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 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, 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 whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such
radiation doses may have endangered
the health of members of this class. The

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 selection of an 11th set of dose
reconstructions for review; discussion of
cases under review from the 6th, 7th,
and 8th sets of individual dose
reconstructions; preparation of a letter
report on the first 100 dose
reconstruction cases reviewed; and,
discussion of selection criteria and
review rate for 2009.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate. Written comments
may be submitted from the public. Any
written comments received will be
provided at the meeting and should be
submitted to the contact person below
well in advance of the meeting.
This meeting was previously
scheduled to convene on January 29,
2009, but was cancelled due to
inclement weather and airport facility
inaccessibility. The meeting was
scheduled to reconvene as soon as
possible; therefore, this Federal Register
notice is being published less than
fifteen days prior to the meeting date.

(OMB Control Number 0910–NEW)
The proposed survey will gather
information about fishing and fish
consumption habits in the Mississippi
Delta region, as well as the respondents’
awareness and understanding of the
Regional Delta Advisory (RDA) issued
by the Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality. Under section
903(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)), FDA
is authorized to conduct research
relating to foods and to conduct

educational and public information
programs relating to the safety of the
nation’s food supply. In June 2005, the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA’s) Office of Water and FDA’s
Center for Food Safety and Applied
Nutrition finalized a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to enhance
collaboration between FDA and EPA
regarding environmental contaminants
in fish and shellfish and the safety of
fish and shellfish for U.S. consumers.
The MOU is available at https://
www.epa.gov/waterscience/fish/files/
moufdaepa.pdf.
The proposed study is phase two of a
two phase study designed to determine
whether existing fish consumption
recommendations issued by the State of
Mississippi are adequately protecting
sport and subsistence consumers of fish
harvested from Delta waters. The final
report of phase one, entitled
‘‘Recommended Study Design for a
Survey to Evaluate the Effectiveness of
Mississippi Delta Fish Advisories,’’ is
available at https://www.epa.gov/
waterscience/fish/technical/msdelta.html. Based on the report cited in
this paragraph, FDA is conducting the
proposed survey on behalf of EPA to
evaluate the effectiveness of the
Mississippi Delta Fish Advisories. The
proposed survey will collect
information on the extent to which
Delta sport and subsistence fishermen
and their families are aware of the RDA
and its recommendations and the extent
to which the respondents have changed
their fish consumption behaviors as a
result of the advisory. The survey will
also document specific behavior
changes resulting from the RDA, such as
increases or decreases in the amount of
locally harvested fish consumed,
changes in methods of fish preparation,
and consumption or avoidance of
specific species of fish.
Results of the survey will provide
EPA information about fishing and fish
consumption habits in the Mississippi
Delta region, as well as the respondents’
awareness and understanding of the
RDA.
The respondents will be selected from
four counties in the Mississippi Delta
region. Counties were selected to
include a mix of rural and non-rural
areas and areas with major water
resources affected by the advisory. The
selected counties are Coahoma, Holmes,
Leflore, and Washington. Only the part
of Holmes County that is within the
advisory area will be included in the
survey.
The total sample will include 400 onthe-banks interviews and 600 household
interviews of sport and subsistence
fishers who harvest noncommercial fish
