State Reviews

This program is subject to the

requirements of EO 12372. Executive

Order 12372 allows States the option of

setting up a system for reviewing

applications from within their States for

assistance under certain Federal

programs. The application kit to be

made available under this notice will

contain a listing of States which have

chosen to set up a review system and

will include a State Single Point of

Contact (SPOC) in the State for review.

Applications (other than federally

recognized Indian tribes) should contact

their SPOCs as early as possible to alert

them to the prospective applications

and receive any necessary instructions

on the State process. For proposed

projects serving more than one State, the

applicant is advised to contact the SPOC

of each affected State. The due date for

State process recommendations is 60

days after the application deadline by

the Office of Minority Health’s Grants

Management Officer. The Office of

Minority Health does not guarantee that

it will accommodate or explain its

responses to State process

recommendations received after that

date. (See ‘‘Intergovernmental Review of

Federal Programs,’’ Executive Order

12372, and 45 CFR Part 100 for a

description of the review process and

requirements.)

Background

A Memorandum of Understanding

(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 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.

In addition, under an 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 and use.

HHS has delegated program

responsibility to CDC.

Purpose

This subcommittee is charged with

providing advice and recommendations

to the Director, CDC, and the

Administrator, ATSDR, regarding

community, American Indian tribes,

and labor concerns pertaining to CDC’s

and ATSDR’s public health activities

and research at this DOE site. Activities

shall focus on providing a forum for

community, American Indian Tribal,

and labor interaction and serve as a

vehicle for community concern to be

expressed as advice and

recommendations to CDC and ATSDR.

Matters To Be Discussed

Agenda items include: ATSDR’s

proposed medical monitoring program,

ATSDR’s planning for an exposure

subregistry program, and solicitations of

subcommittee concerns to be addressed

by ATSDR and CDC. There will also be

updates from the Inter-tribal Council on

Hanford Health Projects, and reports

from the following Work Groups:

Outreach/Special Populations, Public

Health Activities, and Health Studies.

This notice is being published less

than 15 days prior to the meeting due

to an administrative delay.

Agenda items are subject to change as

priorities dictate.
