ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL -9218-2]
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 November 9, 2010, 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. This is the one ISCORS
meeting out of four held each year that 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 November 9th meeting will be posted on the Web site
shortly before the meeting.
DATES: The meeting will be held on November 9, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m.
ADDRESSES: The ISCORS meeting will be held in Room 152 at the EPA
building located at 1310 L Street, NW., in Washington, DC. Attendees
are required to present a photo ID such as a government agency photo
identification badge or valid driver's license. Visitors and their
belongings will be screened by EPA security guards. Visitors must sign
