Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH)
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., June
8, 2010.
Place: Cincinnati Airport Marriott,
2395 Progress Drive, Hebron, Kentucky
41018, Telephone: (859) 334–4611, Fax:
(859) 334–4619.
Status: Open to the public, but
without a public comment period. To
access by conference call dial the
following information: (866) 659–0537,
Participant Pass Code 9933701.
Background: The ABRWH 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 ABRWH 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 ABRWH 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 ABRWH 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 a reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of
this class. The Subcommittee on
Procedures Review was established to
aid the ABRWH in carrying out its duty
to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose
reconstructions. The Subcommittee on
Procedures Review is responsible for
overseeing, tracking, and participating
in the reviews of all procedures used in
the dose reconstruction process by the
NIOSH Division of Compensation
Analysis and Support (DCAS) and its
dose reconstruction contractor.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda
for the Subcommittee meeting includes:
discussion of a draft prototype
document for informing the public on
completed Subcommittee procedure
reviews; discussion of the following
ORAU & OCAS procedures: PER–012
(‘‘Evaluation of Highly Insoluble
Plutonium Compounds’’), OTIB–013
(‘‘Special External Dose Reconstruction
Considerations for Mallinckrodt
Workers’’), OTIB–014 (‘‘Rocky Flats
Internal Dosimetry Co-Worker
Extension’’), OTIB–019 (‘‘Analysis of
Coworker Bioassay Data for Internal
Dose Assignment’’), OTIB–0029
(‘‘Internal Dosimetry Coworker Data for
Y–12’’), OTIB–0049 (‘‘Estimating Doses
for Plutonium Strongly Retained in the
Lung’’), OTIB–0047 (External Radiation
Monitoring at the Y–12 Facility During
the 1948–1949 Period’’), OTIB–0047
(‘‘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’’), OTIB–0054
(‘‘External Radiation Dose Estimates For
Individuals Near the 1958 Criticality
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Accident at the Oak Ridge Y–12 Plant’’),
OTIB–0070 (‘‘Dose Reconstruction
During Residual Radioactivity Periods at
Atomic Weapons Employer Facilities’’),
and TBD 6000 (‘‘Site Profile for Atomic
Weapons Employers that Worked
Uranium and Thorium Metals’’); 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.
