Grant (NRSA) waivers, significant
rebudgeting, 2nd and 3rd no cost
extensions, and change of scope. These
are all prior approvals as required by the
NIH Grants Policy, and need to be
reviewed and approved by the NHLBI.
ePASS will provide a template to ensure
that all specific points are addressed
and documented in the official grant
file. All information is submitted via the
internet, tracked in ePASS, and the
documentation will automatically be
forwarded to the official grant file. The
system will ensure that individuals
authorized by the grantee are submitting
requests and that the appropriate NIH
staff is receiving the requests. The
requests will be template driven so that
the grantee is including the minimally
required information, thus eliminating
the usual back and forth to obtain
missing information. Forms will have
automatic fill-in capability that will
reduce typos in grant numbers and PI
names, further reducing approval time.
Reminders will be sent to NIH staff
within ePASS based on roles to ensure
timely responses to the grantee. The
system will facilitate email
communication with applicants by
automatic notifications when
applications are received and when NIH
has made a determination regarding a
request (approval issued or request
denied with explanation for denial).
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
470.

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
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
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) 0034 (‘‘Internal Dose Coworker
Data for X–10’’), 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’’),
Update on Review of ORAU Team
Report 0053 (‘‘Stratified Co-Worker
Sets’’); 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.
