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 August 13, 2010, as provided for 
under 42 U.S.C. 7384l(14)(C). Hence, beginning on August 13, 2010, 
members of this class of employees, defined as reported in this notice,
