NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on 
Radiation Standards

AGENCIES: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and U.S. 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 17, 2004, in Rockville, Maryland. 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: 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. 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, www.iscors.org. The final agenda for the June 2004 
meeting will be posted on the web site shortly before the meeting.

DATES: The meeting will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 
17, 2004.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the NRC auditorium, at Two White 
Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
