Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 145 / Monday, July 30, 2007 / Notices 41509 

The Department of Health and Human 

Services is committed to ensuring that 

women, minority groups, and 

individuals with physical disabilities 

are adequately represented on the 

Committee. Nominations of qualified 

candidates from these categories are 

encouraged. The Department also seeks 

to have geographic diversity reflected in 

the composition of the Committee. 

The Standards of Ethical Conduct for 

Employees of the Executive Branch are 

applicable to individuals who are 

appointed as public members of Federal 

advisory committees. Individuals 

appointed to serve as public members of 

Federal advisory committees are 

classified as special Government 

employees (SGEs). SGEs are 

Government employees for purposes of 

the conflict of interest laws. Therefore, 

individuals appointed to serve as public 

members of the ACBSA are subject to an 

ethics review. The ethics review is 

conducted to determine if the 

individual has any interests and/or 

activities in the private sector that may 

conflict with performance of their 

official duties as a member of the 

Committee. Individuals appointed to 

serve as public members of the 

Committee will be required to disclose 

information regarding financial 

holdings, consultancies, and research 

grants and/or contracts. 

Dated: July 23, 2007. 

Jerry A. Holmberg, 

Executive Secretary, Advisory Committee on 

Blood Safety and Availability.
