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,
rechartered under Executive Order
13811 on February 12, 2018, and will
terminate on September 30, 2020.
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 To Be Considered: The agenda
will include discussions on: Recording
April 2019 Meeting Absentee Votes;
Work Group and Subcommittee Reports;
Update on the Status of SEC Petitions;
Plans for the August 2019 Advisory
Board Meeting; and Advisory Board
Correspondence. Agenda items are
subject to change as priorities dictate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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

avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing
of financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for BSC, NCIPC membership each year,
and provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in September or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year. SGE Nominees must be
U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time
employees of the U.S. Government.
Candidates should submit the following
items:
D Cover letter stating area of expertise
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D At least one letter of recommendation
from person(s) not employed by the
U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. (Candidates may
submit letter(s) from current HHS
employees if they wish, but at least
one letter must be submitted by a
person not employed by an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA,
SAMHSA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
