Engineering Laboratory Health Effects Subcommittee and Idaho National 
Engineering Laboratory Worker Epidemiologic Study: Meetings

    In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the Agency for Toxic Substances and 
Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Centers for Disease 

[[Page 58630]]
Control and Prevention (CDC) announce the following meeting.

    Name: Citzens Advisory Committee on Public Health Service 
Activities and Research at DOE Sites: Idaho National Engineering 
Laboratory Health Effects Subcommittee (INEL).
    Times and Dates: 9 a.m.-4 p.m., December 12, 1995; 9 a.m.-12 
noon, December 13, 1995.
    Place: Holiday Inn Westbank, 475 River Parkway, Idaho Falls, 
Idaho 83401, telephone [phone], FAX [phone].
    Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available. 
The meeting room accommodates approximately 75 people.
    Background: Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in 
December 1990 with DOE, the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS) has been given the responsibility and resources for conducting 
analytic epidemiologic investigations of residents of communities in 
the vicinity of DOE facilities, workers at DOE facilities, and other 
persons potentially exposed to radiation or to potential hazards 
from non-nuclear energy production use. HHS delegated program 
responsibility to CDC.
    In addition, an MOU was signed in October 1990 and renewed in 
November 1992 between ATSDR and DOE. The MOU delineates the 
responsibilities and procedures for ATSDR's public health activities 
at DOE sites required under sections 104, 105, 107, and 120 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act (CERCLA or ``Superfund''). These activities include health 
consultations and public health assessments at DOE sites listed on, 
or proposed for, the Superfund National Priorities List and at sites 
that are the subject of petitions from the pubic; and other health-
related activities such as epidemiologic studies, health 
surveillance, exposure and disease registries, health education, 
substance-specific applied research, emergency response, and 
preparation of toxicological profiles.
    Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to begin work to update 
the pubic on the status of CDC's and ATSDR's community involvement 
plans, health research, and public health activities and present 
consensus advice and recommendations to CDC and ATSDR regarding 
these plans.
    Matters to be Discussed: The Subcommittee will take into 
consideration information provided by technical experts on the 
history of the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and present 
operations there, as well as updates on the Idaho National 
Engineering Laboratory Dose Reconstruction findings and 
implications. The Subcommittee will also work on organizational 
issues relating to its future activities.

    Name: Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Worker Epidemiologic 
Study.
    Time and Date: 7 p.m.-9 p.m., December 13, 1995.
    Place: Holiday Inn Westbank, 475 River Parkway, Idaho Falls, 
Idaho 83401, telephone [phone], FAX [phone].

The meeting room accommodates approximately 75 people.
    Purpose: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and 
Health will hold its annual public meeting for the Idaho National 
Engineering Laboratory Worker Epidemiologic Study. The purpose of 
this meeting is to inform the public on the progress of this study.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
