-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Name: Public Meeting to Present Final Report of the Savannah River 
Site Dose Reconstruction Project.
    Time and Date: 6 p.m.-8 p.m., (Eastern Time), Tuesday, September 
19, 2006.
    Place: University of South Carolina/Aiken, Conference Center/
Business and Education Building, Room 122, 471 University Parkway, 
Parking Lot ``C'', Aiken, South Carolina 29801.
    Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available. 
The meeting room accommodates approximately 50 people.
    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: CDC will present the Final Report of the Savannah River 
Site Dose Reconstruction Project to area stakeholders and provide a 
forum for community interaction. This meeting will also serve as a 
vehicle for members of the public to express concerns to CDC.
    Matters To Be Discussed: The National Center for Environmental 
Health (NCEH) will make a presentation of the Final Report of the 
Savannah River Site Dose Reconstruction Project. There will be time for 
public questions and comments. Agenda items are subject to change as 
priorities dictate.
