Designation of a Class of Employees
for Addition to the Special Exposure
Cohort
Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices: Meeting
This designation will become
effective on December 9, 2006, unless
Congress provides otherwise prior to the
effective date. After this effective date,
HHS will publish a notice in the
Federal Register reporting the addition
of this class to the SEC or the result of
any provision by Congress regarding the
decision by HHS to add the class to the
SEC.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 7384q, in a
October 11, 2006 letter to the Secretary
of HHS, the Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health (‘‘the
Board’’) advised the Secretary of HHS to
designate the class as an addition to the
SEC. The Board further stated,
ACTION:
‘‘In their evaluation, NIOSH determined
that it was difficult to identify people who
worked in these areas of LANL based on job
classifications. Therefore, the Board
recommends that determination of eligibility
for this class take into account this difficulty
and in the absence of work history or other
information to the contrary, workers at the
LANL facility during the period in question
should be presumed to have worked in the
areas in question.’’
Since determination of eligibility is
not within the authority of HHS, the
Board’s recommendation on this issue
was not included in the HHS
designation.
