Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on
Radiation Standards (ISCORS)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
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 Thursday, December 6, 2018 in Washington, DC. The purpose of ISCORS
is to foster early resolution and coordination of regulatory issues
associated with radiation standards. Member agencies include: EPA; the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and Departments of Energy; Defense;
Transportation; Homeland Security; Health and Human Services; and
Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Observer
agencies include: The Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office
of Management and Budget, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, as
well as state representatives from Pennsylvania and Washington. 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 Subcommittee Chairs 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.
This particular ISCORS meeting is open to all interested members of the
public. Time will be reserved on the agenda for members of the public
to ask questions and provide comments.
