concern. However, because virtually everyone in the United States uses electricity and therefore is routinely exposed to ELF-EMF, passive regulatory action is warranted such as a continued emphasis on educating both the public and the regulated community on means aimed at DG-4026, Page 96 reducing exposures. The NIEHS does not believe that other cancers or non-cancer health outcomes provide sufficient evidence of a risk to currently warrant concern. The applicant should determine if any new and significant information relating to the effects of ELF-EMF. 5.8.5 Occupational Health The applicant should describe human-health risks for operations personnel engaged in activities such as maintenance, testing, and plant modifications for the proposed project. The description should include the following: • The incidence of occupational health risks described in Chapter 2 of this RG. • Occupational health risks compared to the incidence rate for workers in similar occupations (e.g., electric power generation, transmission, and distribution). Include State and Federal labor references in the discussion. • Standards, practices, and procedures to reduce the potential for occupational injury and fatality risk. 5.8.6 Human Health Impacts from Transportation The applicant should provide estimates of the potential human-health impacts related to nonradiological traffic-related accidents from commuting operations and outage workers and transportation of supplies, equipment, and nonradiological waste to and from the proposed site. Nonradiological traffic-related impacts refer to the accidents, injuries, and fatalities estimated to occur from traffic accidents during movement of operations workers to and from the proposed site during operations. Where possible, the impacts should be estimated using information specific to the proposed site (e.g., by using county-specific accident statistics). The following information should be provided: • Summary of provisions for site access
