Purpose of the Meeting: The National
Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
has been structured to engage partners
with each other and/or with NIOSH to
advance NORA priorities. The NORA
Liaison Committee continues to be an
opportunity for representatives from
organizations with national scope to
learn about NORA progress and to
suggest possible partnerships based on
their organization’s mission and
contacts. This opportunity is now
structured as a public meeting via the
internet to attract participation by a
larger number of organizations and to
further enhance the success of NORA.
Some of the types of organizations of
national scope that are especially
encouraged to participate are employers,
unions, trade associations, labor
associations, professional associations,
and foundations. Others are welcome.
This meeting will include updates
from NIOSH leadership on NORA as
well as updates from approximately half
of the Sector Councils on their progress,
priorities, and implementation plans to
date, including the Agriculture,
Forestry, and Fishing Sector; Healthcare
and Social Assistance Sector; Mining
Sector; Oil and Gas Extraction SubSector; and Transportation,
Warehousing, and Utilities Sector.
Updates will also be given on crosscouncil coordination activities in the
areas of safety culture and occupational
health disparities. After each update,
there will be time to discuss partnership
opportunities.
Status: The meeting is open to the
public, limited only by the capacities of
the conference call and conference room
facilities. There is limited space
available in the meeting room (capacity
34). Therefore, information to allow
participation in the meeting through the
internet (to see the slides) and a
teleconference call (capacity 50) will be
provided to registered participants.
Participants are encouraged to consider
attending by this method. Each
participant is requested to register for
the free meeting by sending an e-mail to
noracoordinator@cdc.gov containing the
participant’s name, organization name,
contact telephone number on the day of
the meeting, and preference for
participation by Web meeting
(requirements include: computer,
internet connection, and telephone,
preferably with ‘mute’ capability) or in
person. An e-mail confirming
registration will include the details
needed to participate in the Web
meeting. Non-US citizens are
encouraged to participate in the web
meeting. Non-US citizens who do not
register to attend in person on or before
January 6, 2010, will not be granted

access to the meeting site and will not

procedures at the Patriots Plaza facility.
Background: NORA is a partnership
program to stimulate innovative
research in occupational safety and
health leading to improved workplace
practices. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has
become a research framework for the
nation. Diverse parties collaborate to
identify the most critical issues in
workplace safety and health. Partners
then work together to develop goals and
objectives for addressing those needs
and to move the research results into
practice. The NIOSH role is facilitator of
the process. For more information about
NORA, see https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
nora/about.html.
Since 2006, NORA has been
structured according to industrial
sectors. Eight sector groups have been
defined using the North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS). After receiving public input
through the web and town hall
meetings, NORA Sector Councils have
been working to define sector-specific
strategic plans for conducting research
and moving the results into widespread
practice. During 2008–09, most of these
Councils have posted draft strategic
plans for public comment. Six have
posted finalized National Sector
Agendas after considering comments on
the drafts. For more information, see the
link above and choose ‘‘Sector-based
Approach,’’ ‘‘NORA Sector Councils,’’
‘‘Sector Agendas’’ and ‘‘Comment on
Draft Sector Agendas’’ from the rightside menu.

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
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,
most recently, August 3, 2009, and 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.
Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for
the conference call includes: University of
Rochester Atomic Energy Project SEC
Petition; Board Subcommittee and Work
Group Updates; Office of Compensation
Analysis and Support SEC Petition
Evaluations Update for February Board
Meeting.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
Because there is not a public comment
period, written comments may be submitted.
Any written comments received will be
included in the official record of the meeting
and should be submitted to the contact
person below in advance of the meeting.
