In Memoriam: Robert W. Presley
|
Robert "Bob" Winton Presley, a member of the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health since its inception in 2001, passed away on September 21, 2011, at his home after a brief illness with cancer. He was a prized member of the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board benefitted from Bob's broad expertise in nuclear weapons operations, his compassion for his fellow nuclear weapons workers, and his faultless integrity. Bob worked for the U.S. nuclear weapons complex for more than four decades and epitomized the commitment and pride of this workforce in contributing to the protection of Americans and peoples around the World. He was also the kindest of men and dedicated to his family and community. His fellow Advisory Board Members and members of NIOSH and SC&A staff will miss him and commend his memory to the public we serve. |

Advisory Board Charter
Authority
The Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health was established under Executive Order 13179, dated December 7, 2000, and Public Law 106-398, Section
3624(a)(1). The Board is governed by the provisions of Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), which sets forth standards for the formation
and use of advisory committees.
Objective and Scope of Activities
The President is authorized by Public Law 106-398 to carry out the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. Since World War II, many men and women have served in building the Nation's nuclear defense and, in the course of this work, have been exposed to beryllium, ionizing radiation, and other hazards unique to nuclear weapons production and testing. The purpose of the compensation program is to provide for timely, uniform, and adequate compensation of covered employees and, where applicable, survivors of such employees, suffering from illnesses incurred by such employees in the performance of duty for the Department of Energy (DOE) and certain of its contractors and subcontractors.
The Secretaries of Energy, Health and Human Services, and Labor share responsibilities for administering the compensation program. Section 3624 of Public
Law 106-398 authorizes the President to establish and appoint an Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health, and by Executive Order 13179, the President
has designated responsibility for the Board to the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Description of Duties
Section 4(b) of Executive Order 13179 establishes that the Board shall provide advice to the Secretary, HHS on (1) the development of guidelines to
assess the likelihood that an individual with cancer sustained the cancer in the performance of duty at a Department of Energy facility or an Atomic
Weapons Employer (AWE) facility, and methods for arriving at and providing reasonable estimates of the radiation doses received by individuals applying for
assistance under this program for whom there are inadequate records of radiation exposure; (2) the scientific validity and quality of dose reconstruction
efforts performed for this Program; and (3) upon request by the Secretary, whether there is a class of employees at any DOE or AWE 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 the class.
Agency or Official to Whom the Board Reports
The Board shall provide advice to the Secretary, HHS on the development of guidelines under section 4(b) of Executive Order 13179.
Support
The Department of Health and Human Services shall provide administrative services, funds, facilities, staff, and other necessary support services, and
perform the administrative functions of the President under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), with respect to the Board.
Estimated Annual Operating Costs and Staff Years
Estimated annual cost for operating the Board, including compensation and travel expenses for members, but excluding staff support, is $867,785. Estimate
of annual person-years of staff support required is 4.15, at an estimated annual cost of $767,785.
Designated Federal Officer
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will select a full-time or permanent part-time Federal employee to serve as the Designated Federal
Officer (DFO) to attend each Board meeting and ensure that all procedures are within applicable statutory, regulatory, and HHS General Administration
Manual directives. The DFO will approve and prepare all meeting agendas, call all of the Board and subcommittee meetings, adjourn any meeting when the
DFO determines adjournment to be in the public interest, and chair meetings when directed to do so by the official to whom the Board reports. The DFO
or his/her designee shall be present at all meetings of the full Board and subcommittees.
Estimated Number and Frequency of Meetings
The frequency of meetings shall be determined by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC,
based on agency needs at the call of the DFO, in consultation with the Chair.
Meetings shall be open to the public except as determined otherwise by the Secretary, HHS, or other official to whom the authority has been delegated;
in accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)) and Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act; notice of all meetings
shall be given to the public.
Duration
Continuing
Termination Date
Unless renewed by appropriate action prior to its expiration, the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health will terminate two years from the date
this charter is filed.
Membership and Designation
The Board shall consist of not more than 20 public members to be appointed by the President. In accordance with EEOICPA, 42 U.S.C. § 7384o(a)(2)and
(3), the President shall make appointments to the Board in consultation with organizations with expertise on worker health issues in order to ensure
that the membership of the Board reflects a balance of scientific, medical, and worker perspectives. The President shall designate a Chair for the Board
from among its members.
Subcommittees
Subcommittees composed of members of the parent committee may be established with the approval of the Secretary, HHS or his/her designee. The subcommittees
must report back to the parent committee and do not provide advice or work products directly to the agency. The Department Committee Management Officer
will be notified upon establishment of each subcommittee and will be provided information on its name, membership, functions, and estimated frequency
of meetings.
Recordkeeping
The records of the Board, established subcommittees of the Board, shall be managed in accordance with General Records Schedule 26, Item 2 or other approved agency records disposition schedule. These records shall be available for public inspection and copying, subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.

This Work Group has two primary responsibilities: 1) To serve as a review body for SEC petitions that result from NIOSH determining that it is unable to reconstruct dose for one or more individuals at a given site (83.14 SEC petition process);
2) To consider potential conditions under which significant personnel exposures might occur (in addition to criticality accidents) in short periods of time (less than 250 days) resulting in health effects. In the case of specific 83.14 petitions, the Work Group may make a recommendation to the Board either in support of the NIOSH recommendation to add a class to the SEC, or in opposition to such. In the case of the 250 day issue, the
Work Group should strive to develop a position paper that can be adopted by the Board. In addition, this Work Group is also responsible for reviewing the Dow-Madison SEC petition and related documents, and developing a recommendation for the Board.

- Use of Surrogate Data Work Group
This Work Group will consider the conditions under which "surrogate" data can be used as a valid substitute for actual data for a given site.
The Work Group will seek to establish the type and importance of various parameters (e.g., type of nuclide, amounts of material, chemical and physical
forms, processes, working conditions, and other such parameters) that impact on worker dose, and will consider the extent to which such parameters at one
site may apply to other sites. The Work Group may also consider the extent to which theoretical considerations can be properly used to bound dosed in the
absence of actual workplace measurements. The Work Group should strive to develop a policy recommendation that can be adopted by the Board regarding the
use of surrogate data. This Work Group was asked to consider the application of surrogate data criteria to the Texas City Chemicals, Inc., site in relation

2012 Advisory Board Meetings (includes agendas, minutes, and transcripts)
The Advisory Board must adhere to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). FACA ensures that advice rendered by the Advisory Board be both objective and accessible to the public. In addition, FACA requires that notices for committee meetings are published with adequate advance notice in the Federal Register. The Advisory Board has established both subcommittees and work groups. While FACA does not require a notice to be published in the Federal Register for work group meetings, we will make every attempt to provide advanced notice of work group meetings held by the Advisory Board.
Locations, times, telephone conference access information, agendas, minutes, and transcripts for the Advisory Board meetings are included in this section.
