SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) gives notice
of a decision to designate a class of employees at the Rocky Flats
Plant, Golden, Colorado, as an addition to the Special Exposure Cohort
(SEC) under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000. On August 6, 2007, the Secretary of HHS designated
the following class of employees as an addition to the SEC:
Employees of the Department of Energy (DOE), its predecessor
agencies, or DOE contractors or subcontractors who were monitored or
should have been monitored for neutron exposures while working at
the Rocky Flats Plant in Golden, Colorado, for a number of work days
aggregating at least 250 work days from April 1, 1952, through
December 31, 1958, or in combination with work days within the
parameters established for one or more other classes of employees in
the Special Exposure Cohort.
This designation will become effective on September 5, 2007, 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.
