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

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

2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and

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
the Advisory Board meeting includes
Updates on Conflict of Interest Issues;
Working Group Updates; Selection of Board
Members for Individual Dose Reconstruction
Reviews; Planning for Board Future Meetings
and Activities; and Discussion of Past Public
Comments and Possible Board Actions.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate. 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 the contact person below
