This announcement seeks

For the purposes of Title VI, Part B, 

the term ‘‘Native Hawaiian’’ means an 

individual any of whose ancestors were 

natives of the area, which consists of the 

Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778. 

Nutritional services, and information 

and assistance services, are required by 

the Act. Nutrition services include 

congregate meals and home-delivered 

meals. Supportive services include 

information and assistance, 

transportation, chore services, and other 

supportive services, which contribute to 

the welfare of older Native Hawaiians. 

These services must be available for 

older Native Hawaiians living in the 

geographic boundaries of the Title VI, 

Part B, service area proposed by the 

applicant organization and approved by 

the Assistant Secretary for Aging. 

Organizations receiving funds to 

provide services to older Native 

Hawaiians shall assure that all activities 

will be conducted in coordination with 

the State Agency on Aging and with the 

activities carried out under Title III in 

the same geographical area. A detailed

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention 

Notice of Public Input Opportunity 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

SUMMARY: The National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) 

announces the following: 

Availability of opportunity for the 

Public to Provide Input on two 

proposed documents: 

‘‘Recommendations for Applying the 

International Labour Office (ILO) 

International Classification of 

Radiographs of Pneumoconioses in 

Medical Diagnosis, Research and 

Population Surveillance, Worker Health 

Monitoring, Government Program 

Eligibility, and Compensation Settings,’’

and 

‘‘Ethical Considerations for B 

Readers.’’

The National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), acting on behalf of the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS), is responsible for prescribing the 

manner in which radiographs are read 

and classified for the chest x-ray 

program available to coal miners under 

the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, 

30 U.S.C. 843; 42 CFR part 37. In 

carrying out this responsibility, NIOSH 

issues B Reader certifications to 

physicians who demonstrate proficiency 

in the classification of chest radiographs 

for the pneumoconioses using the 

International Labour Office (ILO) 

Classification System. NIOSH uses these 

B Readers in its Coal Workers Health 

Surveillance Program. B Readers are 

also employed in a variety of other 

clinical, research and compensation 

settings. NIOSH is using the issuance of 

the new International Labour Office 

(ILO) Classification of Radiographs as an 

opportunity to expand its Web site on 

the B Reader Program and use of the ILO 

system. NIOSH-certified B Readers use 

the internationally-recognized ILO 

system to classify chest radiographs for 

the presence and severity of pulmonary 

parenchymal and pleural changes 

potentially caused by exposure to dusts 

such as asbestos, silica, and coal mine 

dust. The revised program Web site 

provides more information about 

radiographic reading and the ILO 

system including recommendations or 

‘‘best practices’’ for use of the ILO 

system in different settings. 

We are specifically seeking public 

comment for the draft Document: 

‘‘Recommendations for Applying the 

International Labour Office (ILO) 

International Classification of 

Radiographs of Pneumoconioses in 

Medical Diagnosis, Research and 

Population Surveillance, Worker Health 

Monitoring, Government Program 

Eligibility, and Compensation Settings.’’

This document can be found at 

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ 

chestradiography/

recommendations.html. 

At this same time, NIOSH is also 

seeking comment on its proposed 

‘‘Ethical Considerations for B Readers’’

which can be found at this same Web 

site. In a recent decision in the In Re 

Silica Products Litigation, 2005 WL 

1593936 (S.D. Tex June 30, 2005), 

Federal District Court Judge Janis Jack 

raised questions regarding the ethical 

conduct of certain physicians, some of 

whom were B Readers, in reading x-rays 

in litigation. NIOSH is proposing 

‘‘Ethical Considerations for B Readers’’

which includes a code of ethics 

modeled after those of the American 

College of Radiology and the American 

Medical Association. We welcome 

comments on this proposed code of 

ethics. 

Please review and submit your 

comments on either or both of these 

documents to CWHSP@cdc.gov. If you 

would prefer to have a hard copy rather 

than electronic, please contact NIOSH at 

this same e-mail address, and we will be 

happy to fax or mail copies of the 

documents to you. 

The documents will remain available 

for comment until January 17, 2006. 

After that date, NIOSH will consider all 

the comments submitted and make 

appropriate revisions to the document
