| 2020-02705 | Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program: B Reader Decertification and Autopsy Payment | Proposed Rule | HHS proposes to revise the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (Program) regulations by adding a provision to allow NIOSH to suspend or revoke B Reader certification. Certification may be revoked for any B Reader found by NIOSH to have engaged in a pattern of providing unreasonably inaccurate chest radiograph classifications in practice-- those that are found by the Program to diverge substantially from a competent interpretation of the radiographs, as determined by a panel of practicing, certified B Readers selected by NIOSH. In addition to the B Reader provisions, HHS would also amend existing regulatory text to allow compensation for pathologists who perform autopsies on coal miners at a market rate, on a discretionary basis as needed for public health purposes. | 2020-02-14 | 2020 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/02/14/2020-02705/coal-workers-health-surveillance-program-b-reader-decertification-and-autopsy-payment | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-02-14/pdf/2020-02705.pdf | Health and Human Services Department | 221 | HHS proposes to revise the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (Program) regulations by adding a provision to allow NIOSH to suspend or revoke B Reader certification.
