Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


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, September 24, 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 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, 2017.
    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 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.
    Contact Person for More Information: Theodore Katz, Designated 
Federal Officer, NIOSH, CDC, 1600 Clifton Road, Mailstop E-20, 
Atlanta, Georgia 30333, Telephone (513) 533-6800, Toll Free 1 (800)

    The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, has been

to announcements of meetings and other committee management 
activities, for both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
