assess whether or to what extent
language access services must be
provided in order to comply with the
Title VI requirement to take reasonable
steps to provide meaningful access to
their programs for persons with limited
English proficiency.
Principal Standard and Three
Enhanced Themes
Principal Standard
Standard 1 has been made the
Principal Standard with the
understanding that it frames the
essential goal of all of the Standards,
and if the other 14 Standards are
adopted, implemented, and maintained,
then the Principal Standard will be
achieved.
1. Provide effective, equitable,
understandable, respectful, and quality
care and services that are responsive to
diverse cultural health beliefs and
practices, preferred languages, health
literacy, and other communication
needs.
Theme 1: Governance, Leadership, and
Workforce
Changing the name of Theme 1 from
Culturally Competent Care to
Governance, Leadership, and Workforce
provides greater clarity on the specific
locus of action for each of these
Standards and emphasizes the
importance of the implementation of
CLAS as a systemic responsibility,
requiring the investment, support, and
training of all individuals within an
organization.
The Standards in this theme include:
2. Advance and sustain governance
and leadership that promotes CLAS and
health equity
3. Recruit, promote, and support a
diverse governance, leadership, and
workforce
4. Educate and train governance,
leadership, and workforce in CLAS

Theme 2: Communication and
Language Assistance
Changing the name of Theme 2 from
Language Access Services to
Communication and Language
Assistance broadens the understanding
and application of appropriate services
to include all communication needs and
services, including sign language,
braille, oral interpretation, and written
translation.
The Standards in this theme include:
5. Offer communication and language
assistance
6. Inform individuals of the
availability of language assistance

Theme 3: Engagement, Continuous
Improvement, and Accountability
Advisory Board on Radiation and
Worker Health (ABRWH or Advisory
Board), National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH)
Changing the name of Theme 3 from
Organizational Supports to Engagement,
Continuous Improvement, and
Accountability underscores the
importance of establishing individual
responsibility in ensuring that CLAS is
supported, while retaining the
understanding that effective delivery of
CLAS demands actions across an
organization. This revision focuses on
the supports necessary for adoption,
implementation, and maintenance of
culturally and linguistically appropriate
policies and services regardless of one’s
role within an organization or practice.
All individuals are accountable for
upholding the values and intent of the
National CLAS Standards.
The Standards in this theme include:
9. Infuse CLAS goals, policies, and
management accountability throughout
the organization’s planning and
operations
10. Conduct organizational
assessments
11. Collect and maintain demographic
data
12. Conduct assessments of
community health assets and needs
13. Partner with the community
14. Create conflict and grievance
resolution processes
15. Communicate the organization’s
progress in implementing and
sustaining CLAS.
The past decade has shown that the
National CLAS Standards are a dynamic
framework. Therefore, as best and
promising practices in the field of
cultural and linguistic competence
develop, there will be future
enhancements of the National CLAS
Standards. The HHS OMH also
maintains a Web version of The
Blueprint to provide a more
comprehensive and up-to-date resource,

In December 2000, the President

delegated this authority to the CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility

2013.
Purpose: This Advisory Board is

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.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda
for the Advisory Board meeting
includes: NIOSH Program Update;
Department of Labor Program Update;
Department of Energy Program Update;
SEC petitions for: Rocky Flats Plant,
Sandia National Laboratory—Livermore

information will not usually be

information.
(3) If a commenter reveals personal
information concerning a living third
party, that information will be reviewed
by the NIOSH FOIA coordinator, and

appropriated, such information will be
redacted, unless the disclosure is made
by the third party’s authorized
representative under the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA)
program.
(4) In general, information concerning
a deceased third party may be disclosed;
however, such information will be
redacted if (a) the disclosure is made by
an individual other than the survivor
claimant, a parent, spouse, or child, or
the authorized representative of the
deceased third party; (b) if it is unclear
whether the third party is living or
deceased; or (c) the information is
unrelated or irrelevant to the purpose of
the disclosure.
The Board will take reasonable steps
to ensure that individuals making
public comment are aware of the fact
that their comments (including their
name, if provided) will appear in a
