Background: The Advisory Board was

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.

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
Subcommittee on Procedures Reviews was
established to aid the Advisory Board in
carrying out its duty to advise the Secretary,
HHS, on dose reconstruction. It will be
responsible for overseeing, tracking, and
participating in the reviews of all procedures
used in the dose reconstruction process by
the NIOSH Office of Compensation Analysis
and Support (OCAS) and its dose
reconstruction contractor.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda for the
Subcommittee meeting includes: a discussion
of proposed new versions of the computerassisted telephone interview scripts and
procedures NIOSH uses to interview
claimants at the outset of the dose
reconstruction process; a discussion of
ORAUT–OTIB–0054 (‘‘Fission and
Activation Product Assignment for Internal
Dose-Related Gross Beta and Gross Gamma
Analyses’’), ORAUT–OTIB–0052
(‘‘Parameters for Processing Claims for
Construction Workers’’); ORAU–OTIB–0029
(Internal Dosimetry Coworker Data for Y–12);
and, a continuation of the commentresolution process for other dose
reconstruction procedures under review by
the Subcommittee.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
This meeting is open to the public, but
without a public oral comment period. In the
