Examine these approaches using the best practices for inherently safer process assessment identified under Task 1. • Estimate projected costs of alternative approaches identified above. • Compare the inherently safer process assessments conducted by Bayer and previous owners of the Institute site with benchmarks established under Task 1. WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES Deliverables For each task, the NAS shall provide a monthly progress report to the CSB from inception to completion. The NAS should promptly notify the CSB of any problems encountered or other matters that require CSB attention. The principal deliverable item is a detailed written report of the expert panel addressing each point in Tasks 1 and 2, above. The report should be produced within 12 months of the initiation of the project. The panel may conduct public hearings in West Virginia, or elsewhere, as appropriate. Questions for Public Comment 1. Does the proposed Task Statement include the appropriate topics for consideration by the NAS? Are there any additional general or specific topics the NAS panel will need to consider in order to reach a satisfactory answer on the feasibility and costs of reducing the use and storage of MIC? 2. If funds are available, should the CSB initiate a second, related study to consider the feasibility, costs, and benefits of inherently safer alternatives to other chemicals? For example, should a study consider alternatives to the use of hydrogen fluoride in refinery alkylation processes and/or to the use of chlorine in water treatment? What other chemicals or processes should be considered if a second study is undertaken? 3. What kinds of backgrounds and expertise should be represented on the NAS panel? 4. Is the proposed timetable appropriate? Electronic Submission of Comments Electronic submission of comments is preferred. Comments should be submitted by e-mail to nascomments@csb.gov.

The SIPP has provided these kinds of data on a continuing basis since 1983, permitting levels of economic well-being and changes in these levels to be measured over time. The survey is molded around a central ‘‘core’’ of labor force and income questions that remain fixed throughout the life of a panel. The core is supplemented with questions designed to answer specific needs, such as estimating eligibility for government programs, examining pension and health care coverage, and analyzing individual net worth. These supplemental questions are included with the core and are referred to as ‘‘topical modules.’’ The topical modules for the 2008 Panel Wave 7 are as follows: Medical Expenses and Utilization of Health Care (Adults and Children), Work-Related Expenses and Child Support Paid, and Assets, Liabilities, and Eligibility. These topical modules were previously conducted in the SIPP 2008 Panel Wave 4 instrument. Wave 7 interviews will be conducted from September 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. The SIPP is designed as a continuing series of national panels of interviewed households that are introduced every few years, with each panel having durations of approximately 3 to 4 years. The 2008 Panel is scheduled for four years and four months and includes thirteen waves which began September 1, 2008. All household members 15 years old or over are interviewed using regular proxy-respondent rules. They are interviewed a total of thirteen times (thirteen waves), at 4-month intervals, making the SIPP a longitudinal survey. Sample people (all household members present at the time of the first interview) who move within the country and reasonably close to a SIPP primary sampling unit (PSU) will be followed and interviewed at their new address.
