I can't get the entire document in here, so here is the recommendation that impacts DTRs.

Recommendation #4: Using a timeline defined by CDR, phase out the current DTR credential (see Appendix A, page 35). Currently-credentialed DTR practitioners will continue to be supported and recertified. DT education programs will continue to exist to meet the needs of the workforce in their local communities, and encourage transfer options with 4-year institutions. Currently-credentialed DTRs will be provided guidance to achieve a baccalaureate degree necessary to meet eligibility requirements for the new examination and credential for DPD graduates, if desired. A plan will be created for all existing Dietetics Technician (DT) education programs and DTRs to promote the positive impact of this transition for increasing workforce growth and opportunities.
