SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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,

13811 on February 12, 2018, and will
terminate on September 30, 2020.

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.
