Human Services (HHS), on a variety of policy

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 CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility for
CDC. The charter was issued on August 3,

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

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 the
Subcommittee Meeting includes Individual
Dose Reconstruction Reviews; Site Profile
Reviews, particularly Bethlehem Steel, Y–12,
Savannah River Site and Rocky Flats; and a
