ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-8716-6]
Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on
Radiation Standards
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a meeting
of the Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards (ISCORS)
on October 1, 2008, in Washington, DC. The purpose of ISCORS is to
foster early resolution and coordination of regulatory issues
associated with radiation standards. Agencies represented as members of
ISCORS include the following: EPA; Nuclear Regulatory Commission;
Department of Energy; Department of Defense; Department of
Transportation; Department of Homeland Security; Department of Labor's
Occupational Safety and Health Administration; and the Department of
Health and Human Services. ISCORS meeting observer agencies include the
Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office of Management and
Budget, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, as well as
representatives from both the States of Illinois and Pennsylvania.
ISCORS maintains several objectives: Facilitate a consensus on
allowable levels of radiation risk to the public and workers; promote
consistent and scientifically sound risk assessment and risk management
approaches in setting and implementing standards for occupational and
public protection from ionizing radiation; promote completeness and
coherence of Federal standards for radiation protection; and identify
interagency radiation protection issues and coordinate their
resolution. ISCORS meetings include presentations by the chairs of the
subcommittees and discussions of current radiation protection issues.
Committee meetings normally involve pre-decisional intra-governmental
discussions and, as such, are normally not open for observation by
members of the public or media. One of the four ISCORS meetings each
year is open to all interested members of the public. There will be
time on the agenda for members of the public to provide comments.
Summaries of previous ISCORS meetings are available at the ISCORS Web
site, http://www.iscors.org. The final agenda for the October 2008
meeting will be posted on the Web site shortly before the meeting.
DATES: The meeting will be held on October 1, 2008, from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m.
ADDRESSES: The ISCORS meeting will be held in Room 1153 of the EPA East
building at 1201 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460.
