Purpose and Scope of Radiation
Site Cleanup Regulation
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
developing regulations that will set forth cleanup lev-
els for sites contaminated with radionuclides. These
regulations will protect human health and the envi-
ronment from exposure to ionizing radiation and will
be applicable to sites contaminated with radioactive
material subject to the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) and to
sites covered under the authority of Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (i.e., Superfund sites), including but not limited to
Federal facilities.
Public Participation and the
Development off the Cleanup
Regulation
EPA has begun to identify and evaluate alternative reg-
ulatory approaches for the proposed cleanup regula-
tions. The Agency recognizes that the selection of a
regulatory approach and the choice of cleanup levels
involve many difficult technical and policy decisions
with wide-ranging economic and environmental
implications.
In reaching these decisions, EPA encourages input
from all interested parties, and has developed a com-
prehensive program to facilitate public participation.
The Agency's Public Participation Program has two
objectives: (1) To disseminate information and (2) To
elicit comments and information from the public.
EPA believes that public participation is integral to
developing and implementing cleanup regulations.
Public Meetings
EPA has established a subcommittee under
the auspices of the National Advisor)
Council for Environmental Policy and
Technology (NACEPTj to provide extra-
mural environmental polity information
and advice to the Administrator of EPA
and other Agency officials. Membership of
this subcommittee will consist of individu-
als from a wide variety of government
agencies, industry, and public interest
groups, The first meeting witl take place
October 18 and 19,1993, beginning at
9:00 am, at the National Governors'
Association, Room 283/285,444 North
Capitol Street, Washington, DC, 20001.
You are encouraged to attend.
Meetings will be announced on the EPA
Radiation Site Cleanup Electronic Bulletin
Board and via the Superfund/RCRA

persons on the mailing list.

Electronic Bulletin Board
The electronic bulletin board provides the most
time-efficient and cost-effective means of servic-
ing your needs. It offers around-the-clock access
to documentation available on radiation site
cleanup regulations and EPA's open meetings
schedule.
How to access it
The electronic bulletin board can be accessed
by any computer connected to a modem.
Initiate your communications software to
allow you to dial into the bulletin board and
dial 1-800-700-STDS, if you are dialing from
outside the Washington metropolitan area, or

You will then have access to a menu of bulletin
board options. From the main menu, you can list
the documents stored on the bulletin, read those
documents, or download them to your system,
upload comments to EPA, or request published

lations.
How to download documents
If you know the documents you wish to down-
load, simply list the files, select those you wish to
receive, and hit the key. If you do not
know the documents you wish to receive, you

tion software and begin document transmission.
