Background
The Risk Assessment and Management Commission held its first
meeting on May 16, 1994 (Federal Register 59 FR 22615 Vol. 59, No. 83,
May 2, 1994.) The Commission was established by Congress to make a full
investigation of the policy implications and appropriate uses of risk
assessment and risk management in regulatory programs under various
Federal laws to prevent cancer and other chronic human health effects
which may result from exposure to hazardous substances.
It is expected that the Commission members will continue their
inquiries and discussions on the five topical areas mandated by
Congress: review of the National Research Council's report Science and
Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994); exposure scenarios; uncertainty and
variability; risk management; and cross-agency consistency.
For information about the Commission, please call Joanna Foellmer
at 703-308-8087.
Dated: September 19, 1994.
Gail Charnley,
Executive Director, President's Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk
Management.
