SUMMARY: HHS gives notice of a decision to designate a class of

as an addition to the SEC:

    All employees of the Department of Energy (DOE), its predecessor 
agencies, and its contractors and subcontractors who had at least 
one tritium bioassay sample and worked at the Mound Plant in 
Miamisburg, Ohio from March 1, 1959 through March 5, 1980, 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 will become effective August 13, 2010, 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.
