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 of the
aforementioned subcommittee:
Time and Date:
9 a.m.–5 p.m., Eastern Time, July 31,
2012
Place: Cincinnati Airport Marriott,
2395 Progress Drive, Hebron, Kentucky

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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:11 Jul 10, 2012
Jkt 226001
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, 2013.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 following Oak Ridge
Associated Universities and DCAS
procedures: DCAS TIB–0013 (‘‘Selected
Geometric Exposure Scenario
Considerations for External Dose
Reconstruction at Uranium Facilities’’),
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’’), PER 14 (‘‘Construction
Trades Workers’’), PER 17 (Evaluation of
Incomplete internal Dosimetry records
from Idaho, Argonne-East and ArgonneWest National Laboratories’’), and PER
20 (‘‘Blockson TBD Revision’’);
Identification of Overarching Dose
Reconstruction Issues; Discussion of
New Summaries of Completed
Procedure Reviews; 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 an oral public comment
period. In the event an individual
wishes to provide comments, written
comments may be submitted. Any
written comments received will be
provided at the meeting and should be
submitted to the contact person below
in advance of the meeting.
