Sec. 2664. Model construction standards and techniques
The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall
develop model construction standards and techniques for controlling
radon levels within new buildings. To the maximum extent possible, these
standards and techniques should be developed with the assistance of
organizations involved in establishing national building construction
standards and techniques. The Administrator shall make a draft of the
document containing the model standards and techniques available for
public review and comment. The model standards and techniques shall
provide for geographic differences in construction types and materials,
geology, weather, and other variables that may affect radon levels in
new buildings. The Administrator shall make final model standards and
techniques available to the public by June 1, 1990. The Administrator
shall work to ensure that organizations responsible for developing
national model building codes, and authorities which regulate building
construction within States or political subdivisions within States,
adopt the Agency's model standards and techniques.
