Status: Open to the public but

Background: The Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health 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 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, 2015.
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, providing advice
to 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 (Oak
Ridge Associated Universities–ORAU).
Matters For Discussion: The agenda
for the Subcommittee meeting includes:
Discussion of procedures in the
following ORAU and DCAS technical
documents: Procedures for
reconstructing dose associated with
potential skin contamination, External
Dose Reconstruction Implementation
Guide (IG 001), ORAU Team Technical
Information Bulletin (OTIB) 0034

X–10’’), OTIB 0054 (‘‘Fission and
