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.

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 delegated program responsibility to

CDC.

Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to

continue the subcommittee’s work to update

the public on the status of ATSDR’s and

CDC’s community involvement plans, health

research, and public health activities and to

provide advice to ATSDR and CDC

concerning these plans.

Matters to be Discussed: The subcommittee

will consider a number of items including

ATSDR’s medical monitoring options,

ATSDR’s planning for a medical assistance

program, current ATSDR health assessment

activities and solicitation of concerns the

subcommittee wants ATSDR and CDC to

address, and issues relating to HHES

Operational Guidelines and future

subcommittee activities.

Agenda items are subject to change as

priorities dictate.

days prior to the meeting due to

administrative delays which constitute an

exceptional circumstance.
