In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(Pub. L. 92–463), CDC announces the
following meeting for the
aforementioned subcommittee:

Status: Open to the public, but without a
public comment period. To access by

information 1 (866) 659–0537, Participant
Pass Code 9933701.
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 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, 2011.
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
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
be submitted to the contact person below in
advance of the meeting.
