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 SEC.

    This designation became effective on May 29, 2011, as provided for 
under 42 U.S.C. 7384l(14)(C). Hence, beginning on May 29, 2011, members 
of this class of employees, defined as reported in this notice, became 
members of the Special Exposure Cohort.
