SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services policy stipulates that 

committee membership be balanced in 

terms of points of view represented, and 

the committee’s function. Appointments 

shall be made without discrimination 

on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, 

gender, sexual orientation, gender 

identity, HIV status, disability, and 

cultural, religious, or socioeconomic 

status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens, 

and cannot be full-time employees of 

the U.S. Government. Current

advisory committees and multiple 

committee memberships. Committee 

members are Special Government

financial disclosure reports at the 

beginning and annually during their 

terms. CDC reviews potential candidates 

for BCCEDCAC membership each year, 

and provides a slate of nominees for 

consideration to the Secretary of HHS 

for final selection. HHS notifies selected 

candidates of their appointment near 

the start of the term in April 2018, or as 

soon as the HHS selection process is 

completed. Note that the need for 

different expertise varies from year to 

year and a candidate who is not selected 

in one year may be reconsidered in a 

subsequent year. 

Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and 

cannot be full-time employees of the 

U.S. Government. Candidates should 

submit the following items: 

D Current curriculum vitae, including 

complete contact information 

(telephone numbers, mailing address, 

email address). 

D At least one letter of 

recommendation from person(s) not 

employed by the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services. 

(Candidates may submit letter(s) from 

current HHS employees if they wish, 

but at least one letter must be submitted 

by a person not employed by an HHS 

agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.). 

Nominations may be submitted by the 

candidate him- or herself, or by the 

person/organization recommending the 

candidate. 

The Director, Management Analysis 

and Services Office, has been delegated 

the authority to sign Federal Register 

notices pertaining to announcements of 

meetings and other committee 

management activities for both CDC and 

the Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry.
