area of Area IV of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory from January 1, 
1959 through December 31, 1964, for a number of work days 
aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under 
this employment or in combination with work days within the 
parameters established for one or more other classes of employees 
included in the Special Exposure Cohort.

    This designation became effective on May 5, 2010, as provided for 
under 42 U.S.C. 7384l(14)(C). Hence, beginning on May 5, 2010, members 
of this class of employees, defined as reported in this notice, became
