Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction Reviews (SDRR), 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), the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC), announces the following meeting for the 
aforementioned subcommittee:

TIME AND DATE: 10:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EDT, June 24, 2015

PLACE: Audio Conference Call via FTS Conferencing.

STATUS: Open to the public, but without a public comment period. 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 at 1-866-659-0537 
and the pass code 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 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 Advisory Board is charged with (a) providing advice to the 
Secretary, HHS, on the development of guidelines under E.O. 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 
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. The Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction Reviews was 
established to aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its duty to 
advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose reconstruction.

MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION: The agenda for the Subcommittee meeting 
includes the following dose reconstruction program quality management 
and assurance activities: Current findings from NIOSH and Advisory 
Board dose reconstruction blind reviews; dose reconstruction cases 
under review from Sets 14-18, including the Oak Ridge sites (Y-12, K-
25, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Savannah River Site; preparation 
of the Advisory Board's next report to the

Secretary, HHS, summarizing the results of completed dose 
reconstruction reviews.
    The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.
