References. Cover has some wear and soiling. A major focus of this hearing was on radiation exposure and hazards. Among the witnesses were: Roger Egeberg Joseph Hennessey Clarence Larson James Ramey representatives of the Federal Radiation Council and John Totter then Director of the Biomedical Division of the Atomic Energy Commission. Radiation protection also known as radiological protection is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and the means for achieving this". Exposure can be from a source of radiation external to the human body or due to internal irradiation caused by the ingestion of radioactive contamination. Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine and can present a significant health hazard by causing microscopic damage to living tissue. There are two main categories of ionizing radiation health effects. At high exposures it can cause "tissue" effects also called "deterministic" effects due the certainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit gray and resulting in acute radiation syndrome. For low level exposures there can be statistically elevated risks of radiation-induced cancer called "stochastic effects" due to the uncertainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit sievert. Fundamental to radiation protection is the avoidance or reduction of dose using the simple protective measures of time distance and shielding. The duration of exposure should be limited to that necessary the distance from the source of radiation should be maximized and the source shielded wherever possible. To measure personal dose uptake in occupational or emergency exposure for external radiation personal dosimeters are used and for internal dose to due to ingestion of radioactive contamination bioassay techniques are applied. For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Commission on Radiation Protection ICRP and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ICRU publish recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body of certain levels of radiation and thereby advise acceptable dose uptake limits.

Truck Safety Act of 1978: Hearing before the Committee on Commerce Science and Transportation United States Senate Ninety-fifth Congress second session on S. 2970; to promote commercial motor vehicle safety to prevent injury to commercial motor vehicle safety to prevent injury to commercial motor vehicle operators and for other purposes September 8 1978

197863057Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1978. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. iv 194 p.; 24 cm. Tables. Among the organizations providing witnesses were: American Farm Bureau Federation Professional Drivers Council National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Federal Highway Administration National Transportation Safety Board Private Truck Council of America American Trucking Associations Inc. Minor wear and soiling noted. Serial No. 95-132. This is a hearing on S.2970 the Truck Safety Act of 1978. This legislation was introduced by Senator Charles Percy and its purpose was to strengthen the power of the Federal Government in the truck safety area. Despite the scope of these truck safety problems S. 2970 goes beyond he issue of truck safety to apply to the safety of operation of all commercial motor vehicles over 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating. Thus this legislation would address the regulation of buses farm equipment and all other commercial vehicles above 10000 gross vehicle weight. In the course of these hearings the committee will be particularly interested in analyzing the adequacy of the Federal regulation of the commercial motor vehicles and what if anything is necessary in order to strengthen these programs. The committee is also concerned about how Federal programs interact with State regulation of commercial motor vehicles and whether this relationship is operating smoothly and effectively. As part of this overall examination the committee will seek to determine whether the funding and manpower allocated to these programs is adequate to carry out these important functions. The committee will also focus on how priorities are set in the regulation of commercial vehicles and what method of initiating investigations of improper behavior in this area would be most effective. n examining these issues the committee is fortunate to be receiving testimony today from an extremely wide spectrum of witnesses drawn from the Federal Government State agencies private trucking organizations farm representatives and private experts.

Transfer of Authorities For Implementation of Building Energy Performance Standards; Hearing before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Ninety-sixth Congress First Session s. 1604 November 20 1979

198091177Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1980. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 196 pages. Wraps. The Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs held a hearing on November 20 1979 regarding the transfer of authorities for implementing Building Energy Performance Standards BEPS. This hearing often linked to S. 1604 focused on shifting responsibility for implementing energy standards for new buildings mandated by the 1976 Energy Conservation and Production Act. The hearing addressed the transfer of authority for implementing mandatory energy performance standards for new commercial and residential buildings. The discussions related to implementing energy conservation measures to reduce petroleum and natural gas dependence often associated with the oversight of standards mandated by Congress in the mid-1970s. The debate followed the 1976 Act Pub.L. 94-385 which required energy standards for new buildings. This period was characterized by federal attempts to strengthen energy conservation in the built environment through mandated standards which were later further developed in the early 1980s. Among the witnesses were Donald Carter Richard Fleming William Hanna Jr. Clinton Phillips Richard Rowberg Maxine Savitz John Sawhill Herman Smith and Grant Thompson. The transfer of authorities for implementing Building Energy Performance Standards BEPS involves shifting regulatory oversight to specialized environmental agencies such as in Maryland where the Department of the Environment establishes standards or in Montgomery County where the Department of Environmental Protection DEP manages compliance to achieve net-zero goals. These actions often transition authority from local departments to specialized energy/environmental departments to ensure adherence to energy reduction goals such as mandatory retrofits by 2040 and phased reporting for owners. These transfers often occurring through state or local legislation are intended to provide the necessary legal technical and regulatory infrastructure to achieve local or federal climate goals such as those mandated by Executive Order 14057 for federal buildings.
