Background Information on the NTP 

Board of Scientific Counselors 

The NTP BSC is a technical advisory 

body comprised of scientists from the 

public and private sectors who provide 

primary scientific oversight to the 

overall program and its centers. 

Specifically, the BSC advises the NTP 

on matters of scientific program content, 

both present and future, and conducts 

periodic review of the program for the 

purposes of determining and advising 

on the scientific merit of its activities 

and their overall scientific quality. The 

TRR Subcommittee is a standing 

subcommittee of the BSC. BSC members 

are selected from recognized authorities 

knowledgeable in fields such as 

toxicology, pharmacology, pathology, 

biochemistry, epidemiology, risk 

assessment, carcinogenesis, 

mutagenesis, molecular biology, 

behavioral toxicology and 

neurotoxicology, immunotoxicology, 

reproductive toxicology or teratology, 

and biostatistics. Its members are 

invited to serve overlapping terms of up 

to four years. BSC and TRR 

Subcommittee meetings are held 

annually or biannually.

Proposed Project 

National Coal Workers’ X-ray 

Surveillance Program (CWXSP)— 

Reinstatement with change—The 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CWXSP is a federally mandated 

program under the Federal Mine Safety 

and Health Act of 1977, Public Law–95– 

164. The Act provides the regulatory 

authority for the administration of the 

CWXSP, a surveillance program to 

protect the health and safety of 

underground coal miners. This Program 

requires the gathering of demographic 

and logistical information from coal 

mine operators, participating miners, 

participating x-ray facilities, and 

participating physicians. The 

Appalachian Laboratory for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(ALOSH), located in Morgantown, WV, 

is charged with administration of this 

Program. Over the past two years, 

participation in the CWXSP has 

increased, which is reflected in this 

submission for renewal. Physicians 

taking the B Reader Examination are 

asked to complete a registration form. 

There are approximately 300 physicians 

each year taking the certification exam. 

Miners participating in the CWXSP 

must fill out the Miner Identification 

Document. Mine operators are required 

to file a Mine X-ray Plan with NIOSH 

approximately every 3 years. 

Approximately 200 mine operators have 

X-ray plans that are due for renewal 

each year. An X-ray facility that applies 

to be a NIOSH-approved facility for 

providing miners X-rays must complete 

an approval packet. There are 

approximately 25 X-ray facilities each 

year seeking approval into the CWXSP 

Program. There will be no costs to study 

participants. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 2330.
