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 State representatives 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, http://www.iscors.org and the final agenda for the July meeting 
will be posted on the site shortly before the meeting.
