SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services (``HHS'') gives 
notice of a decision to designate a class of employees at the 
Mallinckrodt Chemical Company, Destrehan Street Plant, in Saint Louis, 
Missouri as an addition to the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) under the 
Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. 
On April 11, 2005, the Secretary of HHS designated the following class 
of employees as an addition to the SEC:

    Employees of the Department of Energy (DOE) or DOE contractors 
or subcontractors employed by the Uranium Division of Mallinckrodt 
Chemical Works, Destrehan Street Facility, during the period from 
1942 through 1948 and whom 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 within the parameters 
(excluding aggregate work day requirements) established for other 
classes of employees included in the SEC.

    This designation will become effective on May 12, 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.
