SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of ISCORS is to foster early 
resolution and coordination of regulatory issues associated with 
radiation standards. Member agencies include: EPA; the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission; and Departments of Defense; Energy, Health and 
Human Services; Homeland Security; Transportation; and Labor's 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Observer agencies 
include: the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office of 
Management and Budget, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, as well 
as state representatives from Connecticut and Washington.
    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 Subcommittee Chairs 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. This particular ISCORS 
meeting is open to all interested members of the public. Time will be 
reserved on the agenda for members of the public to ask questions and 
provide comments.
    Pay parking is available for visitors at multiple garages around 
the Ronald Reagan building and Federal Triangle complex. Visitors can 
also ride the Metro to the Federal Triangle station (Blue, Orange or 
Silver Line). After exiting the turnstiles, go up both escalators to 
street level. Turn around and walk towards 12th Street NW turn right on 
12th Street and continue walking until you get to Constitution Avenue. 
Then turn right onto Constitution Avenue and 1201 William Jefferson 
Clinton EAST is the first building on your right.
