(EEOICPA) of 2000 to advise the President,
delegated to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services (HHS), 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 have been promulgated by
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 Board to HHS, which
subsequently delegated this authority to the
CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on August
3, 2001, and renewed on August 3, 2003.
Purpose: This board is charged with (a)
providing advice to the Secretary, HHS on
the development of guidelines under
Executive Orders 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 Program Status Reports
from NIOSH and the Department of Labor;
Site Profile Review of Bethlehem Steel; Task
3 Procedures Review; Site Profile Review of

Background: Under a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) signed in December
1990 with DOE, and replaced by MOUs
signed in 1996 and 2000, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) was given
the responsibility and resources for
conducting analytic epidemiologic
investigations of residents of communities in
the vicinity of DOE facilities, workers at DOE
facilities, and other persons potentially
exposed to radiation or to potential hazards
from non-nuclear energy production use.
HHS delegated program responsibility to
CDC.
In addition, a memo was signed in October
1990 and renewed in November 1992, 1996,
and in 2000, between ATSDR and DOE. The
MOU delineates the responsibilities and
procedures for ATSDR’s public health
activities at DOE sites required under
sections 104, 105, 107, and 120 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or
‘‘Superfund’’). These activities include health
consultations and public health assessments
at DOE sites listed on, or proposed for, the
Superfund National Priorities List and at
sites that are the subject of petitions from the
public; and other health-related activities
such as epidemiologic studies, health
surveillance, exposure and disease registries,
health education, substance-specific applied
research, emergency response, and
preparation of toxicological profiles.
Purpose: This subcommittee is charged
with providing advice and recommendations
to the Director of CDC and the Administrator
of ATSDR pertaining to CDC’s and ATSDR’s
public health activities and research at this
DOE site. The purpose of this meeting is to
provide a forum for community, American
Indian Tribal, and labor interaction, and to
serve as a vehicle for communities, American
Indian Tribes, and labor to express concerns
and provide advice and recommendations to
CDC and ATSDR.
Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda items
include a presentation on Radiation
Epidemiology from the National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), CDC, and a
Subcommittee discussion on the Advanced
Technologies and Laboratories International,
Inc., final report.
Agenda items are subject to change as
priorities dictate.

ACTION: Notice of New System of
Records (SOR).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
we are proposing to establish a new
system of records, called the ‘‘Cytology
Personnel Record System (CYPERS),
HHS/CMS/CMSO, 09–70–0543.’’ The
primary purpose of CYPERS is to assure
CMS of the accuracy and reliability of
gynecologic cytology testing by
compliance with the CLIA statutory
requirements. This will be
accomplished by tracking and
monitoring the enrollment,
participation, and performance of
individual cytotechnologists and
physicians participating in CMS
approved gynecologic cytology
proficiency testing programs.
Information retrieved from this
system of records will be used to
support regulatory, reimbursement, and
policy functions performed within the
agency or by a contractor or consultant;
support constituent requests made to a
Congressional representative; and
support litigation involving the agency.
We have provided background
information about the proposed system
in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section, below. Although the Privacy
Act requires only that the ‘‘routine use’’
portion of the system be published for
comment, CMS invites comments on all
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703

portions of this notice. See EFFECTIVE
DATES section for comment period.
EFFECTIVE DATES: CMS filed a new
system report with the Chair of the
House Committee on Government
Reform and Oversight, the Chair of the
Senate Committee on Governmental
Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) on December 23, 2004. In any
event, we will not disclose any
information under a routine use until
forty (40) calendar days after
publication. We may defer
implementation of this system of
records or one or more of the routine
use statements listed below if we
receive comments that persuade us to
defer implementation.
ADDRESSES: The public should address
comments to: Director, Division of
Privacy Compliance Data Development
(DPCDD), CMS, Room N2–04–27, 7500
Security Boulevard, Baltimore,
Maryland 21244–1850. Comments
received will be available for review at
