    Name: Citizens Advisory Committee on Public Health Service

The meeting room accommodates approximately 75 people.
    Background: Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in
December 1990 with DOE and replaced by an MOU signed in 1996, 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 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, American Indian Tribal, and labor interaction
and serve as a vehicle for communities, American Indian Tribes, and
labor to express concerns and provide advice to CDC and ATSDR.
    Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda items include presentations from
NCEH and ATSDR on updates regarding the progress of current studies.
    All agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
    Contact Persons for Additional Information: Paul G. Renard,

    The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office has been
delegated the authority to sign Federal Register notices pertaining
to announcements of meetings and other committee management
activities, for both CDC and ATSDR.

    Dated: January 13, 2000.
