    Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Environmental Dose 
    Reconstruction Project: Sanford Cohen and Associates' Technical Working 
    Group; Public Meeting
    
        The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for 
    Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), announces the following meeting:
    
        Name: Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Environmental Dose 
    Reconstruction Project: Sanford Cohen and Associates' Technical 
    Working Group--Public Meeting.
        Time and date: 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., September 14, 1994.
        Place: Best Western-Cottontree Inn, 1415 Bench Road, Pocatello, 
    Idaho 83201.
        Status: Open to the public for observation and comment, limited 
    only by space available.
        Purpose: Under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department 
    of Energy (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 and other persons potentially exposed 
    to radiation or to potential hazards from non-nuclear energy 
    production and use. HHS delegated program responsibility to CDC.
        An initial step in an analytic epidemiologic study for persons 
    living offsite of a given DOE facility is the reconstruction of 
    radiation doses due to releases from that facility. CDC has begun 
    such an environmental dose reconstruction for DOE's Idaho National 
    Engineering Laboratory near Idaho Falls, Idaho. A contractor, 
    Sanford Cohen and Associates (SC&A), is gathering the data necessary 
    to perform the dose reconstruction and to provide for logistics of 
    public involvement in this project. The purpose of this public 
    meeting is: SC&A will discuss project progress and responses to 
    public concerns. Members of the public will be asked to provide 
    individual input on technical issues and decisions faced by SC&A's 
    project team.
        Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.

    Acting Associate Director for Policy Coordination, Centers for Disease 
    Control and Prevention (CDC).
