Purpose: The Secretary’s Advisory

Newborns and Children (the Advisory 

Committee), as authorized by Public Law 

106–310, which added section 1111 of the 

Public Health Service Act, codified at 42 

U.S.C. 300b–10, was established by Congress 

to advise the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services in connection 

with the development of newborn screening 

activities, technologies, policies, guidelines 

and programs for effectively reducing 

morbidity and mortality in newborns and 

children having (or at risk for) heritable 

disorders. The Advisory Committee’s 

recommendations regarding additional 

conditions/inherited disorders for screening 

that are adopted by the Secretary are 

included in the Recommended Uniform 

Screening Panel (RUSP), which forms a part 

of the comprehensive guidelines supported 

by the Health Resources and Services 

Administration. Pursuant to section 2713 of 

the Public Health Service Act, codified at 42 

U.S.C. 300gg–13, non-grandfathered health 

plans are required to cover screenings 

provided for in the comprehensive guidelines 

without charging a co-payment, co-insurance, 

or deductible for plan years (in the 

individual market these are known as policy 

years) beginning on or after the date that is 

one year from the Secretary’s adoption of the 

screening. The Advisory Committee also 

provides advice and recommendations 

concerning grants and projects authorized 

under section 1109 of the Public Health 

Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300b–8). 

Agenda: The meeting will include: (1) 

Updates on the policies and procedures of 

the Advisory Committee; (2) presentation on 

the newborn screening case definitions 

project; (3) discussion and prioritization of 

plans and projects for the standing 

subcommittees; (4) updates from the 

Nomination and Prioritization Workgroup 

and the Condition Review Workgroup; (5) 

reports on medical foods, medical home and 

carrier screening; and (6) presentations on 

the continued work and reports of the 

Advisory Committee’s subcommittees: 

Laboratory Standards and Procedures; 

Follow-up and Treatment; and Education and 

Training. Tentatively, the Advisory 

Committee is expected to review and/or vote 

on the following items (none of which 

involve proposed addition of conditions to 

the RUSP): (1) Priorities for the 

subcommittees; (2) whether to refer the MPS 

I condition nomination package and the 

Pompe condition nomination package to the 

Condition Review Workgroup for further 

evaluation; (3) Condition Review Process 

Report; (3) Medical Home Manuscript; (4) 

Medical Foods Manuscript; and (5) NBS 

Awareness Campaign Strategy Report.
