Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs)
NIOSH is committed to applying the best available science in dose reconstructions. In keeping with this
commitment, completed cases with probabilities of causation less than 50% are reviewed as relevant new
information becomes available. The results of these reviews are described in a Program Evaluation Report (PER).
The PER details the effect, if any, of the new information on the completed dose reconstruction. If it appears
that the new information may result in an increase in dose for a completed dose reconstruction with a probability
of causation of less than 50%, NIOSH is committed to working with the Department of Labor to reopen and rework
the dose reconstruction, as appropriate. A Program Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes plans for evaluating specific
program details or issues.
At the current time, no PERs specific to Baker-Perkins Co. have been developed. However, we have
developed PERs and PEPs that pertain to multiple sites. To view all PERs and PEPs that have been developed,
please refer to the Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs) page.

Worker Outreach Activities
Based on a recommendation from the Advisory Board to provide workers and site experts with opportunities to
participate in developing the technical documents used in dose reconstruction, NIOSH established a Worker Outreach
Program.
At Worker Outreach Meetings, current and former DOE and AWE employees have opportunities to obtain information
about Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins, and to provide information for
consideration and possible use in dose reconstruction. This process is valuable to ensure that the technical documents
used in dose reconstruction contain correct and useful information.
Below are the Worker Outreach Activities for Baker-Perkins Co.:
At the current time, worker outreach activities have not been scheduled.

Advisory Board's Work Group on Uranium Refining Atomic Weapons Employers (AWEs)
(This Work Group was formerly known as the Advisory Board's Work Group on TBD 6001)
This Work Group is responsible for the review of TBDs and SEC petitions for uranium refining
AWEs as assigned to it by the Board. It will also review any reports developed by the Board's
contractor (SC&A) pertaining to these TBDs and SEC petitions, and will assist NIOSH and SC&A
in resolving issues that arise through the review process. The Work Group will make
recommendations to the Board regarding such SEC petitions. Sites currently being considered
by the Work Group include Baker-Perkins Co., Du Pont Deepwater Works, Electro Metallurgical,
Hooker Electrochemical, and United Nuclear Corp.

Discussion Paper:
Please note that as part of the procedures and processes of the Advisory Board's Work Groups, several kinds of pre-decisional documents may be developed. These documents, which can include white papers, matrices, working drafts, etc., are distributed among the Work Group members as research and background tools to facilitate discussion and deliberation. The discussions during the above meeting may cover a pre-decisional document. Because these types of documents are pre-decisional in nature, may contain sensitive information, and may change over time, they are not posted on our Web site. These finalized, reviewed and redacted pre-decisional documents are also available to other interested parties through an appropriate Freedom of Information Act request. Requests for documents not in the public domain should be submitted to the CDC/ATSDR Freedom of Information Act Office at foiarequests@cdc.gov.
