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, 

and will expire on August 3, 2013. 

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. The 

Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction 

Reviews was established to aid the 

Advisory Board in carrying out its duty 

to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose 

reconstruction. 

MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED: The agenda 

for the Subcommittee meeting includes: 

discussion of dose reconstruction cases 

under review (sets 7–10); DCAS dose 

reconstruction quality management and 

assurance activities; and dose 

reconstruction issues from NIOSH 10- 

year review. 

The agenda is subject to change as 

priorities dictate. 

In the event an individual cannot 

attend, written comments may be 

submitted. Any written comments 

received will be provided at the meeting 

and should be submitted to the contact 

person below well in advance of the 

meeting.
