Does the Advisory Board make a recommendation on the SEC petition immediately after NIOSH presents the evaluation report at the Board meeting?
Not always. After an SEC Petition Evaluation Report is presented to the Advisory Board, the Board may form a Work Group to review the report or task the technical contractor assisting the board (Sanford Cohen & Associates-SC&A) to perform a review of the report before making a recommendation. If the Advisory Board tasks SC&A to conduct an independent review of the report, the Board’s Work Group will review SC&A’s findings and discuss any technical issues that have been identified. The Advisory Board will make a recommendation on the SEC petition after all identified issues have been evaluated.
