DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


Subcommittee on Procedures Review, Advisory Board on Radiation 
and Worker Health (ABRWH or Advisory Board), National Institute for 
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

    In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) announces the following meeting for the aforementioned 
subcommittee:
    Time and Date: 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, April 
28, 2015.
    Place: Audio Conference Call via FTS Conferencing.
    Status: Open to the public. The public is welcome to submit written 
comments in advance of the meeting, to the contact person below. 
Written comments received in advance of the meeting will be included in 
the official record of the meeting. The public is also welcome to 
listen to the meeting by joining the teleconference at the USA toll-
free, dial-in number, 1-866-659-0537 and the passcode is 9933701.
    Background: The ABRWH 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 compensation program. Key 
functions of the ABRWH 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 will expire on August 3, 2015.
    Purpose: The ABRWH 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, providing advice 
to 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 a reasonable likelihood that such radiation doses may 
have endangered the health of members of this class. The Subcommittee 
on Procedures Review was established to aid the ABRWH in carrying out 
its duty to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose reconstructions. The 
Subcommittee on Procedures Review 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 for Discussion: The agenda for the Subcommittee meeting 
includes: discussion of procedures in the following ORAU and DCAS 
technical documents: Procedures for reconstructing dose associated with 
potential skin contamination, ORAU Team Technical Information Bulletin 
(OTIB) 0034 (``Internal Dose Coworker Data for X-10''), OTIB 0054 
(``Fission and Activation Product Assignment for Internal Dose-Related 
Gross Beta and Gross Gamma Analyses''), OTIB 0082 (``Dose 
Reconstruction Method for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia''), Update on 
Review of ORAU Team Report 0053 (``Stratified Co-Worker Sets''); and a 
continuation of the comment-resolution process for other dose 
reconstruction procedures under review by the Subcommittee.
    The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.
