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.
    Please Note: The final meeting agenda will be posted on the website
