Act of 2000 to advise the President on a
variety of policy and technical functions
required to implement and effectively
manage the 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

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 on Procedures

Secretary, HHS, on dose reconstruction. It is
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:
preparation of status report to the Secretary
on procedures review; a discussion of SC&A
Findings and NIOSH Responses on OCAS–
IG–004 (‘‘The Use of Data from Other
Facilities in the Completion of Dose
Reconstructions under EEOICPA’’)
concerning the use of ‘‘surrogate data’’;
discussion of the following ORAU
procedures: OTIB–0035 (‘‘Internal Dosimetry
Co-worker Data for K–25’’), OTIB–0052
(‘‘Parameters to Consider when Processing
claims for Construction Trades Workers’’),
OTIB–0047 (External Radiation monitoring at
Y–12 During the 1948–1949 Period’’), and
OTIB–0049 (‘‘Estimating Doses for Plutonium
Strongly Retained in the Lung’’); and, a
continuation of the comment-resolution
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 comment period. In the
