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.

charged with (a) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the development of
guidelines under Executive Order
13179; (b) providing advice to the

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 To Be Considered: The agenda
for the Subcommittee meeting includes
the following dose reconstruction
program quality management and
assurance activities: Dose reconstruction
cases under review from Sets 14–23,
including the Oak Ridge sites (Y–12, K–
25, Oak Ridge National Laboratory),
Hanford, Feed Materials Production
Center (‘‘Fernald’’), Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory, Mound Plant,
Rocky Flats Plant, Nevada Test Site,
Idaho National Laboratory, Savannah
River Site, Brookhaven National
Laboratory, Westinghouse, W.R. Grace,
Uranium Mill in Monticello, Ventron
Corporation, Weldon Springs Plant, and
other Department of Energy and
‘‘Atomic Weapons Employer’’ facilities.
