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 public; 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 public
on the status of CDC's and ATSDR's community involvement plans, health
research, and public health activities and present consensus advise 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 Savannah River Site and
present operations there, as well as updates on the Savannah River Site
Dose Reconstructions Project findings and implications. The
Subcommittee will also work on organizational issues relating to its
future activities.
