| 2013-08666 | Updates to Protective Action Guides Manual: Protective Action Guides (PAGs) and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents | Notice | As part of its mission to protect human health and the environment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes protective action guides to help federal, state, local and tribal emergency response officials make radiation protection decisions during emergencies. EPA, in coordination with a multi-agency working group within the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC), is proposing updates to the 1992 Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, referred to as "The 1992 PAG Manual" (EPA 400-R-92-001, May 1992). The updated guidance in this revised 2013 PAG Manual--Protective Action Guides and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents ("2013 PAG Manual" hereafter) applies the PAGs to incidents other than just nuclear power plant accidents, updates the radiation dosimetry and dose calculations based on current science and incorporates late phase guidance. While there is no drinking water PAG provided in the proposal, the Agency continues to seek input on this. The newly proposed 2013 PAG Manual is available for interim use and review at www.regulations.gov. | 2013-04-15 | 2013 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/04/15/2013-08666/updates-to-protective-action-guides-manual-protective-action-guides-pags-and-planning-guidance-for | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-04-15/pdf/2013-08666.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | As part of its mission to protect human health and the environment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes protective action guides to help federal, state, local and tribal emergency response officials make radiation protection decisions... |
