petitions to add classes of workers to the
Special Exposure Cohort.
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, 2017.
Purpose: The Advisory Board 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, 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. The
Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction
Reviews was established to aid the
Advisory Board in carrying out its duty
to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose
reconstruction.
Matters for Discussion: The agenda for
the Subcommittee meeting includes the
following dose reconstruction program
quality management and assurance
activities: Dose reconstruction cases
under review from Sets 14–18,
including the Oak Ridge sites (Y–12, K–
25, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and
Savannah River Site; preparation of the
Advisory Board’s next report to the
Secretary, HHS, summarizing the results
of completed dose reconstruction
reviews.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
