The EPA, USNRC, and USDOE are currently developing guidelines for 
radiological contamination at federal sites.  The proposed CFR listing 
is 40 CFR 196.  The current information that I have is that the dose 
limit is to be 15 millirem (0.15 milliSv) from all pathways.  However, 
I am not too sure if the numbers have been finalized prior to the 
request for comment listing.  It is my understanding that the numbers 
are being developed using Resrad 5.19 and the scenario varies with 
circumstances.
