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. The Subcommittee on Procedures 

Reviews was established to aid the Advisory 

Board in carrying out its duty to advise the 

Secretary, HHS, on dose reconstruction. It is 

responsible for overseeing, tracking, and 

participating in the reviews of all procedures 

used in the dose reconstruction process by 

the NIOSH Office of Compensation Analysis 

and Support (OCAS) and its dose 

reconstruction contractor. 

Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for 

the Subcommittee meeting includes: 

preparation of status report to the Secretary 

on procedures review; discussion of the 

following ORAU & OCAS procedures: OTIB– 

013 (‘‘Special External Dose Reconstruction 

Considerations for Mallinckrodt Workers’’), 

OTIB–014 (‘‘Rocky Flats Internal Dosimetry 

Co-Worker Extension’’), OTIB–0029 

(‘‘Internal Dosimetry Coworker Data for Y– 

12’’), OTIB–0049 (‘‘Estimating Doses for 

Plutonium Strongly Retained in the Lung’’), 

OTIB–0051 (‘‘Effect of Threshold Energy and 

Angular Response of NTA Film on Missed 

Neutron Dose at the Oak Ridge Y–12 

Facility’’), OTIB–0054 (‘‘Fission and 

Activation Product Assignment for Internal 

Dose-Related Gross Beta and Gross Gamma 

Analyses’’), and OTIB–0070 (‘‘External 

Coworker Dosimetry Data for the Sandia 

National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New 

Mexico’’); and a continuation of the 

comment-resolution process for other dose 

reconstruction procedures under review by 

the Subcommittee. 

The agenda is subject to change as 

priorities dictate. 

This meeting is open to the public, but 

without a public comment period. In the 

event an individual wishes to provide 

comments, written comments may be 

submitted. Any written comments received 

will be provided at the meeting and should 

be submitted to the contact person below in

(EEOICP) 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 which 

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 the 

CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility 

for CDC. The charter was issued on August 

3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,

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. 

Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for 

the Advisory Board meeting includes: NIOSH 

Program Status Update; Department of Labor 

(DOL) Update; Department of Energy (DOE)

Facility; Special Exposure Cohort (SEC)

review such revelations in accordance with 

the Freedom of Information Act and the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act and if 

deemed appropriate, will redact such 

information. (4) All disclosures of 

information concerning third parties will be 

redacted. (5) If it comes to the attention of the 

DFO that an individual wishes to share
