(ATSDR) announces the following
meeting.
Name: Public Meeting of the Study
Team for the Los Alamos Historical
Document Retrieval and Assessment
Project.
Time and Date: 5 p.m.–7 p.m.,
(mountain time), June 23, 2005.
Place: Cities of Gold Hotel in
Pojoaque (15 miles north of Santa Fe on

telephone: 505–455–0515.
Status: Open to the public, limited

people.
Background: Under a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) signed in
December 1990 with the Department of
Energy (DOE) and replaced by MOUs
signed in 1996 and 2000, the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) was 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, a memo was signed
in October 1990 and renewed in
November 1992, 1996, and in 2000,
between the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(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 healthrelated 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: This study group is charged
with locating, evaluating, cataloguing,
and copying documents that contain
information about historical chemical or
radionuclide releases from facilities at
the Los Alamos National Laboratory
since its inception. The purpose of this
meeting is to review the goals, methods,
and schedule of the project, discuss
progress to date, provide a forum for
community interaction, and serve as a
vehicle for members of the public to
express concerns and provide advice to
CDC.
Matters to be Discussed: Agenda items
include a presentation from the National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH) and its contractor regarding the
status of project work. There will be
time for public input, questions, and
comments.
Agenda items are subject to change as
priorities dictate.
