On May 29 and 30, 1985, a workshop was held to explore the legal,
ethical, social, scientific, and practical aspects of the use of
the de minimis risk concept for health and safety regulation. The
workshop was sponsored by the Society for Risk Analysis and its
National Capital Area Chapter, the Environmental Protection Agency,
the Nuclear Reg ulatory Commission, and the Electric Power Research
Institute. The two-day meeting was held in Washington, D. C., at
the Brookings Institution; however, the Brookings Institution was
not a sponsor of the meeting and did not playa role in its program.
De minimis risk policy considerations were addressed from a
theoretical and phil osophical viewpoint, from a quantitative and
methodological basis, and through insights gained with regulatory
applications. The distinctions between these three approaches to
the subject are not sharp; most papers in these proceedings address
aspects of all three topics. The reader familiar with the
literature on the use of risk assessment in regulatory policy and
decision making will find significant new contributions to the
field. One of these is the examination of regulatory actions-in
particular actions by the EPA-in response to risks of varying
magnitude. Many attempts to seek patterns in regulatory policies
have been based on analysis of the implicit economic value in
obtaining risk reductions. These analyses have typically found
great variability in the marginal cost 1 effectiveness of
regulatory actions."
