Notice of Public Meeting of the Interagency Steering Committee on
Radiation Standards (ISCORS)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a meeting
of the Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards (ISCORS)
on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, in Washington, DC.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The ISCORS meeting will be held in Room 1153 at the USEPA
William Jefferson Clinton East Building (WJC East), 1201 Constitution
Avenue NW, Washington, DC. Attendees are required to present a photo ID
such as a government agency photo identification badge or valid

issued driver's licenses as IDs at restricted Federal facilities.
Driver's licenses from states and territories that do not comply with
the REAL ID Act will not be accepted as identification. More details on
these ID requirements can be found at https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/visiting-epa-headquarters and clicking on the Building Access tab.
Visitors and their belongings will be screened by EPA security guards.
Visitors must sign the visitors log at the security desk and will be
issued a visitor's badge by the security guards to gain access to the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marisa D. Thornton, Radiation
Protection Division, Office of Radiation and Indoor Air, Mail Code
6608T, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20460; email: [email protected], phone: 202-
343-9237.

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.
    Visit the ISCORS website, www.epa.gov/iscors for more detailed
information.

    Please note:  The final meeting agenda will be posted on the
website shortly before the meeting.

1 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON D. C., 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES MEMORANDUM DATE: June 8, 2006 SUBJECT: Formetanate Hydrochloride, Addendum to the HED Revised Risk Assessment for Formetanate Hydrochloride dated December 23, 2005 A revised human health risk assessment for formetanate hydrochloride ( HCl) was issued in December 2005 that included a dietary exposure assessment which incorporated supported food uses and drinking water. Acute anticipated residues for all foods were derived using field trial data. Based on various concerns posed by stakeholders during the comment period about the limited nature of the field trial data, EPA revised its dietary exposure assessment to incorporate a more robust residue data set that included data from the United States Department of Agriculture's Pesticide Data Program ( PDP)

As a result, a partially refined acute probabilistic dietary exposure assessment was conducted for all supported formetanate HCl food uses and for drinking water. Acute anticipated residues for all foods were derived using either field trial data reflecting current maximum label rates and minimum Pre Harvest Intervals ( PHI) or PDP monitoring data.

Field trial data were used to analyze stone fruits, lemons, limes, tangelos and juice ( orange and grapefruit). PDP data were used to analyze apples, pears, oranges, and grapefruit. Field trial data were used for orange and grapefruit juice since PDP data reflect residues on peeled fruit and juice is extracted from whole ( unpeeled) fruit.

Estimated residues in drinking water were incorporated directly into the acute assessment. The assessment was conducted using the full distribution of estimated residues in surface water generated by the PRZM EXAMS model for the North Carolina apple crop scenario, the crop scenario resulting in the highest estimated peak surface water concentration ( 7.68 ppb). This eastern crop scenario is expected to provide conservative ( protective) residue values.

The resulting acute dietary exposure and risk estimates for food and water exceed EPA's level of concern for the population subgroups, Infants and Children 1 2 years old. Acute dietary ( food + water) exposure at the 99.9th percentile was estimated at 162% of the Acute Population Adjusted Dose ( aPAD) for the most highly exposed population 2 subgroup ( infants). Most of the estimated acute exposure from food was determined to result from the late season uses of formetanate HCl on apples.

Formetanate HCl Acute Dietary Analysis ( With Late Season Use on Apples) Population Exposure at 99.9th Percentile ( mg/ kg) % aPAD General U. S. Population 0.000308 47 All Infants (< 1 year old) 0.001055 162 Children 1 2 years old 0.000771 119 Children 3 5 years old 0.000607 93 Children 6 12 years old 0.000329 51 Youth 13 19 years old 0.000183 28 Adults 20 49 years old 0.000213 33 Females 13 49 years old 0.000217 33 Adults 50+ years old 0.000216 33 Removing the late season use for apples resulted in a dietary risk of 56% ( for food only) and 117% ( food plus water) of the aPAD for infants, the most highly exposed subgroup. All other populations have risks below EPA's level of concern ( 69% or less of the aPAD occupied after late season apples are removed).
