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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Public Meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a meeting 
of the Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards (ISCORS) 
on November 14, 2011, in Washington, DC. 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: EPA; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; 
Department of Energy; Department of Defense; Department of 
Transportation; Department of Homeland Security; Department of Labor's 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration; and the 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: Facilitate a consensus on 
allowable levels of radiation risk to the public and workers; promote 
consistent and scientifically sound risk assessment and risk management 
approaches in setting and implementing standards for occupational and 
public protection from ionizing radiation; promote completeness and 
coherence of Federal standards for radiation protection; and 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
