Committee on Government Relations
Committee Charges
The Government Relations Committee is charged with reviewing federal regulations and congressional legislation that could possibly affect the nuclear medicine community as such policy issues arise. To that end, we deal with the following federal agencies:
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Department of Energy (DOE)
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
To accomplish our goals, we lobby directly and with contractors and have established good communication and working alliances with industry partners and other professional organizations associated with nuclear medicine. This includes, but is not limited to CORAR, ACR, AMI, ASNC, and NEI. Many of the Committee's Actions are reported here.
