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 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, rechartered on March 22, 2016,

[[Page 45853]]

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. SPR was 
established to aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its duty to 
advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose reconstruction. SPR is responsible 
for overseeing, tracking, and participating in the reviews of all 
procedures used in the dose reconstruction process by the NIOSH 
Division of Compensation Analysis and Support (DCAS) and its dose 
reconstruction contractor (Oak Ridge Associated Universities--ORAU).
    Matters to be Considered: The agenda will include discussions on 
the following dose reconstruction procedures: DCAS Program Evaluation 
Report 59 (addressing dose reconstructions at the Norton Company, 
Worcester MA); DCAS Report 5: Alternative Dissolution Models for 
Insoluble Plutonium 238; Outstanding Findings of Prior Subcommittee 
Reviews; and DCAS Procedures Not Yet Reviewed. Agenda items are 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.
