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 the Norton Company
Special Exposure Cohort Petition (1962–
2009) and discussion of the following
ORAU and OCAS procedures: ORAUT–
RPRT–0044 (‘‘Analysis of Bioassay Data
with a Significant Fraction of Less-Than
Results’’), OCAS TIB–0013 (‘‘Special
External Dose Reconstruction
Considerations for Mallinckrodt
Workers’’), OTIB–019 (‘‘Analysis of
Coworker Bioassay Data for Internal
Dose Assignment’’), OTIB–0029
(‘‘Internal Dosimetry Coworker Data for
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Y–12’’), OTIB–0047 (‘‘External
Radiation Monitoring at the Y–12
Facility During the 1948–1949 Period’’),
OTIB–0049 (‘‘Estimating Doses for
Plutonium Strongly Retained in the
Lung’’), OTIB–0052 (‘‘Parameters to
Consider When Processing Claims for
Construction Trade Workers’’), 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
