SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background: The Advisory Board was 

established under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000 to advise the 

President on a variety of policy and 

technical functions required to 

implement and effectively manage the 

new compensation program. Key 

functions of the Advisory Board include 

providing advice on the development of 

probability of causation guidelines that 

have been promulgated by the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) as a final rule; advice on 

methods of dose reconstruction, which 

have also been promulgated by HHS as 

a final rule; advice on the scientific 

validity and quality of dose estimation 

and reconstruction efforts being 

performed for purposes of the 

compensation program; and advice on 

petitions to add classes of workers to the 

Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). 

In December 2000, the President 

delegated responsibility for funding, 

staffing, and operating the Advisory 

Board to HHS, which subsequently 

delegated this authority to CDC. NIOSH 

implements this responsibility for CDC. 

The charter was issued on August 3, 

2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, 

rechartered on February 12, 2018, 

pursuant to Executive Order 13708, and 

will terminate on March 22, 2020. 

Purpose: The Advisory Board is 

charged with (a) providing advice to the 

Secretary, HHS, on the development of 

guidelines under Executive Order 

13179; (b) providing advice to the 

Secretary, HHS, on the scientific 

validity and quality of dose 

reconstruction efforts performed for this 

program; and (c) upon request by the 

Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on 

whether there is a class of employees at 

any Department of Energy facility who 

were exposed to radiation but for whom 

it is not feasible to estimate their 

radiation dose, and on whether there is 

reasonable likelihood that such 

radiation doses may have endangered 

the health of members of this class. SPR 

is responsible for overseeing, tracking, 

and participating in the reviews of all 

procedures used in the dose 

reconstruction process by the NIOSH 

Division of Compensation Analysis and 

Support (DCAS) and its dose 

reconstruction contractor (Oak Ridge 

Associated Universities—ORAU). 

Matters to be Considered: The agenda 

will include discussions on the 

following dose reconstruction 

procedures: (a) Procedures associated 

specifically with the following sites: 

Aliquippa Forge, Hooker 

Electrochemical Co., Birdsboro Steel, 

Simonds Saw, Idaho National 

Laboratory, General Steel Industries; (b) 

general procedures for dose 

reconstructions: Internal Coworker 

Dosimetry Data Completeness Test, 

Parameters when Processing Claims for 

Construction Trade Workers. Agenda 

items are subject to change as priorities 

dictate. 

The Chief Operating Officer, Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention, has 

been delegated the authority to sign 

Federal Register notices pertaining to 

announcements of meetings and other 

committee management activities, for 

both the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention and the Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry.
