Docket Number 08‐0341 : Response to Comments on 2010 SOC : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Docket No. 08-0341 requested that the title for proposed SOC occupation 29-1141 Nurse Anesthetists be changed to "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists." The SOCPC did not accept this recommendation, based on Classification Principle 2 which states that occupations are classified based on work performed. It is not a convention of the SOC to use the term "registered" unless it is necessary to distinguish the occupation from another.
