The description of a proposed change to the department-approved quality assurance program must identify the change, the reason for the change, and the basis for concluding that the revised program incorporating the change continues to satisfy the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 71 subpart H.
DHS 157.94(6)(f)2.2. Each quality assurance program approval holder may change a previously approved quality assurance program without the prior approval of the department, if the change does not reduce the commitments in the quality assurance program previously approved by the department.
