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
Reviews was established to aid the Advisory
Board in carrying out its duty to advise the
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; discussion of the
following ORAU & OCAS procedures: OTIB–
013 (‘‘Special External Dose Reconstruction
Considerations for Mallinckrodt Workers’’),
OTIB–014 (‘‘Rocky Flats Internal Dosimetry
Co-Worker Extension’’), OTIB–0029
(‘‘Internal Dosimetry Coworker Data for Y–
12’’), OTIB–0049 (‘‘Estimating Doses for
Plutonium Strongly Retained in the Lung’’),
OTIB–0051 (‘‘Effect of Threshold Energy and
Angular Response of NTA Film on Missed
Neutron Dose at the Oak Ridge Y–12
Facility’’), OTIB–0054 (‘‘Fission and
Activation Product Assignment for Internal
Dose-Related Gross Beta and Gross Gamma
Analyses’’), and OTIB–0070 (‘‘External
Coworker Dosimetry Data for the Sandia
National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New
Mexico’’); 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
event an individual wishes to provide
comments, written comments may be
submitted. Any written comments received
will be provided at the meeting and should
