Response to Comment on 2010 SOC:
Docket Number 08-0168

Docket No. 08-0168 requested that the title for the occupation 29-2021 Dental Hygienists be changed to "Registered Dental Hygienists." 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.
