SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

MEDCAC, formerly known as the 

Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee 

(MCAC), provides advice and 

recommendations to Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 

regarding clinical issues. (For more 

information on MCAC, see the 

December 14, 1998 Federal Register (63 

FR 68780)). This notice announces the 

Wednesday, April 30, 2014, public 

meeting of the Committee. During this 

meeting, the Committee will discuss the 

use of low dose computed tomography 

(LDCT) screening for lung cancer in 

adult smokers. 

Background information about this 

topic, including panel materials, is 

available at http://www.cms.gov/ 

medicare-coverage-database/indexes/ 

medcac-meetings-index.aspx?

bc=BAAAAAAAAAAA&. We will no 

longer be providing paper copies of the 

handouts for the meeting. Electronic 

copies of all the meeting materials will 

be on the CMS Web site no later than 

2 business days before the meeting. 

II. Meeting Format 

This meeting is open to the public. 

The Committee will hear oral 

presentations from the public for 

approximately 45 minutes. Time 

allotted for each presentation may be 

limited. If the number of registrants 

requesting to speak is greater than can 

be reasonably accommodated during the 

scheduled open public hearing session, 

we may conduct a lottery to determine 

the speakers for the scheduled open 

public hearing session. The contact 

person will notify interested persons 

regarding their request to speak by 

March 31, 2014. Your comments should 

focus on issues specific to the list of 

topics that we have proposed to the 

Committee. The list of research topics to 

be discussed at the meeting will be 

available on the following Web site 

prior to the meeting: http:// 

www.cms.gov/medicare-coveragedatabase/indexes/medcac-meetingsindex.aspx?bc=BAAAAAAAAAAA&. 

We require that you declare at the 

meeting whether you have any financial 

involvement with manufacturers (or 

their competitors) of any items or 

services being discussed. Speakers 

presenting at the MEDCAC meeting 

must include a full disclosure slide as 

their second slide in their presentation 

for financial interests (for example, type 

of financial association—consultant, 

research support, advisory board, and 

an indication of level, such as minor 

association <$10,000 or major 

association >$10,000) as well as 

intellectual conflicts of interest (for 

example, involvement in a federal or 

nonfederal advisory committee that has 

discussed the issue) that may pertain in 

any way to the subject of this meeting. 

If you are representing an organization, 

we require that you also disclose 

conflict of interest information for that 

organization. If you do not have a 

PowerPoint presentation, you will need 

to present the full disclosure 

information requested previously at the 

beginning of your statement to the 

Committee. 

The Committee will deliberate openly 

on the topics under consideration. 

Interested persons may observe the 

deliberations, but the Committee will 

not hear further comments during this 

time except at the request of the 

chairperson. The Committee will also 

allow a 15-minute unscheduled open 

public session for any attendee to 

address issues specific to the topics 

under consideration. At the conclusion 

of the day, the members will vote and 

the Committee will make its 

recommendation(s) to CMS. 

III. Registration Instructions 

CMS’ Coverage and Analysis Group is 

coordinating meeting registration. While 

there is no registration fee, individuals

government building; therefore, federal 

security measures are applicable. We

photographic identification to the 

Federal Protective Service or Guard

• Inspection of vehicle’s interior and 

exterior (this includes engine and trunk

vehicle inspection. 

• Inspection, via metal detector or 

other applicable means, of all persons 

entering the building. We note that all 

items brought into CMS, whether 

personal or for the purpose of 

presentation or to support a 

presentation, are subject to inspection. 

We cannot assume responsibility for 

coordinating the receipt, transfer, 

transport, storage, set-up, safety, or 

timely arrival of any personal 

belongings or items used for 

presentation or to support a 

presentation.

building and will be unable to attend the 

meeting. The public may not enter the 

building earlier than 45 minutes prior to the
