Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 23, 2011 / Notices
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 new 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.
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, 2013.
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 for Dose
Reconstruction Reviews was established to
aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its
duty to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose
reconstruction.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda for the
Subcommittee meeting includes: discussion
of dose reconstruction cases under review
(sets 7–10); DCAS dose reconstruction
quality management and assurance activities;
and dose reconstruction issues from NIOSH
10-year review.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
In the event an individual cannot attend,
written comments may be submitted. Any
written comments received will be provided
at the meeting and should be submitted to
the contact person below well in advance of
the meeting.

Public Health Service Guideline for
Reducing Transmission of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis
C Virus (HCV) Through Solid Organ
Transplantation
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS).
ACTION: Extension of the public
comment period.
AGENCY:
On September 21, 2011, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), located within the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), published a notice in
the Federal Register requesting public
comment on the draft ‘‘Public Health
Service (PHS) Guideline for Reducing
Transmission of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis
C Virus (HCV) through Solid Organ
Transplantation’’ (76 FR 58517). Written
and electronic comments were to be
received on or before November 21,
2011. However, HHS/CDC has received
requests for a 30 day extension of the
comment period. In consideration of
those requests, HHS/CDC is extending
the comment period by 30 days to
December 23, 2011.
CDC also published a supporting
document for reference, the Evidence
Report. The Evidence Report includes
primary evidence, studies, and data
tables that were used by the Guideline
authors in developing the
recommendations in the Guideline.
The draft Guideline is for use by organ
procurement organizations (OPOs);
transplant centers, including
physicians, nurses, administrators, and
clinical coordinators; laboratory
personnel responsible for testing and
storing donor and recipient specimens;
and persons responsible for developing,
implementing, and evaluating infection
prevention and control programs for
OPOs and transplant centers. This
Guideline provides evidence-based
recommendations for reducing
unexpected transmission of HIV, HBV
and HCV from deceased and living
organ donors.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before December 23,
2011.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
submitted electronically or by mail. To
