B Readers are also employed in a variety of other clinical, research and compensation settings. NIOSH is using the issuance of the new International Labour Office (ILO) Classification of Radiographs as an opportunity to expand its Web site on the B Reader Program and use of the ILO system. NIOSH-certified B Readers use the internationally-recognized ILO system to classify chest radiographs for the presence and severity of pulmonary parenchymal and pleural changes potentially caused by exposure to dusts such as asbestos, silica, and coal mine dust. The revised program Web site provides more information about radiographic reading and the ILO system including recommendations or ‘‘best practices’’ for use of the ILO system in different settings. We are specifically seeking public comment for the draft Document: ‘‘Recommendations for Applying the International Labour Office (ILO) International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses in Medical Diagnosis, Research and Population Surveillance, Worker Health Monitoring, Government Program Eligibility, and Compensation Settings.’’ This document can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ chestradiography/ recommendations.html. At this same time, NIOSH is also seeking comment on its proposed ‘‘Ethical Considerations for B Readers’’ which can be found at this same Web site. In a recent decision in the In Re Silica Products Litigation, 2005 WL 1593936 (S.D. Tex June 30, 2005), Federal District Court Judge Janis Jack raised questions regarding the ethical conduct of certain physicians, some of whom were B Readers, in reading x-rays in litigation. NIOSH is proposing ‘‘Ethical Considerations for B Readers’’ which includes a code of ethics modeled after those of the American College of Radiology and the American Medical Association. We welcome comments on this proposed code of ethics. Please review and submit your comments on either or both of these documents to CWHSP@cdc.gov. If you would prefer to have a hard copy rather than electronic, please contact NIOSH at this same e-mail address, and we will be happy to fax or mail copies of the documents to you. The documents will remain available for comment until January 17, 2006. After that date, NIOSH will consider all the comments submitted and make appropriate revisions to the document E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM 17NON1
