SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health (ABRWH
or 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. 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
14109 on March 22, 2022, and will
terminate on March 22, 2024.

the health of members of this class. The
ABWRH Subcommittee on Procedure
Reviews (SPR) is responsible for
