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., EST, January 20, 2016.
    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 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, and will expire on August 3, 2017.
    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: Idaho National Laboratory SEC Petition; Work Group and 
Subcommittee Reports; SEC Petitions Update for the March 2016 Advisory 
Board Meeting; Plans for the March 2016 Advisory Board Meeting; and 
Advisory Board Correspondence.
    The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.
