goals.

session from 8-10 p.m. on March 5, 2003 and 8-9 a.m. on March 6, 
2003, to address matters related to the conduct of Study Section 
business. The remainder of the meeting will proceed in closed 
session. The purpose of the closed sessions is for the SOHSS to 
consider safety and occupational health-related grant applications. 
These portions of the meeting will be closed to the public in 
accordance with provisions set forth in section 552b(c)(4) and (6) 
title 5 U.S.C., and the determination of the Director, Management 
Analysis and Services Office, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, pursuant to Pub. L. 92-463.
