NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on
Radiation Standards
AGENCIES: Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will host a
meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards
(ISCORS) on June 21, 2001, in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of
ISCORS is to foster early resolution and coordination of regulatory
issues associated with radiation standards. Agencies represented on
ISCORS include the NRC, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S.
Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of
Transportation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of
the U.S. Department of Labor, and the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. The Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office
of Management and Budget, and a State Department representative may be
observers at meetings. The objectives of ISCORS are to: (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, www.iscors.org and the
final agenda for the June meeting will be posted on the site shortly
before the meeting.
DATES: The meeting will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, June
21, 2001.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the NRC auditorium, at Two White
