Background: The Advisory Board was established under the Energy

required to implement and effectively manage the new compensation 
program. Key functions of the Advisory Board include providing advice

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

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
