Tennessee, from August 1, 1949, through December 31, 1967, 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 became effective on September 22, 2012, as provided 
for under 42 U.S.C. 7384l(14)(C). Hence, beginning on September 22, 
2012, members of this class of employees, defined as reported in this
