SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) gives notice

Chemical Company, Destrehan Street Plant, in Saint Louis, Missouri as

of employees as an addition to the SEC:

    Department of Energy (DOE) employees or DOE contractor or 
subcontractor employees who worked in the Uranium Division at the 
Destrehan Street Facility of Mallinckrodt Chemical Works from 1949 
to 1957 and who were employed for a number of work days aggregating 
at least 250 work days, either solely under this employment or in 
combination with work days of employment occurring within the 
parameters (excluding aggregate work day requirements) established 
for other classes of employees included in the SEC.

    This designation will become effective on November 13, 2005, unless 
Congress provides otherwise prior to the effective date. After this 
effective date, HHS will publish a notice in the Federal Register 
reporting the addition of this class to the SEC or the result of any 
provision by Congress regarding the decision by HHS to add the class to 
the SEC.
