occurring either solely under this employment or in combination with 
work days within the parameters established for one or more of the 
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.
