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

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

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 and

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: NIOSH 10-Year
Review of its Division of Compensation
Analysis and Support (DCAS) Program;
Review of Public Comments to the Advisory
Board during May 2010 Meeting; Status of

Data; Coordinating DCAS Support of Board
Activities; Advisory Board Subcommittee
and Work Group Updates; and, DCAS SEC
Petition Evaluations Update for the
November 2010 Advisory 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.
