in this case, mean exposure to persons: "outside the fence" of an AEC (or NEtT~-licensed) facility. Criteria, required to meet these standards, remained with the AEC. for plant oneration and design Hence, present responsibility for assessment of health effects resides in EPA, while the responsibility for devclosning technology to control emissions resides in AEC. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in a recent letter to EPA and AEC clarified the delegation of responsibility between these agencles for promulgating regulations to Limit the radioactivity that may be emitted from faciliti.s in the nuclesr rower industry. OMB stated: Hat Set cache as — AEC should proceed with its plans for issuing uranium fuel cycle standards, taking into account the comments received from all sources, including EPA; that EPA should dis- continue its preparations for issuing, now or in the future, any standards for types of facilities; dnd that EPA shculd continue, under its current authority, to have res- ponsibility for setting standards for the total amount ci -aciution in the ceneral environment from ail facilities combined in the uranium fuel cycle, i.e., an ambient standard which would have to reflect AEC's findings as to. the practicability of emission controls.3 There are other agencies and groups which are concerned with radiation standards and in some cases have regulatory vauthority. These include, but are not limited to, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Department of Labor, Bureau of Mines, the American National Standards Institute, and state agencies. ‘she radiation standards of these organizations are not at issue here. For the most part they play a secondary role, or where applicable, guidance of the NCRP, EPA and AEC. 3/ . follow the Memorandum for Administrator Train and Chairman Ray from Roy L. Ash, Dec.
