Background: The Advisory Board was

President on a variety of policy and
technical functions required to
implement and effectively manage the

functions of the Advisory Board include
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines
which 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 the CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on
August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate
intervals, rechartered on March 22, 2016
pursuant to Executive Order 13708, and
will expire on September 30, 2017.
Purpose: This 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, advising 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.
Matters for Discussion: The agenda for
the Advisory Board meeting includes:
NIOSH Program Update; Department of
Labor Program Update; Department of
Energy Program Update; Dose
Reconstruction Report to the Secretary;
SEC Petitions Update; Site Profile
review for Hooker Electrochemical
(Niagara, New York); SEC petitions for:
Area IV of Santa Susana Field
Laboratory (1965–1988; Ventura County,
California), Carborundum Company
(1943–1976; Niagara Falls, New York),
Savannah River Site (1973–2007; Aiken,
South Carolina), and Los Alamos
National Laboratory (1996–2005; Los
Alamos, New Mexico); and Board Work
Sessions.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.

DATES: The period of support for this
supplement is September 30, 2016
through September 29, 2017.

Manager, Office of Child Support

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FY
2014, OCSE competitively awarded a
cooperative agreement to the
Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services to conduct a 5-year
evaluation of OCSE’s national
demonstration called Behavioral
Interventions for Child Support Services
(BICS).
This supplement will allow the
Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services to develop
additional dissemination tools such as
reports and web-based trainings on the
lessons learned and early findings from
the evaluation of Behavioral
Interventions for Child Support Services
Demonstration.
The cost of the BICS evaluation is
higher than originally budgeted because
the process mapping and project design
phase has been significantly slower than
anticipated for the grantees. This led to
the need for increased technical
assistance to the BICS grantees by the
evaluation grantee. Additionally, as a
result of the mapping and design phase,
OCSE anticipates an increased number
of interesting findings that will be of
benefit to the greater child support field.
The supplemental funds will allow
Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services to provide
increased technical assistance to the
BICS demonstration sites, and support
the development of additional
dissemination tools such as reports and
web-based trainings on the lessons
learned and early findings from the
Evaluation of BICS.
Specifically, the Washington State
Department of Social and Health
Services will explore the development
of innovative, user-friendly tools such
as podcasts and infographics that will
provide research findings and learning
to the child support community in a
way that is easily accessible to
interested program administrators and
policy officials. These tools will also
continue to build the evidence-base in
what works in the delivery of child
support services.
Statutory Authority: Section 1115 of the
Social Security Act authorizes funds for
experimental, pilot, or demonstration
