   Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency

Steering

             Committee on Radiation Standards



 AGENCIES: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and U.S.

 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 June 17,

2004, in Rockville, Maryland. 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: 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; and the U.S. 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:



  (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. One of

the four ISCORS meetings each year 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,

 The final agenda for the June 2004 meeting will be

posted on the web site shortly before the meeting.



 DATES: The meeting will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

on Thursday, June 17, 2004.
