Background: A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in October 1990 and renewed in September 2000 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. In addition, under an MOU signed in December 1990 with DOE and replaced by an MOU signed in 2000, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) 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 nonnuclear energy production and use. DHHS has delegated program responsibility to CDC. Community involvement is a critical part of ATSDR’s and CDC’s energy-related research and activities, and input from members of the ORRHES is part of these efforts. Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to address issues that are unique to community involvement with the ORRHES, and agency updates. Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda items will include a brief discussion on the Beir VII report; a presentation on the draft public health assessment: Current and Future Chemical Exposure Evaluation (1990–2003); an update on ATSDR’s project management PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 51825 plan and the schedule of public health assessments to be released in FY2005–2006; updates and recommendations from the Exposure Evaluation, Community Concerns and Communications, and the Health Outcome Data Workgroups; and agency updates.
