Wyoming, South Dakota, Washington,
Utah, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, or
Texas. Finally, all three categories of
uranium workers must have been
diagnosed with a compensable disease.
For all three categories of uranium
workers (miners, millers, and ore
transporters), the Act specifies the
following six compensable diseases:
Primary cancer of the lung, fibrosis of
the lung, pulmonary fibrosis, cor
pulmonale related to fibrosis of the
lung, silicosis, and pneumoconiosis. In
addition to those compensable diseases
applicable to all three categories of
uranium workers, the Act specifies the
following two additional compensable
diseases for claimants who were
employed as millers and ore
transporters (but not as miners): Primary
renal cancer and chronic renal disease
including nephritis and kidney tubal

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of the Secretary
Submission for OMB Review:
Comment Request
October 10, 2008.
The issue has been raised whether
claimants can combine periods of
employment as a miner, miller, and ore
transporter. In order to be eligible for
compensation, the Act requires
claimants to have been employed for
one year as a miner, miller, or ore
transporter. In some instances, a
claimant may have worked in separate
positions as a miner, miller, or ore
transporter for less than one year, but
the claimant’s total, cumulative period
of employment in these positions
exceeds one year. The question is
whether the Act’s eligibility criteria may
be satisfied by such a combination of
periods of employment.
The Department is publishing this
Notice to articulate its policy that
claimants can combine periods of
employment as miners, millers, and ore
transporters to meet the one-year
requirement. For all three categories of
uranium workers (mining, milling, and
ore transporting), the Act specifies six
common diseases: Primary cancer of the
lung, fibrosis of the lung, pulmonary
fibrosis, cor pulmonale related to
fibrosis of the lung, silicosis, and
pneumoconiosis. Therefore, in cases
involving those six illnesses, the Act’s
exposure criteria can be satisfied by
combining periods of employment that
include mining, milling, and ore
transporting. For millers and ore
transporters (but not miners), the Act
specifies two additional compensable
diseases: Primary renal cancer and
chronic renal disease including
nephritis and kidney tubal tissue injury.
In cases involving those two illnesses,
the Act’s exposure criteria can be
satisfied by combining periods of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
employment that include only milling
and ore transporting.
This Notice is intended to inform the
public of the Department’s longstanding
policy regarding the calculation of the
referenced employment periods. In
addition, the Department will continue
to announce this policy at outreach
events and in communications with
claimants, counsel, and support groups.
