to the website and post your
comments. Have an issue and a reason why it is an issue.

Anyone who has sent comments to me, can you please post them to this
website. I will send your e-mails back to you.

If you have any questions on the document, please contact me.

Regarding the Canine Disaster Human Remains - I have already been
told that the NJ-TF1 standard will be replaced by the SUSAR Disaster
Recovery document. SUSAR's document wasn't approved prior to the NIMS
Work Group meeting. Now that SUSAR has a Disaster Recovery standard,
it will be used.

Thanks

Jim Bastan
