U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 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.
