HONOLULU, HAWAI! 96820 SEP’ 9 1977 Roger Ray, Assistant Manager Environment & Safety, NV ns mem ee PROPOSED PROCEDURE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH MEDICAL EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY TO ENEWETAK ATOLL This memorandum confirms our discussions and agreements at Enewetak during our most recent visit there. The FCDNA OPLAN 600-77, specifically, Annex D, Appendix 3, para 6.d.(2), requires employers of non-military personnel to verify that their employees are medically acceptable for assignment to Enewetak Atoll and that a record attesting to such fact accompany the employee to Enewetak. This requirement is not being observed by ERDA and ERDA related personnel. We propose to correct this defect by institution of the following procedures: i. Each ERDA employer organization will certify to you whatever caveats are appropriate to the situation) (with that the employee whom they have identified for assignment to Enewetak is fit for isolated duty at Enewetak and has met the medical requirements described in Annex D, Appendix 3, of FCDNA OPLAN 600-77. 2. In turn, your office will provide PASO with the medical certification at the time entry clearance is requested for the employee. 3. PASO, in turn, will provide the medical certification to the CJTG when entry clearance is requested. The entry clearance request prepared by PASO will include a statement that “appropriate documentation is on file with the medical facility designated by the employing agency to perform such medical evaluation of its employees". 4. HE&N will provide the same medical certification for their employees at the time they request entry clearance from the CJTG. To implement this procedure, a message similar to the following will be sent to each of the contractors and agencies assigning personnel to Enewetak: yOoUTOn, & % = % we % = 7776 -191© x _ Operant bebe
