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 became effective on September 5, 2007, as provided for 
under 42 U.S.C. 7384l(14)(C). Hence, beginning on September 5, 2007, 
members of this class of employees, defined as reported in this notice, 
became members of the Special Exposure Cohort.
