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 Advisory Board’s charter was
issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at
appropriate intervals, rechartered on
March 22, 2020, and will terminate on
March 22, 2022.
Purpose: The 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: Work
Group and Subcommittee Reports;
Update on the Status of SEC Petitions;
and plans for the April 2022 Advisory
Board meeting. Agenda items are subject
to change as priorities dictate.
The Director, Strategic Business

Description: States, the District of
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico are required by the LowIncome Energy Assistance Act of 1981
(42 U.S.C. 8624, Sec 2610) to report
statistics for the previous federal fiscal
year (FFY) on the following:
• Assisted and applicant households,
by type of LIHEAP assistance and
funding source;
• Assisted households receiving
nominal payments of $50 or less, by
funding source;
• Assisted households receiving only
utility payment assistance, by funding
source; this information will
automatically be transferred to the grant
recipient’s Performance Data Form;
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance or
funding source, excluding households
that only receive nominal payments of
$50 or less;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance and funding source,
having at least one vulnerable member
who is at least 60 years or older,
disabled, or 5 years old or younger;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance and funding source,
with at least one member age 2 years or
under;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance and funding source,
with at least one member ages 3 years
through 5 years; and
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance or
funding source, having at least one
member 60 years or older, disabled, or
5 years old or younger.
Indian tribal grant recipients are
required to submit data only on the
number of households, by funding
source, receiving heating, cooling,
energy crisis, and/or weatherization
benefits.
In FFY 2020, OCS updated the form
to allow for the reporting of households
served by separate LIHEAP funding
types and benefits provided by the
following: (1) Funds from regular
LIHEAP FFY appropriations acts,
including any Continuing Resolutions
and final appropriations acts, reallotted
prior year funds, and federal LIHEAP
funds carried-over to or expended in the
current year; (2) supplemental funds
from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (the CARES Act)
(Pub. L. 116–136); and (3) funds from
any subsequent supplemental LIHEAP
appropriations acts. ACF proposes
similar changes to the report for FFY
2022, including the addition of lines
that allow for the reporting of
households served by LIHEAP funds
from the American Rescue Plan Act of
2021 (Pub. L. 117–2). OCS has also
