Background: The Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health (ABRWH
or the Advisory Board) 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
new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board 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.
In December 2000, the President
delegated responsibility for funding,
staffing, and operating the Advisory
Board to HHS, which subsequently
delegated this authority to CDC.
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) implements
this responsibility for CDC. The charter
was issued on August 3, 2001, renewed

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 (SDRR) 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),
Hanford, Feed Materials Production
Center (‘‘Fernald’’), Mound Plant, Rocky
Flats Plant, Nevada Test Site, Idaho
National Laboratory, and Savannah
River Site; consideration of new dose
reconstruction review methods and/or
case selection criteria.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Background
HHS/CDC established the Vessel
Sanitation Program (VSP) in the 1970s
as a cooperative activity with the cruise
ship industry. VSP helps the cruise ship
industry prevent and control the
introduction, transmission, and spread
of gastrointestinal illnesses on cruise
ships. VSP operates under the authority
of the Public Health Service Act
(Section 361 of the Public Health
Service Act; 42 U.S.C. 264, ‘‘Control of
Communicable Diseases’’). Regulations
found at 42 CFR 71.41 (Foreign
Quarantine—Requirements Upon
Arrival at U.S. Ports: Sanitary
Inspection; General Provisions) state
that carriers arriving at U.S. ports from
foreign areas are subject to sanitary
inspections to determine whether
rodent, insect, or other vermin
infestations exist, contaminated food or
water, or other sanitary conditions
requiring measures for the prevention of
the introduction, transmission, or
spread of communicable diseases are
present.
The fee schedule for sanitation
inspections of passenger cruise ships by
VSP was first published in the Federal
Register on November 24, 1987 (52 FR
45019). HHS/CDC began collecting fees
on March 1, 1988. This notice
announces fees that are effective for FY
2017, beginning on October 1, 2016,
through September 30, 2017.
The following formula will be used to
determine the fees:
conducted as part of HHS/CDC’s VSP.
Inspections and reinspections involve
the same procedures, require the same
amount of time, and are therefore
charged at the same rates.
Dated: August 15, 2016.
Sandra Cashman,
Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The fees will apply to all passenger
cruise vessels for which inspections are
