    Live Meeting Connection: https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/cdc/join?id=Z9K2DF&role=attend&pw=ABRWH; Meeting ID: Z9K2DF; Entry Code: 
ABRWH.
    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, rechartered on March 22, 2016 
pursuant to Executive Order 13708, and will expire on September 30, 
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 Advisory Board meeting 
includes: NIOSH Program Update; Department of Labor Program Update; 
Department of Energy Program Update; Dose Reconstruction Report to the 
Secretary; SEC Petitions Update; Site Profile review for Hooker 
Electrochemical (Niagara, New York); SEC petitions for: Area IV of 
Santa Susana Field Laboratory (1965-1988; Ventura County, California), 
Carborundum Company (1943-1976; Niagara Falls, New York), Savannah 
River Site (1973-2007; Aiken, South Carolina), and Los Alamos National 
Laboratory (1996-2005; Los Alamos, New Mexico); and Board Work 
Sessions.
    The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.
    In the event an individual cannot attend, written comments may be 
submitted to the contact person below well in advance of the meeting. 
Any written comments received will be provided at the meeting in 
accordance with the redaction policy provided below.
    Policy on Redaction of Board Meeting Transcripts (Public Comment):
    (1) If a person making a comment gives his or her personal 
information, no attempt will be made to redact the name; however, NIOSH 
will redact other personally identifiable information, such as contact 
information, social security numbers, case numbers, etc., of the 
commenter.
    (2) If an individual in making a statement reveals personal 
information (e.g., medical or employment information) about themselves 
that information will not usually be redacted. The NIOSH Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) coordinator will, however, review such 
revelations in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act and 
if deemed appropriate, will redact such information.
    (3) If a commenter reveals personal information concerning a living 
third party, that information will be reviewed by the NIOSH FOIA 
coordinator, and upon determination, if deemed appropriated, such 
information will be redacted, unless the disclosure is made by the 
third party's authorized representative under the Energy Employees 
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) program.
    (4) In general, information concerning a deceased third party may 
be disclosed; however, such information will be redacted if (a) the 
disclosure is made by an individual other than the survivor claimant, a 
parent, spouse, or child, or the authorized representative of the 
deceased third party; (b) if it is unclear whether the third party is 
living or deceased; or (c) the information is unrelated or irrelevant 
to the purpose of the disclosure.
    The Board will take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals 
making public comment are aware of the fact that their comments 
(including their name, if provided) will appear in a transcript of the 
meeting posted on a public Web site. Such reasonable steps include: (a) 
A statement read at the start of each public comment period stating 
that transcripts will be posted and names of speakers will not be 
redacted; (b) A printed copy of the statement mentioned in (a) above 
will be displayed on the table where individuals sign up to make public
