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. The
Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction and
Site Profile Reviews was established on June
21, 2004, to facilitate the work of the Board
by assisting in the performance of the Board’s
statutory requirements, and does so by
advising and reporting to the Board
according to the requirements of HHS and
the establishment memo.
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, advising
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: The agenda for
this meeting will focus on Scoring
Methodology, Wrap Up of the First 20 Dose
Reconstructions, the Upcoming Set of 18
Dose Reconstruction Reviews Status, and the
Bethlehem Steel Site Profile.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
Due to programmatic issues that had to be
resolved, the Federal Register notice is being
published less than fifteen days before the
date of the meeting.
In the event an individual cannot attend,
written comments may be submitted. Any
written comments received will be provided
at the meeting and should be submitted to
