Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker Health Charter 
Amendment.

AGENCY: Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Labor.

ACTION: Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker Health for Part E 
of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act 
(EEOICPA); Notice of Charter Amendment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 3687 of Public Law 106-398, which 
was added by section 3141(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
(NDAA) of 2015, Executive Order 13699 (June 26, 2015), and the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and its implementing 
regulations issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), the 
Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker Health was established on 
July 2, 2015. A Charter and Membership Balance Plan were filed in 
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).
    The new provision added to EEOICPA by the NDAA specifies that the 
Director of the Advisory Board's staff must be a member of the Senior 
Executive Service (SES). This individual will also perform the duties 
of the Designated Federal Officer (DFO). The original Charter for the 
Advisory Board specified that the DFO would be the Office of Workers' 
Compensation Programs (OWCP) Comptroller, a member of the SES. OWCP now 
amends the Charter to specify that the DFO is a member of the SES from 
OWCP, but not the Program Director of the EEOICPA program. The amended 
Charter has been filed in accordance with FACA.
