Advisory Board on Radiation and

Worker Health: Meeting

In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC)

announces the following committee

meeting.

Name: Advisory Board on Radiation and

Worker Health (ABRWH).

Times and Dates: 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.,

January 22, 2002.

8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., January 23, 2002.

Place: Holiday Inn on the Hill, 415 New

telephone 202/638–1616, fax 202/347–1813.

Status: Open to the public, limited only by

the space available. The meeting room

accommodates approximately 50 people.

Background: The Advisory Board on

Radiation and Worker Health (the 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 Board include providing

advice on the development of probability of

causation guidelines which are being

promulgated by Department of Health and

Human Services (HHS), advice on methods of

dose reconstruction which have been

promulgated as an interim final rule,

evaluation of the validity and quality of dose

reconstructions conducted by the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

(NIOSH) for qualified cancer claimants, and

advice on the addition of classes of workers

to the Special Exposure Cohort.

In December 2000, the President delegated

responsibility for funding, staffing, and

operating the Board to HHS, which

subsequently delegated this authority to the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC). NIOSH implements this responsibility

for CDC. The charter was signed on August

3, 2001, and in November 2001, the President

completed the appointment of an initial

roster of 10 Board members. The initial tasks

of the Board will be to review and provide

advice on the proposed and interim rules of

HHS.

Purpose: This 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, advise

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 Discussed: Agenda for this

meeting will focus on member orientation

and include briefings by NIOSH, CDC

Committee Management Office, Office of the

General Counsel and/or Office of

Government Ethics. The Board will also

review, evaluate, and comment on the rule

on probability of causation.

Agenda items are subject to change as

priorities dictate.
