Designation of a Class of Employees for Addition to the Special 
Exposure Cohort; Correction

AGENCY: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and 
Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: HHS published a notice in the Federal Register (Volume 77, 
Number 130, Page 40059) on July 6, 2012 to give notice of a decision to 
designate a class of employees from the Feed Materials Production 
Center (FMPC) in Fernald, Ohio, also known as the Fernald Environmental 
Management Project (FEMP), as an addition to the Special Exposure 
Cohort (SEC) under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness 
Compensation Program Act of 2000. The designation was incorrect. 
Therefore, HHS has published this notice of correction. On June 27, 
2012, the Secretary of HHS designated the following class of employees 
as an addition to the SEC:

    All employees of DOE, its predecessor agencies, and their 
contractors, or subcontractors who worked at the Feed Materials 
Production Center (FMPC) in Fernald, Ohio, from January 1, 1968 
through December 31, 1978, 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 included in the Special 
Exposure Cohort.

    The designation published in this notice of correction will become 
effective on July 27, 2012, 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.
