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 September, 27, 2005, 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, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Representatives from
the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Defense Nuclear Facilities
Safety Board, Office of Management and Budget, State Department,
Illinois Bureau of Radiation Safety, and Pennsylvania Bureau of
Radiation Protection 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. ISCORS has adopted the practice of
opening one of its meetings each year to all interested members of the
public. There will be time on the agenda for members of the public to
provide comments. The final agenda for the September meeting will be
posted on the ISCORS Web site, http://www.iscors.org, shortly before
the meeting. Participants are encouraged to (1) notify the contact
below for pre-registration and (2) allow sufficient time for security
screening prior to accessing the meeting.
DATES: The meeting will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday,
September 27, 2005.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the NRC auditorium, at Two White
