In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC),
announces the following meeting of the
aforementioned committee:
Time and Date: 11 a.m.–4 p.m.,

number is 1–866–659–0537 with a pass
code of 9933701.
Status: Open to the public, but
without a public comment period.
Background: The Advisory Board was
established under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 to advise the
President on a variety of policy and
technical functions required to
implement and effectively manage the
new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines
which have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (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 Advisory
Board to HHS, which subsequently
delegated this authority to the CDC.

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.

fellowships that focus on development
of primary care research investigators.
Duration—Fellowships will last 2 to 3
years.
Features—Applications should
include a rigorous research/training
track which is offered at an academic
health science center. Advanced degrees
(e.g., M.P.H., M.P.A.) are a desirable
option. Desirable candidates include
multidisciplinary physician faculty and
fellows. Research areas should be
consistent with the scope and content of
primary care practice and education,
and may include such areas as the
linkage between Healthy People 2010
and health disparities, community and
