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 has

delegated program responsibility to CDC.

In addition, a memo 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.

Activities shall focus on providing a forum

for community, American Indian Tribal, and

labor interaction, and serve as a vehicle for

communities, American Indian Tribes, and

labor to express concerns and provide advice

and recommendations to CDC and ATSDR.

Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda items

include: presentations from the Radiological

Assessments Corporation on the SRS Dose

Reconstruction, Phase II—An Overview of

the Project; the National Center for

Environmental Health (NCEH) regarding

current activities and the National Institute

for Occupational Safety and Health will

provide updates on the progress of current

studies; and working group updates from the

subcommittee.

Agenda items are subject to change as

priorities dictate.

Food and Drug Administration

Food Safety Risk Assessment

Clearinghouse; Open Meeting and

Technical Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) and the Joint

Institute for Food Safety and Applied

Nutrition (JIFSAN) are announcing a

meeting entitled ‘‘Food Safety Risk

Assessment: Users and Needs’’ and a

technical workshop entitled ‘‘Food

Safety Risk Assessment Clearinghouse:

Development of a Framework,’’ open to

the public, to discuss the formation of

a Food Safety Risk Assessment

Clearinghouse. The May 1997 Report to

the President on the National Food

Safety Initiative described the need to

establish a clearinghouse that would

collect and catalogue available data and

methodology pertinent to microbial riskassessment offered by the private sector,

trade associations, Federal and State

agencies, and international sources. The

goals of the clearinghouse would be to

consolidate research data and

methodology from public and

proprietary sources, assist in

coordinating research activities, identify

gaps in needed research, and assist in

the development of microbial risk

assessment models. The first meeting

will provide an overview of risk

assessment, introduce the concept of a

risk assessment clearinghouse, and

identify and solicit the needs of

potential users. The second meeting, in

workshop format, will focus on

constructing a draft framework

document that will define the scope,

objectives, mechanisms, and output of

the clearinghouse.

Date and Time: The meeting will be

held on August 7, 1998, 8:30 a.m. to 5

p.m. The technical workshop will be

held on October 5 and 6, 1998, 9 a.m.

to 5 p.m.
