SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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: 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 To Be Considered: The agenda for the Subcommittee meeting 
includes the following dose reconstruction program quality management 
and assurance activities: Dose reconstruction cases under review from 
Sets 14-23, including the Oak Ridge sites (Y-12, K-25, Oak Ridge 
National Laboratory), Hanford, Feed Materials Production Center 
(``Fernald''), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Mound Plant, 
Rocky Flats Plant, Nevada Test Site, Idaho National Laboratory, 
Savannah River Site, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Westinghouse, W.R. 
Grace, Uranium Mill in Monticello, Ventron Corporation, Weldon Springs 
Plant, and other Department of Energy and ``Atomic Weapons Employer'' 
facilities. The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.
    The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, has been 
delegated the authority to sign Federal Register notices pertaining 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.
