coli will be determined using a standard
pre-measured Hach test kit. In addition,
community water sources and water
samples within the distribution system
will be sampled (n=32). A total of 320
water samples will be completed.
Additional testing will include
measuring free chlorine in the
community water system if chlorine is
being used (n=16).
Lastly, an infrastructure evaluation for
each community will be done by CDC
personnel using a checklist. This
evaluation will help to determine the
strengths and weaknesses of the water
and sanitation systems for each
community.
The infrastructure survey and water
sampling activity is not included in the
burden table as CDC will complete this
survey and activity independent of
input or assistance from community
leaders or study participants.
There is no cost to respondents to
participate in the sustainability
evaluation other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are
240.

which have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a final rule; advice on
methods of dose reconstruction, which
have also been promulgated by HHS as
a final rule; advice on the scientific
validity and quality of dose estimation

Secretary, HHS, on the development of

13179; (b) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the scientific
validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary
on whether there is a class of employees
at any Department of Energy facility
who were exposed to radiation but for
whom it is not feasible to estimate their
radiation dose, and on whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such
radiation doses may have endangered
the health of members of this class.
Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda
for the conference call includes: NIOSH
