Thorough guidelines for decontaminating 3D prints (US gov't task force)

I saw the Prusa Knowledge Base article posted about sanitizing face shields, and a friend sent me a report that seems helpful and relevant. The US Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) and Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) responded to a White House task force inquiry about decontaminating or sterilizing products created with advanced manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing).

They consulted experts and wrote an extensive report about methods. Alcohol soak looked like a winner for porous PLA parts, in particular.

I haven't been able to find this document online, but the doc says it's for public use and I confirmed the same with my friend. Seems really useful; please share freely.
