This notice is to inform the public that we have contracted with a professional form development contractor to provide recommendations for the layout of the form consistent with RSPA's goals outlined in the NPRM. Also, the contractor will provide a web-based form to fulfill RSPA's goal of electronic, internet-based reporting and will draft detailed instructions to assist in completing the forms. Members of the regulated community may be contacted to participate in focus groups to test the proposed form and subsequent alternative layouts developed by the contractor. The contract is expected to be completed by December 31, 2002.
