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 that 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 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,

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

6th, 7th, and 8th sets of individual dose
reconstructions; preparation of a letter report
on the first 100 dose reconstruction cases
reviewed; the selection of an 11th set of dose
reconstructions for review; discussion of
selection criteria and review rate for 2009;
and an update on site-specific dose
reconstruction guidelines.
The agenda is subject to change as

Title: Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Relationship Quality Survey.
OMB No.: 0970–0308.
Description: The Promoting Safe and
Stable Families Amendments of 2001
(Pub. L. 107–133) amended Title IV–B
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629–629e) to provide funding for
nonprofit agencies that recruit, screen,
train, and support mentors for children
with an incarcerated parent or parents.
The Family and Youth Services Bureau
(FYSB) of the Administration for
Children and Families, United States
Department of Health and Human
Services, administers the Mentoring
Children of Prisoners (MCP) program.
The MCP program creates lasting, highquality one-to-one mentoring
relationships that provide young people
with caring adult role models. The
quality of these relationships is an
important indicator of success in
mentoring programs. Previous research
has shown an association between highquality mentoring relationships and
positive changes in youth behavior
associated with positive youth benefits,
such as improved school attendance,
reductions in risk behavior, and other
benefits.
The Relationship Quality Instrument
consists of 15 rigorously field-tested
questions about the relationship, plus
several questions that establish context
(age, gender, duration of relationship
and frequency of contacts, etc.). The
answers to the questions help assess
how satisfied the youth (mentee) is with
the relationship; whether the mentee is
happy in the relationship; whether the
mentee trusts the mentor; and whether
the mentor has helped the mentee to
cope with problems. Researchers in the
field of mentoring have tested and
validated the questions.
FYSB requires grantees receiving
funding to provide information that can
be used to evaluate outcomes for
participating children. FYSB will use
the information provided by the
instrument to assure effective service
delivery and program management and
to guide the development of national
monitoring and technical assistance
systems. Finally, FYSB will use data
from this collection for reporting
program outcomes to Congress in the FY
2006 Performance Report during the
budget process and as the basis for
outcome evaluation of the program over
the long term.
