area of the Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University during the

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 classes of employees 
included in the Special Exposure Cohort.

    This designation became effective on November 17, 2011, as provided 
for under 42 U.S.C. 7384l(14)(C). Hence, beginning on November 17,
