Requirements
- 112(r) Decision Tree (pdf) - A flowchart designed to help in determining whether a facility is subject to 112(r) and, if the facility is covered, which Program Level the facility falls under.
- Program Level Requirements Chart (pdf) - A chart listing the requirements of each Program Level in 112(r).
