Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (ABRWH or the 
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), and pursuant to the requirements of 42 
CFR 83.15(a), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 
announces the following meeting of the aforementioned committee:

    Time and Date: 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, June 9, 2015.
    Place: Audio Conference Call via FTS Conferencing. The USA toll-
free, dial-in number is 1-866-659-0537 and the pass code is 9933701.
    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 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, 
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 charter was issued on August 3, 
2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, most recently, August 3, 
2013, and will expire on August 3, 2015.
    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 for Discussion: The agenda for the conference call 
includes: NIOSH evaluation of SEC Petition for Westinghouse Electric 
Corp. facility in Bloomfield, New Jersey (January 1, 1950-March 1, 
2011); Work Group and Subcommittee Reports; SEC Petitions Update for 
the July 2015 Advisory Board Meeting; Plans for the July 2015 
Advisory Board Meeting; and Advisory Board Correspondence.
    The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.
