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

which have been promulgated by the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
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,
and rechartered under Executive Order
13889 on March 22, 2020, and will
terminate on March 22, 2022.
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: Savannah
River Site; Work Group and
Subcommittee Reports; Update on the
Status of SEC Petitions; and plans for
the April 2021 Advisory Board Meeting.
Agenda items are subject to change as
priorities dictate.
The Director, Strategic Business
Initiatives Unit, Office of the Chief
Operating Officer, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, has been
delegated the authority to sign Federal
Register notices pertaining to
announcements of meetings and other
