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 that
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 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, 2022, and will
terminate on March 22, 2024.
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, advise the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at
any Department of Energy facility who
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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. SPR
is responsible for overseeing, tracking,
and participating in the reviews of all
procedures used in the dose
reconstruction process by the NIOSH
Division of Compensation Analysis and
Support (DCAS) and its dose
reconstruction contractor (Oak Ridge
Associated Universities—ORAU).
Matters To Be Considered: The agenda
will include discussions on the
following: (a) ORAUT–OTIB–0052,
DCAS–PER–049, DCAS–PER–092, Peek
Street; DCAS–PER–073 (Birdsboro),
Battelle-TBD–5000, and example of a
‘‘not suitable closeout for matrix’’
presentation, (b) Newly issued Sandford
Cohen & Associates reviews, (c)
Preparation for August 2023 full
ABRWH meeting, and (d) Newly issued
Guidance Documents and Supplemental
Topics. Agenda items are subject to
change as priorities dictate. For
