Concerning a Class of Employees 

Considered for Addition to the Special 

Exposure Cohort 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) gives notice of a 

decision that a class of employees at the

Street, Washington, DC, do not meet the 

statutory criteria for addition to the 

Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) under 

the Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000 (EEOICPA). On December 8, 2005, 

the Secretary of HHS determined, based 

on the decision by the Department of 

Energy to remove the site from the list 

of covered facilities, that the following 

class of employees do not meet the 

statutory requirements for covered 

employees under EEOICPA and thus do 

not meet the statutory requirements for 

the SEC: 

Physicists who worked in Building #2 at 

the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), Van 

Ness Street, Washington, DC, from 1943 

through 1952. 

This determination may be subject to an 

administrative review within HHS, 

pursuant to 42 CFR 83.16(b).
