Request for Nominations of
Candidates To Serve on the Mine
Safety and Health Research Advisory
Committee (MSHRAC), National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services
The CDC is soliciting nominations for
possible membership on the Mine
Safety and Health Research Advisory
Committee (MSHRAC), National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH).
The MSHRAC consists of 13 experts
in fields related to mining safety and
health. The members are selected by the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
committee advises the NIOSH Director
on mining safety and health research
and prevention programs. The
committee also provides advice on
standards of scientific excellence,
current needs in the field of mining
safety and health, and the applicability
and dissemination of research findings.
This advice may take the form of reports
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703

or verbal communications to the NIOSH
Director during MSHRAC meetings.
Nominations are being sought for
individuals who have expertise and
qualifications necessary to contribute to
the accomplishment of the committee’s
mission.
Nominees will be selected based on
expertise in the field of mining safety
and health, such as mining engineering,
industrial hygiene, occupational safety
and health engineering, chemistry,
safety and health education,
ergonomics, epidemiology, statistics,
and psychology. Members may be
invited to serve for terms of up to four
years.
The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services policy stipulates that
Committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for the MSHRAC membership each year,
and provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection.
Candidates should submit the
following items:
• Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information (name,
affiliation, mailing address, telephone
number, email address)
• A letter of recommendation stating
the qualifications of the candidate.
Nomination materials must be
postmarked by April 30, 2017, and sent

Background: 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

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 Review Methods for
Future Reviews; SEC Petitions Update;
Site Profile reviews for Argonne East
(Naperville, Illinois), General Steel
Industries (Granite City, Illinois) and
Kansas City Plant (Kansas City,
Missouri); SEC petitions for:
Carborundum Company (1943–1976;
Niagara Falls, New York), Los Alamos
National Laboratory (1996–2005; Los
Alamos, New Mexico), Idaho National
Laboratory (1949–1970; Scoville, Idaho),
Rocky Flats Plant (1984–2005; Golden,
Colorado), Savannah Rivers Site (1973–
2007; Aiken, South Carolina); and Board
Work Sessions.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.

with the redaction policy provided
below.
Policy on Redaction of Board Meeting
Transcripts (Public Comment):
(1) If a person making a comment
gives his or her personal information, no
attempt will be made to redact the
name; however, NIOSH will redact
other personally identifiable
information, such as contact
information, social security numbers,
case numbers, etc., of the commenter.
(2) If an individual in making a
statement reveals personal information
(e.g., medical or employment
information) about themselves that
information will not usually be
redacted. The NIOSH Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) coordinator
will, however, review such revelations
in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act and if deemed
appropriate, will redact such
information.
(3) If a commenter reveals personal
information concerning a living third
party, that information will be reviewed
by the NIOSH FOIA coordinator, and
upon determination, if deemed
appropriated, such information will be
redacted, unless the disclosure is made
by the third party’s authorized
representative under the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA)
program.
(4) In general, information concerning
a deceased third party may be disclosed;
however, such information will be
redacted if (a) the disclosure is made by
an individual other than the survivor
claimant, a parent, spouse, or child, or
the authorized representative of the
deceased third party; (b) if it is unclear
whether the third party is living or
deceased; or (c) the information is
unrelated or irrelevant to the purpose of
the disclosure. The Board will take
reasonable steps to ensure that
individuals making public comment are
aware of the fact that their comments
(including their name, if provided) will
appear in a transcript of the meeting
posted on a public Web site. Such
reasonable steps include: (a) A
statement read at the start of each public
comment period stating that transcripts
will be posted and names of speakers
will not be redacted; (b) A printed copy
of the statement mentioned in (a) above
will be displayed on the table where
individuals sign up to make public
comments; (c) A statement such as
outlined in (a) above will also appear
with the agenda for a Board Meeting
when it is posted on the NIOSH Web
site; (d) A statement such as in (a) above
will appear in the Federal Register
