SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2015, 

NIOSH and the DOL Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs (OWCP) 

entered into a Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) 1 designed to 

establish a joint quality assurance 

program for the assessment of 

classifications of chest radiographic 

images performed by physicians in 

Black Lung Benefits proceedings who 

are ‘‘B Readers’’ certified by NIOSH. 

The B Reader Certification Program was 

established by NIOSH pursuant to the 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977, 30 U.S.C. 843. NIOSH B Readers 

are physicians who have demonstrated 

proficiency in the use of the 

International Labour Organization (ILO) 

Classification of Radiographs of 

Pneumoconioses by passing a 

proficiency examination offered by 

NIOSH, as specified in 42 CFR 37.51. B 

Readers may submit classifications as 

part of OWCP’s process of evaluating 

claims for compensation under the 

federal Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 

U.S.C. 901 to 944. 

To implement the MOU, NIOSH has 

developed a draft quality assurance 

review procedure entitled, NIOSH 

Quality Assurance Review of B Readers’ 

Classifications Submitted in the 

Department of Labor (DOL) Black Lung 

Benefits Program, to provide a 

mechanism to assess the quality of 

classifications of certain chest 

radiographs performed by B Readers. 

NIOSH quality assurance review will 

focus on the classification of the 

presence or absence of large opacities as 

described in the ILO classification 

system in chest radiographs, because 

coal miners with large opacities are 

irrefutably presumed to be totally 

disabled, or to have died, from 

pneumoconiosis, pursuant to 30 U.S.C. 

921(c)(3). Thus, determinations of large 

opacities have a significant impact on 

awarding benefits under the Black Lung 

Benefits Act. 

NIOSH seeks comment from B 

Readers and other interested parties on 

the draft procedure. All comments 

submitted will be considered; the final 

version of this procedure will be 

published on the NIOSH Web site.

Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control
