[FRL-9800-7]
Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on
Radiation Standards
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 May 1, 2013 in Washington, DC. The purpose of ISCORS is to foster
early resolution and coordination of regulatory issues associated with
radiation standards. Member agencies include the 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. Observer agencies
include the Office of Science and Technology Policy; Office of
Management and Budget; and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board,
as well as representatives from the States of Arizona and Pennsylvania.
ISCORS objectives are: (1) To facilitate a consensus on allowable
levels of radiation risk to the public and workers; (2) to 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) to promote completeness
and coherence of federal standards for radiation protection; and (4) to
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. This is the one ISCORS meeting out of
four held each year that 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 May
1st meeting will be posted on the Web site shortly before the meeting.
DATES: The meeting will be held on May 1, 2013, from 1:00 pm to 4:00
pm.

building located at 1310 L Street NW., in Washington, DC. Attendees are
