Advisory Board Charter Renewal

AGENCY: Office of Workers' Compensation Programs

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 
2015, Executive Order 13699 (June 26, 2015), and the provisions of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and 
its implementing regulations issued by the General Services 
Administration (GSA), the Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker 
Health was established on July 2, 2015. Pursuant to FACA, Section 
14(b)(2), the Secretary of Labor has renewed the Charter for two years.
    The Charter renewal allows the Advisory Board on Toxic Substances 
and Worker Health (Board) to continue its operations. The Board advises 
the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) with respect to: (1) The Site 
Exposure Matrices (SEM) of the Department of Labor; (2) medical 
guidance for claims examiners for claims with the EEOICPA program, with 
respect to the weighing of the medical evidence of claimants; (3) 
evidentiary requirements for claims under Part B of EEOICPA related to 
lung disease; and (4) the work of industrial hygienists and staff 
physicians and consulting physicians of the Department of Labor and 
reports of such hygienists and physicians to ensure quality, 
objectivity, and consistency. The Board, when necessary, coordinates 
exchanges of data and findings with the Department of Health and Human 
Services' Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health.
    Membership of the Board currently consists of 15 members appointed 
by the Secretary, who also appointed a Chair. Public Law 106-398, 
Section 3687(a)(3). Pursuant to Section 3687(a)(2), membership is 
balanced and includes members from the scientific, medical and claimant 
communities. The members serve two-year terms. At the discretion of the 
Secretary, members may be appointed to successive terms or

    The Board reports to the Secretary of Labor. As specified in 
Section 3687(i), the Board shall terminate five (5) years after the 
date of the enactment of the NDAA, which was December 19, 2014. Thus, 
the Board shall terminate on December 19, 2019.
