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, 

and rechartered under Executive Order 

14109 (September 29, 2023) on March 

22, 2024. Unless continued by the

Secretary, HHS, on the development of

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 

ABRWH Subcommittee on Procedure 

Reviews (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
