class of employees as an addition to the SEC:

    All employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California from 
January 1, 1950 through December 31, 1973, 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 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 
members of the Special Exposure Cohort.
