Advisory Group (JPAG)

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Synopsis of April 18–19, 2000,

Meeting with VISA Participants.

On April 18–19, 2000, the Maritime

Administration (MARAD) and the

United States Transportation Command

(USTRANSCOM) co-hosted a meeting of

the VISA JPAG at USTRANSCOM, Scott

Air Force Base, Illinois.

Meeting attendance was by invitation

only, due to the nature of the

information discussed and the need for

a government-issued security clearance.

Of the 48 U.S.-flag carrier corporate

participants currently enrolled in VISA,

16 cleared VISA carrier representative

companies participated in the JPAG.

Representatives from the trucking and

railroad industries were also present to

explore their role in the movement of

Department of Defense (DOD) cargoes.

In addition, JPAG attendance included

representatives from the DOD, the

Military Traffic Management Command,

Military Sealift Command,

USTRANSCOM and MARAD.

Following opening remarks by Mr.

Daniel F. McMillin, Deputy Director,

Plans and Policy Directorate (TCJ5)

USTRANSCOM, Government

representatives provided participants

with an overview of expected outcomes.

The JPAG objectives included an

exploration of the intermodal capability

of VISA carriers to handle the loading

of unit equipment and development of

Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for

moving ammunition from origin to port

of debarkation. The VISA participants

convened in separate work groups with

Government analysts to discuss the

above issues. Afterwards, the groups

met together to discuss the results of

their analyses. At the conclusion of the

JPAG, VISA participants were briefed on

the results of Exercise Turbo Challenge

2000.

Emergency Medical Personnel System

(DEMPS)–VA’’ (98VA104).

DATES: Comments on the establishment

of this new system of records must be

Stephania Putt, Veterans Health

Administration Privacy Act Officer, at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DEMPS is

to be used by the Emergency

Management Strategic Healthcare Group

(EMSHG) primarily in times of national

emergencies caused by catastrophic

events. This system may be used to

respond to internal emergencies

occurring within the Veterans integrated

Service Networks (VISNs).

It is the Veterans Health

Administration’s (VHA) policy to use

DEMPS to respond to internal

emergencies occurring within the

VISNs. In order to provide sufficient

health care medical personnel to

respond to disasters, it is necessary to

develop a nationwide VHA system of

special-skilled personnel. These persons

would be available to serve for limited

periods of time in response to

Presidentially-declared and internal VA
