Sheet 6: Testing & Certifications

2024 EPA State Indoor Radon Grant (SIRG) Annual Reporting Template


Frequency of Report: Annual / Biannual / Quarterly [NOTE: Each Region will select one option]






General Radon Reporting Information
Instructions: In "ROP10" report number of mitigations and/or number of homes built with RRNC then multiply by average number of individuals per


household (census data available by state). The U.S. Census Bureau website provides data on “persons per household.” Use the listed national average or


enter a state or locality into the provided search function for more specific data.






Example calculation: A state has 4,000 mitigations and 3,000 RRNC = 7,000 homes with reduced radon. The average household in the state is 2.68 people.


The # of individuals with reduced exposure is 7,000 x 2.68 = 18,760
