Self-declarations are not excluded for these workers. The provisions for self-declarations are included in 10 CFR 26.211. Although 10 CFR 26.209 is titled as self-declarations, it includes provisions for self-declarations only during waivers and is appropriate to be excluded, as waivers are also excluded for individuals who report to the TSC and EOF.
