In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention announces the
following committee meeting:
Time and Date: 11 a.m.–2 p.m., Tuesday,

number is 1–866–659–0537 with a pass code
of 9933701.
Status: Open to the public, but without a
public comment period.
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
PO 00000

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 which
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 the
CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on August
3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,
will expire on August 3, 2011.
Purpose: This 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, advising 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.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office for
Interoperability and Compatibility
(OIC), in partnership with the Public
Safety Communications Research
(PSCR) program within the U.S
Department of Commerce, will host the
second Video Quality in Public Safety
(VQiPS) conference in September 2009.
The conference will provide
stakeholders with the opportunity to
discuss their successes and the
challenges related to video quality and
interoperability. Information will be
presented by field experts regarding
video technology, standards
development, and video system
integration. The conference will also
review the work of the VQiPS Working
Group, which is comprised of
volunteers from each public safety
discipline—local, state, and Federal
law, fire, and emergency medical
services practitioners; Federal partners;
representatives from academia and nonprofit entities; and manufacturers. The
Working Group coordinates efforts
among organizations and agencies that
are developing video standards for their
own use.
DATES: The conference will take place
Tuesday, September 1, 2009, through
Thursday, September 3, 2009.
ADDRESSES: The conference will be held
at the Institute for Telecommunication
Sciences laboratories at 325 Broadway,
Boulder, Colorado. Additional
conference details can be found at
https://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/psvq/vqips/.

video services, a clear picture can mean
the difference between life and death.
Video applications are quickly emerging
as an essential component in seamless
communications among emergency
responders. In the past, public safety
has looked to manufacturers to inform
them of their video equipment needs,
but as video technology has evolved, the
array of options for public safety
practitioners has grown and the
interoperability challenges have become
increasingly complex. Thus, the need
has emerged for public safety to
collectively articulate their video
quality needs to the manufacturing
community.
In 2008, OIC within DHS and the U.S.
Department of Commerce’s PSCR
program formed the VQiPS Working
Group, which is composed of volunteers
from each public safety discipline.
Participants include local, state, and
Federal law, fire, and emergency
medical services practitioners; Federal
partners; representatives from academia
and non-profit entities; and
manufacturers. Together, Working
Group members coordinate efforts
among organizations and agencies that
are developing video standards for their
own use.
Although each public safety
discipline’s video content may seem
very different on the surface, many
common elements exist that imply
similar video quality specifications. The
Working Group is therefore developing
a set of application-independent use
cases and a user guide to help public
safety agencies determine their
particular use cases. The Working
Group effort will help practitioners
implement effective video systems for
their specific needs. Future outputs of
the Working Group will include a
glossary of shared terminology related to
video quality, video equipment, and
specifications to aid public safety
agencies in becoming more effective.
As public safety agencies migrate to
more powerful broadband systems, the
use of video will undoubtedly increase.
In preparation, OIC is bridging the gap
between diverse agencies and
preventing duplicative or competing
efforts to define and deploy video
systems. OIC is also acting as an
objective technical resource to ensure
future video technologies reflect the
needs of the entire public safety
community.
