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, 
2019.
    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 to be Considered: The agenda will include discussions on: 
NIOSH Program Update; Department of Labor Program Update; Department of 
Energy Program Update; SEC Petitions Update; dose reconstruction review 
methods; review of methods for estimating co-worker radiation doses; 
possible discussions of Site Profile reviews for Weldon Spring Plant 
(Weldon Spring, Missouri) and Pacific Proving Grounds (Marshall 
Islands); the SEC petition for Savannah River Site (1973-2007; Aiken, 
South Carolina), and possibly one or more of the following SEC 
petitions: Idaho National Laboratory (1963-1970;

[[Page 49611]]

Scoville, Idaho), Area IV of Santa Susanna Field Laboratory (1991-1993; 
Ventura County, California), Ames Laboratory (1971--undetermined ending 
date; Ames, Iowa); and Board Work Sessions. 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.
