Background

The Risk Assessment and Management Commission held its first

meeting on May 16, 1994 (Federal Register 59 FR 22615 Vol. 59, No. 83,

May 2, 1994.) The Commission was established by Congress to make a full

investigation of the policy implications and appropriate uses of risk

assessment and risk management in regulatory programs under various

Federal laws to prevent cancer and other chronic human health effects

which may result from exposure to hazardous substances.

It is expected that the Commission members will continue their

inquiries and discussions on the five topical areas mandated by

Congress: review of the National Research Council's report Science and

Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994); exposure scenarios; uncertainty and

variability; risk management; and cross-agency consistency.

For information about the Commission, please call Joanna Foellmer

at 703-308-8087.

Dated: September 19, 1994.

Gail Charnley,

Executive Director, President's Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk

Management.
