The CDC announced October 31 that two new modules of the Model Aquatic Health Code are ready for review.  These are the Facility Maintenance and Operation Module and the Hygiene Facilities Module.

To begin your review, here is the link to the CDC module review table for more information, including PDFs for download.  (Some of you may have received the announcement email from the CDC, but it included at least one bad link, so here’s another way to get to the information.)

Revised MAHC Draft Module Review Process

Some of you may have read our earlier post on the MAHC module review process.  It did include discrete steps, each of which had to be completed before the next could begin.  Now, in an attempt to speed up the process, the CDC is releasing modules “prior to their being fully complete and formatted.  These drafts will continue to be edited and revised while being posted for public comment.”

This obviously introduces the possibility that your comments will be made obsolete due to internal changes during the review process.  However, we urge you to press ahead with your comments anyway.  You never know if your points will be the same as the internal review produces.

Once Again:  Risk Management

Another reminder for you:  the Risk Management/Safety module that was released to public comment a few weeks ago will close to public comment on November 18.  Please take a look at that one also.

What are Your Thoughts on the Modules in Comment?

We will follow up on the Facility Maintenance and Hygiene Facilities modules in later posts.  We’d love to hear your comments on them!
