STATUS: Open to the public for observation and comment, limited only by

people.

PURPOSE: Under a Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 1990 
with the Department of Energy (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 and other persons 
potentially exposed to radiation or to potential hazards from non-
nuclear energy production and use. HHS delegated program responsibility 
to CDC.
    CDC has begun an environmental dose reconstruction for DOE's Idaho 
National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) near Idaho Falls, Idaho. Sanford 
Cohen & Associates (SC&A) is gathering the data necessary to perform 
the dose reconstruction under contract to CDC. SC&A has formed a 
working group made up of Idaho citizens. The working group's primary 
purpose is to follow the project's progress and provide input in SC&A's 
planning process.
    The working group meetings are intended to promote direct public 
input into Phase I of the INEL Dose Reconstruction Project. Topics will 
focus particularly on technical and operational issues to help improve 
and expedite the process of identifying and retrieving documents 
relevant to a dose reconstruction for INEL.
    The public information meetings are to: (1) share information about 
SC&A's working group, (2) provide the public an opportunity to review 
actual records that have been entered into the database; and (3) gain 
input from the public on the project.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
