Criteria, required to meet these standards, for plant operation and design remained with the AEC. Hence, present responsibility for assessment of health effects resides in EPA, while the resvonsibility for developing technology to control emissions resides in AEC. The Office of Management and Budget (0M3) in a recent letter to EPA and AEC clarified the delegation of ressonsibility batween these agencies for promulgatin regulations to limit the radioactivity that may be emitted from facilities in the nuclear power industry. OMB stated: AEC should proceed with its plans for issuing uranium fvel cycle standards, taking into account the comments received from all sources, including EPA; that EPA should daiscontinue its prevarations for issuing, now or in the future, any standards for tyses of facilities; and that EPA should continue, under its current authority, to have responsidility for seitins standards for the total amount of rasiation in the caneral environment from ail facilities combined in the uraniucs fuel evele, i.e., an ambient standard which would have to reflect AEC's findings as to ene practicability of emission controls.3 r e with radiation s tandarcs and in some cases have regulatory authority.
