Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2022 / Notices 11449 

ensure adequate representation of those 

enrolled in the Medicare program 

including but not limited to, racial and 

ethnic groups, individuals with 

disabilities, and from across the gender 

spectrum. Therefore, we encourage 

nominations of qualified candidates 

who can represent these lived 

experiences. 

The MEDCAC consists of a pool of 

100 appointed members including: 90 

at-large standing members (10 of whom 

are patient advocates), and 10 

representatives of industry interests. 

Members generally are recognized 

authorities in clinical medicine 

including subspecialties, administrative 

medicine, public health, biological and 

physical sciences, epidemiology and 

biostatistics, clinical trial design, health 

care data management and analysis, 

patient advocacy, health care 

economics, health disparities, medical 

ethics, those with an understanding of 

sociodemographic bias and resulting 

limitations of scientific evidence, or 

other relevant professions. 

The MEDCAC works from an agenda 

provided by the Designated Federal 

Official. The MEDCAC reviews and 

evaluates medical literature and 

technology assessments, and hears 

public testimony on the evidence 

available to address the impact of 

medical items and services on health 

outcomes of Medicare beneficiaries. The 

MEDCAC may also advise the Centers 

for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 

as part of Medicare’s ‘‘coverage with 

evidence development’’ initiative. 

II. Provisions of the Notice 

As of June 2022, there will be 23 

membership terms expiring. Of the 23 

memberships expiring, 3 are patient 

advocates and the remaining 20 

membership openings are for the atlarge standing MEDCAC membership. 

All nominations must be 

accompanied by curricula vitae. 

Nomination packages should be sent to 

Ruth McKesson at the address listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

Nominees are selected based upon their 

individual qualifications. Nominees for 

membership must have expertise and 

experience in one or more of the 

following fields: 

• Clinical medicine including 

subspecialties 

• Administrative medicine 

• Public health 

• Health disparities 

• Biological and physical sciences 

• Epidemiology and biostatistics 

• Clinical trial design 

• Health care data management and 

analysis 

• Patient advocacy 

• Health care economics 

• Medical ethics 

• Other relevant professions 

We are looking particularly for 

experts in a number of fields. These 

include health disparities, cancer 

screening, genetic testing, clinical 

epidemiology, psychopharmacology, 

screening and diagnostic testing 

analysis, and vascular surgery. We also 

need experts in biostatistics in clinical 

settings, dementia treatment, 

observational research design, stroke 

epidemiology, and women’s health. 

The nomination letter must include a 

statement that the nominee is willing to 

serve as a member of the MEDCAC and 

appears to have no conflict of interest 

that would preclude membership. We 

are requesting that all curricula vitae 

include the following: 

• Title and current position 

• Professional affiliation 

• Home and business address 

• Telephone 

• Email address 

• List of areas of expertise 

In the nomination letter, we are 

requesting that nominees specify 

whether they are applying for a patient 

advocate position, for an at-large 

standing position, or as an industry 

representative. Potential candidates will 

be asked to provide detailed information 

concerning such matters as financial 

holdings, consultancies, and research 

grants or contracts in order to permit 

evaluation of possible sources of 

financial conflict of interest. Department 

policy prohibits multiple committee 

memberships. A federal advisory 

committee member may not serve on 

more than one committee within an 

agency at the same time. 

Members may be invited to serve for 

overlapping 2-year terms. A member 

may continue to serve after the 

expiration of the member’s term until a 

successor is named. Any interested 

person may nominate one or more 

qualified persons. Self-nominations are 

also accepted. Individuals interested in 

the representative positions are 

encouraged to include a letter of support 

from the organization or interest group 

they would represent.

information is reviewed before the 

implementation of the project changes. 

Likely Respondents: HRSA applicants 

applying for federal loan guarantees, 

federal construction grants, and 

cooperative agreements. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to
