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 CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility for
CDC. The charter was issued on August 3,
2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and
will expire on August 3, 2009.
Purpose: The Advisory Board is charged
with (a) Providing advice to the Secretary,
HHS, on the development of guidelines
under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing
advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the
scientific 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 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. The Subcommittee for Dose
Reconstruction Reviews was established to
aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its
duty to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose
reconstruction.
Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for
the Subcommittee meeting includes the
discussion of cases under review on the 6th,
7th, and 8th sets of individual dose
reconstruction; selection of cases for future
review; and discussion of the summary
report on the first 100 cases.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
ABRWH determines that agency business
requires its consideration of this matter on
less than 15 days notice to the public and
that no earlier notice of this meeting was
possible.

Notice of Hearing: Reconsideration of
Disapproval of Texas State Plan
Amendment (SPA) 07–020
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Hearing.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces an
administrative hearing to be held on
July 8, 2008, at the CMS Dallas Regional
Office, 1301 Young Street, Suite 833,
Room 1196, Dallas, Texas 75202, to
reconsider CMS’ decision to disapprove
Texas SPA 07–020.
Closing Date: Requests to participate
in the hearing as a party must be
received by the presiding officer by June
13, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benjamin Cohen, Presiding Officer,
CMS, 2520 Lord Baltimore Drive, Suite
L, Baltimore, Maryland 21244,
Telephone: (410) 786–3169.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces an administrative
hearing to reconsider CMS’ decision to
disapprove Texas SPA 07–020 which
was submitted on July 20, 2007, and
disapproved on February 22, 2008.
Under this SPA, the State would
guarantee that, at the request of a
hospital impacted as a result of a
federally declared natural disaster,
disproportionate share hospital (DSH)
payments to that hospital would remain
level from the prior year. In addition,
the SPA would amend the conversion
factors that expire August 31, 2007, and
would update cost reporting citations
that have changed due to a format
change in the CMS Hospital and
Hospital Health Care Complex Cost
Report.
The amendment was disapproved
because it does not comply with the
requirements of section 1902(a)(13)(A)
of the Social Security Act (the Act)
together with the hospital specific limits
under 1923(g)(1) of the Act.
The hearing will involve the
following issues:
• Compliance with section 1923(g) of
the Act. Whether the proposed State
plan language concerning DSH
payments assures compliance with
hospital specific payment limits for
current year DSH payments, and
sufficient documentation of such
compliance;
• Applicability of section 1923(e)(2)
of the Act providing an exception to the
section 1923(g) limits. Whether section
