Final answer:

The NCRP Recommended occupational dose limit for the skin, hands, and feet is 500 mSv.

Step-by-step explanation:

The NCRP Recommended occupational dose limit for the skin, hands, and feet is 500 mSv (50 rem, considering 1 Sv = 100 rem). This value is significantly higher than the whole body dose limit to account for the fact that these areas can tolerate more exposure compared to the more sensitive organs and tissues.
