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 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 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 ORAU and DCAS procedures: OCAS TIB–0009 (‘‘Estimation of Ingestion Intakes’’), DCAS TIB–0013 (‘‘Selected Geometric Exposure Scenario Considerations for External Dose Reconstruction at Uranium Facilities’’), DCAS OTIB–0010 (‘‘Best Estimate External Dose Reconstruction for Glovebox Workers’’), DCAS IG–001 (‘‘External Dose Reconstruction Implementation Guidelines’’), DCAS IG–003 (‘‘Radiation Exposures Covered for Dose Reconstructions under Part B of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act’’), DCAS IG–005 (‘‘Use of Classified Information’’), Program Evaluation Report 014 (‘‘Construction Trades Workers’’), Program Evaluation Report 017 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:34 Jan 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 (‘‘Evaluation of Incomplete Internal Dose Records from Idaho, Argonne-East and Argonne-West National Laboratories’’), Program Evaluation Report 029 (‘‘Hanford’’), ORAUT–PROC–0044 (‘‘Special Exposure Cohort’’); Discussion of New Summaries of Completed Reviews; and a continuation of the comment-resolution process for other dose reconstruction procedures under review by the Subcommittee.
