The purpose of RESEP is to assist individuals who live (or lived) in areas where U.S. nuclear weapons testing occurred and who are diagnosed with cancer and other radiogenic diseases caused by exposure to nuclear fallout or nuclear materials such as uranium. RESEP funds support eligible health care organizations in implementing cancer screening programs; developing education programs; disseminating information on radiogenic diseases and the importance of early detection; screening eligible individuals for cancer and other radiogenic diseases; providing appropriate referrals for medical treatment; and facilitating documentation of Radiation Exposure Compensation Act
(RECA)claims. *Need and Proposed Use of the Information:* For this program, performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the program and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act
(GPRA)of 1993 (Pub. L. 103-62). These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including:
(a)Demographics for RESEP medical user patient population;
(b)medical screening activities for cancers and other radiogenic diseases;
(c)exposure and presentation types for eligible radiogenic malignant and non-malignant diseases;
(d)referrals for appropriate medical treatment;
(e)eligibility counseling and referral assistance for the RECA and Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act programs; and
(f)program outreach and education activities. These measures will speak to the Office's progress toward meeting the goals set.
