Science Advisory Board; Radiation Advisory Committee; 
Radionuclide Cleanup Standards Subcommittee; Notification of Public 
Advisory Committee Meeting; Open Meeting

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
notice is hereby given that the Radionuclide Cleanup Standards 
Subcommittee (RCSS) of the Science Advisory Board's (SAB's) Radiation 
Advisory Committee (RAC), will continue its review of the technical 
basis of the Agency's Cleanup Standards for Radionuclides. The meeting 
will be conducted on Wednesday, January 25 and Thursday, January 26, 
1995 at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, 2899 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Arlington, VA 22202 (tel. [phone]). On Wednesday, January 25, 1995 
the RAC will meet at 9:00 am eastern time and adjourn no later than 
6:00 pm. On Thursday, January 26, 1995 the RCSS will meet starting at 
8:30 am and will adjourn no later than 4:00 pm. The RCSS formally began 
this review at its first public meeting on the topic on October 27 and 
28, 1994 (See Federal Register Vol. 59, No. 191, Tuesday, October 4, 
1994, pages 50600-50601). This meeting is open to the public, but 
seating is limited and available on a first-come basis.
    The meeting will essentially be a work session by the Subcommittee, 
as they prepare their draft report on the topic. The draft documents 
that are the subject of this review are available from the originating 
EPA office and are not available from the SAB Office. These draft 
documents are: (1) ``Radiation Site Cleanup Regulations: Technical 
Support Document for the Development of Radionuclide Cleanup Levels for 
Soil,'' Review Draft, September, 1994. and (2) ``Radiation Site Cleanup 
regulations: Technical Support Document for the Development of 
Radionuclide Cleanup Levels for Soil,'' Appendices, September, 1994.
    To discuss technical aspects of the draft documents, please contact 
Dr. Anthony B. Wolbarst, Chief, Remedial Guidance Section, Office of 
Radiation and Indoor Air (ORIA) (Mail Code 6603J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460. To 
simply obtain copies of the draft documents, please contact Ms. 
Virginia Stradford, Secretary, at [phone], FAX [phone]. 
The background documents that support this review, as well as the draft 
documents listed above are available in the Agency's U.S. EPA Air and 
Radiation Docket. Please address written inquiries as follows: Attn: 
Air and Radiation Docket, Mail Stop 6102, Air Docket No. A-93-27, Room 
M1500, First Floor, Waterside Mall, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20460. The docket may be inspected from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., 
Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, in Room M1500. A 
reasonable fee may be charged for copies of docket materials. Inquiries 
regarding access to the public information docket should be directed to 
Ms. Lynn Johnson, ORIA Staff (Mail Code 6603J) at [phone].
    The charge to the SAB is as follows:
    (1) Is the methodology used by the Office of Radiation and Indoor 
Air (ORIA) for evaluating source terms for [[Page 2387]] radioactively 
contaminated sites, for modeling transport to people, and for 
estimating risk to individuals and populations acceptable for providing 
a technical basis for writing a cleanup standard?
    (2a) Are the assumptions for the combined residential/agricultural 
land use scenario, and the pathways model, reasonable and suitable for 
assessing risk at radioactively contaminated sites?
    (2b) Are the assumptions for the combined industrial/commercial 
land use scenario, and the pathways model, reasonable and suitable for 
assessing risk at radioactively contaminated sites?
    (3) Is RESRAD version 5.01 (specific reference to RESRAD may be 
omitted) suitable for modeling radiation risk to individuals at 
radioactively contaminated sites?
    To Obtain More Information on or Participate in this SAB Meeting:
    Members of the public who wish to make a brief oral presentation at 
this meeting should contact Dr. Kooyoomjian no later than January 18, 
1995 in order to have time reserved on the agenda. Please contact Dr. 
K. Jack Kooyoomjian, the Designated Federal Official, Science Advisory 
Board (Mail Code 1400F), US EPA, 401 M Street, SW, Washington DC 20460,

Providing Oral or Written Comments at SAB Meetings

    The Science Advisory Board expects that public statements presented 
at its meetings will not be repetitive of previously submitted oral or 
written statements. In general, opportunities for oral comment at 
meetings will be usually limited to five minutes per speaker and no 
more than thirty minutes total. Written comments (at least 35 copies) 
received in the SAB Staff Office sufficiently prior to a meeting date 
(usually one week prior to a meeting), may be mailed to the 
subcommittee prior to its meeting; comments received too close to the 
meeting date will normally be provided to the subcommittee at its 
meeting. Written comments may be provided up until the time of the 
meeting.

    Dated: December 20, 1994.
A. Robert Flaak,
Acting Staff Director, Science Advisory Board.
