Proposed Project

1. Survey to Evaluate the 1989

Revisions of the U.S. Standard

Certificates of Live Birth and Death and

the U.S. Standard Report of Fetal

Death—New—OMB approved the

information collections for the

evaluation of the 1978 revisions of the

U.S. standard certificates and reports

under OMB No. 0937–0114. The

standard certificates are used by state

vital statistics offices as models in

developing their own birth, death, and

fetal death reporting forms. Data

obtained from these reporting forms in

each individual state are used to

compile national vital statistics. The

standard certificates are the principle

means of achieving uniformity of

information upon which national vital

statistics are based. To ensure that the

standard certificates meet the various

needs for which they are designed, it is

essential that they be evaluated and

revised periodically. This information

collection will be used to evaluate the

items on the 1989 revisions of the

standard certificates and to determine if

there is other information that should be

included on the standards that is

needed for relevant public health

research. Respondents will include

individuals and organizations who are

involved in the completion of vital

records or who utilize vital statistics

data and have an interest in the content

of the standard certificates. The

information collected will be used by a

group of consultants to determine what

changes may be needed in the 1989

standard certificates. The annual total

burden hours are 3,000.

In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(Pub. L. 92–463), the Agency for Toxic

Substances and Disease Registry

(ATSDR) and the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC) announce

the following meeting.

Name: Citizens Advisory Committee on

Public Health Service Activities and

Research at DOE Sites: Fernald Health Effects

Subcommittee.

Times and Dates: 1 p.m.–9 p.m., May 7,

1997; 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m., May 8, 1997.

accommodates approximately 50 people.

Background: Under a Memorandum of

Understanding (MOU) signed in December

1990 with DOE, 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 nonnuclear energy production use. HHS

delegated program responsibility to CDC.

In addition, an 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 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.

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. The

purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum

for community, 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: presentations from the National

Center for Environmental Health (NCEH)

regarding current activities; the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

and ATSDR will provide updates on the

progress of current studies.

Agenda items are subject to change as

priorities dictate.
