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 meeting for the

is also welcome to listen to the meeting by
joining the teleconference at the USA tollfree, dial-in number, 1–866–659–0537 and
the passcode is 9933701.
Background: The ABRWH 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
compensation program. Key functions of the
ABRWH include providing advice on the
development of probability of causation
guidelines that have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) as a final rule; advice on methods of
dose reconstruction which have also been
promulgated by HHS as a final rule; advice
on the scientific validity and quality of dose
estimation and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the compensation
program; and advice on petitions to add
classes of workers to the Special Exposure
Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which
subsequently delegated this authority to CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility for
CDC. The charter was issued on August 3,
2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and
will expire on August 3, 2015.
Purpose: The ABRWH 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,
providing advice to 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 a reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of this
class. The Subcommittee on Procedures
Review was established to aid the ABRWH in
carrying out its duty to advise the Secretary,
HHS, on dose reconstructions. The
Subcommittee on Procedures Review is
responsible for overseeing, tracking, and
participating in the reviews of all procedures
used in the dose reconstruction process by
the NIOSH Division of Compensation
Analysis and Support (DCAS) and its dose
reconstruction contractor (Oak Ridge
Associated Universities—ORAU).
Matters for Discussion: The agenda for the
Subcommittee meeting includes: Discussion
of procedures in the following ORAU and
DCAS technical documents: Procedures for
reconstructing dose associated with potential
skin contamination, ORAU Team Technical
Information Bulletin (OTIB) 0054 (‘‘Fission
and Activation Product Assignment for
Internal Dose-Related Gross Beta and Gross

the Institute’s standard grants review
and funding cycles pertaining to
research issues in occupational safety
and health, and allied areas.
It is the intent of NIOSH to support
broad-based research endeavors in
keeping with the Institute’s program
goals. This will lead to improved
understanding and appreciation for the
magnitude of the aggregate health
burden associated with occupational
injuries and illnesses, as well as to
support more focused research projects,
which will lead to improvements in the
delivery of occupational safety and
health services, and the prevention of
work-related injury and illness. It is
anticipated that research funded will
promote these program goals.
Matters for Discussion: The meeting
will convene to address matters related
to the conduct of Study Section
business and for the study section to
consider safety and occupational healthrelated grant applications.
These portions of the meeting will be
closed to the public in accordance with
provisions set forth in Section
552b(c)(4) and (6), Title 5 U.S.C., and

Title: Information Collections for the
Interim Final Rule on Standards to
Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Sexual
Abuse and Sexual Harassment Involving
Unaccompanied Children.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: In accordance with
section 1101(c) of the Violence Against
Women Reauthorization Act of 2013,
Public Law 113–4 (VAWA 2013), the
Administration for Children and
families (ACF), Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) published an
interim final rule (IFR) on December 24,
2014 setting forth standards to prevent,
detect, and respond to sexual abuse and
sexual harassment involving
unaccompanied children (UC). The IFR
requires care provider facilities to
collect, report, and retain information to
ensure care provider facilities are
properly preventing, detecting, and
responding to all incidents of sexual
abuse and sexual harassment that occur
while a UC is in ORR care and custody.
The proposed information collections
solicit information to document a care
provider facility’s efforts to do so. The
proposed information collections
associated with this rule include the
following:
(1) Sexual Abuse Significant Incident
Report Form: ORR requires care
provider facilities to use this form to
report allegations related to sexual
abuse and sexual harassment to ORR so
that ORR may be able to monitor and
track allegations of sexual abuse and
sexual harassment as well as ensure
proper follow-up. All care provider
facility staff, volunteers, and contractors
are required to report to ORR and thirdparties: any knowledge, suspicion, or
information regarding an incident of
sexual abuse or sexual harassment;
retaliation; staff neglect or violation of
responsibilities that may have
contributed to an incident or retaliation;
and allegations of sexual abuse or sexual
harassment that occurred while the UC
was at another care provider facility.
(2) Assessment of Risk Form: ORR
requires care provider facilities to use
this form to assess a UC’s risk of being
sexually abused or harassed or being
sexually abusive or harassing other UC
while in ORR care and custody. Care
provider facilities will use this
information to inform a UC’s service
