regulatory issues associated with radiation standards.
    Agencies represented on ISCORS include the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, 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, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 
and any successor agencies. The Office of Science and Technology 
Policy, the Office of Management and Budget, and a State representative 
are observers at meetings.
    The objectives of ISCORS are to: (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 discussion 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. However, for the June 10 meeting, all 
interested members of the public are invited to attend.
