best address those issues. The original authorities of NCVHS are 
described at 42 U.S.C. 242k. Additional authorities were added by the 
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA, 
Pub. L. 104-191, 110 Stat. 1936, Aug. 21, 1996), under which NCVHS 
advises the Secretary on administrative simplification standards, 
including those for privacy, security, adoption and implementation of 
transaction standards, unique identifiers, code sets, and operating 
rules adopted under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
(ACA, Pub. L. 111-148, 124 Stat. 119, Mar. 23, 2010). Included in HIPAA 
is the statutory reporting requirement that the Committee submit to 
Congress and make public, a report regarding the implementation of part 
C of title XI of the Social Security Act.
    Purpose: Topics on the meeting agenda will include updates from the 
Department and the ICD-11 Workgroup. The Subcommittee on Privacy, 
Confidentiality, and Security will continue its inquiry into and 
discussion of Privacy and Security in Health Data Access. The 
Subcommittee on Standards will report on its current and future 
activities. The Committee will reserve time on the agenda for public 
comment. Meeting times and topics are subject to change. Please refer
