If you have new evidence which refutes the FAB\u2019s findings, you may request a reopening of the claim.&nbsp; For example, if FAB denied the claim because covered employment under the EEOICPA was not established and you have new evidence of covered employment or exposure to a toxic substance, you may request a reopening of the claim.&nbsp; If FAB denied the claim because cancer was not causally-related to the work-related exposure to radiation, and you can identify either a change in the probability of causation guidelines, a change in the dose reconstruction method, or an addition of a class of employees to the Special Exposure Cohort, you may request a reopening of the claim.&nbsp; Requests to reopen the claim must be in writing and sent, along with supporting information, to the DOL DEEOIC Central Mail Room, PO Box 8306, London, Kentucky 40742-8306. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A FAB final decision may also be appealed to federal court.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item level_0'><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_title'><i class='fas fa-chevron-right' aria-hidden='true'><\/i><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Radiological Services: Become a Trusted Radiological Service Provider<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_body'>\n\n\n\n<div class='nmenv_accordion_item level_1'><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_title'><i class='fas fa-chevron-right' aria-hidden='true'><\/i><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I find the application form to provide radiological services?<\/h3><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_body'>\n\n\n\n<p>Please visit the <a href=\"\/rcb\/radiation-safety-related-services\/\">Radiation Safety Related Services<\/a> page on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item level_1'><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_title'><i class='fas fa-chevron-right' aria-hidden='true'><\/i><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who needs to apply to provide radiological services?<\/h3><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_body'>\n\n\n\n<p>Anybody who provides radiation-related services in the state of New Mexico must register with the Bureau prior to providing radiological services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item level_1'><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_title'><i class='fas fa-chevron-right' aria-hidden='true'><\/i><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What categories of radiological service providers are there?<\/h3><\/div><div class='nmenv_accordion_item_body'>\n\n\n\n<p>Our most common radiological service providers are X-Ray Machine Installation, Servicing, &amp;
