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 
Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
