**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 must register to attend. You may register
online at http://www.cms.gov/apps/ events/upcomingevents.asp ?strOrderBy=1&type=3 or by phone by contacting the person listed in the **FOR**
