ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-8966-2]
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 15, 2009, 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: (1) Facilitate a consensus on
allowable levels of radiation risk to the public and workers; (2)
promote consistent and scientifically sound risk assessment and risk
management approaches in setting and implementing standards for
occupational and public protection from ionizing radiation; (3) promote
completeness and coherence of Federal standards for radiation
protection; and (4) 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 2009 meeting will be posted on the Web site shortly before the
meeting.
