Reminders

The first full version of the MAHC is coming soon, and we want your feedback! We plan to release the first full version of the MAHC—a combination of all revised modules and supplemental information—in spring 2014 for a 60-day public comment period.

We will announce when the full version is posted and we are accepting public comments for 60 days.

You can monitor the status of all modules on the MAHC website.
