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 

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 Advisory Board’s charter was 

issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at 

appropriate intervals, rechartered on 

March 22, 2020, and will terminate on 

March 22, 2022. 

Purpose: This 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, advising 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 Considered: The agenda 

will include discussions on the 

following: Work Group and 

Subcommittee Reports; Update on the 

Status of SEC Petitions; and plans for 

the December 2021 Advisory Board 

Meeting. Agenda items are subject to 

change as priorities dictate. 

The Director, Strategic Business 

Initiatives Unit, Office of 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.
