In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the following meeting for the
aforementioned subcommittee:
Time and Date: 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m.,

public comment period. To access by
conference call, use the following
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
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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: 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
Co-Worker 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
(‘‘Dose Reconstruction During Residual
Radioactivity Periods at Atomic Weapons
Employer Facilities’’); 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
