Background: Under a Memorandum of

Understanding (MOU) signed in December

1990 with DOE, and replaced by MOUs

signed in 1996 and 2000, 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 non-nuclear energy production use.

HHS delegated program responsibility to

CDC.

In addition, a memo was signed in October

1990 and renewed in November 1992, 1996,

and in 2000, 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 concerns

pertaining to CDC’s and ATSDR’s public

health activities and research at this DOE

site.

Matters to be Discussed: The conference

call agenda is to reach consensus on

membership issues. Agenda items are subject

to change as priorities dictate.

conference call is scheduled to begin at 10:30
