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:
