SUMMARY: HHS gives notice of a decision to designate a class of

of employees as an addition to the SEC:

All employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor agencies, 
and their contractors and subcontractors who worked at the Rocky 
Flats Plant in Golden, Colorado, from April 1, 1952, through 
December 31, 1983, 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.

    This designation will become effective on January 6, 2014, 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.
