ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As stipulated by the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services is hereby giving notice that the 

National Biodefense Science Board 

(NBSB) will be rescheduling its April

the Government in Sunshine Act, 5 

U.S.C. section 552b(c), to May 23, 2012. 

DATES: The April 30, 2012, NBSB closed 

session by teleconference is being 

rescheduled to May 23, 2012, from 

1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The agenda and time 

are subject to change as priorities 

dictate. 

ADDRESSES: The closed session will 

occur by teleconference and will not be 

open to the public as stipulated under 

exemption 9(B) of the Government in 

Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. section 552b(c). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

NBSB Mailbox, Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Preparedness and 

Response, U.S. Department of Health 

and Human Services; Email: 

NBSB@HHS.GOV. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 319M of the Public Health 

Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d–7f) and 

section 222 of the Public Health Service 

Act (42 U.S.C. 217a), the Department of 

Health and Human Services established 

the National Biodefense Science Board. 

The Board shall provide expert advice 

and guidance to the Secretary on 

scientific, technical, and other matters 

of special interest to the Department of 

Health and Human Services regarding 

current and future chemical, biological, 

nuclear, and radiological agents, 

whether naturally occurring, accidental, 

or deliberate. The Board may also 

provide advice and guidance to the 

Secretary and/or the Assistant Secretary 

for Preparedness and Response on other 

matters related to public health 

emergency preparedness and response. 

Background: The Board is being asked 

to review and evaluate the 2012 Public 

Health Emergency Medical 

Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE) 

Strategy and Implementation Plan (SIP). 

Until a final document is approved by 

the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), the 

development of PHEMCE SIP requires 

consideration and discussion of 

procurement-sensitive information that 

should not be released to the public 

prior to the Secretary’s final decision. 

Premature public disclosure of the draft 

PHEMCE SIP would limit the 

Secretary’s decision-making ability to 

effectively prioritize HHS expenditures 

on critical medical countermeasures. 

Therefore, the Board’s deliberations on 

the new task are being conducted in 

closed sessions in accordance with 

provisions set forth under exemption 

9(B) of the Government in Sunshine 

Act, 5 U.S.C. section 552b(c), and with 

approval by the Assistant Secretary for 

Preparedness and Response. 

Availability of Materials: All public 

materials will be posted on the NBSB 

Web site at www.phe.gov/nbsb. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

All written comments should be sent by 

email to NBSB@HHS.GOV with ‘‘NBSB 

Public Comment’’ as the subject line. 

Dated: April 13, 2012.
