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 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, ORAU Team Technical
Information Bulletin (OTIB) 0054 (‘‘Fission
and Activation Product Assignment for
Internal Dose-Related Gross Beta and Gross
Gamma Analyses’’), OTIB 0082 (‘‘Dose
Reconstruction Method for Chronic
Lymphocytic Leukemia’’), Program
