Improving the Utility of the Consent 

Order with Supplementary Information. 

The COC will work with the NNMCAB 

Risk Evaluation and Management 

Committee to review the risk-based 

approaches used to determine the 

prioritization of cleanup actions, as well 

as the ‘‘relative risk ranking’’ of the 

campaigns, targets, and milestones by 

the NNMCAB, to be recommended for 

use by the DOE EM Los Alamos Field
