the public via dial-in access only.

    Name of Committees: HIT Policy Committee's Workgroups:

and Nationwide Health Information Infrastructure (NHIN) workgroups.
    General Function of the Committee: To provide recommendations to

and adoption of a nationwide health information technology 
infrastructure that permits the electronic exchange and use of 
health information as is consistent with the Federal Health IT

which standards, implementation specifications, and certification 
criteria are needed.
    Date and Time: The HIT Policy Committee Workgroups will hold the 
following public meetings during June 2010: June 4th Meaningful Use

Coordinator, HHS, 330 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20201, 202-205-
4528, Fax: 202-690-6079, e-mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#137966776a3d60637261617c64537b7b603d747c65"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="563c23322f7825263724243921163e3e2578313920">[email protected]</span></a>. Please call 
the contact person for up-to-date information on these meetings. A 
notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that 
effect a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot 
always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice.
    Agenda: The workgroups will be discussing issues related to 
their specific subject matter, e.g., meaningful use, the NHIN, 
privacy and security policy, or adoption/certification. If 
background materials are associated with the workgroup meetings, 
they will be posted on ONC's Web site prior to the meeting at http://healthit.hhs.gov.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the 
workgroups. Written submissions may be made to the contact person on 
or before two days prior to the workgroups' meeting date. Oral 
comments from the public will be scheduled at the conclusion of each 
workgroup meeting. Time allotted for each presentation will be 
limited to three minutes. If the number of speakers requesting to 
comment is greater than can be reasonably accommodated during the 
scheduled open public session, ONC will take written comments after 
the meeting until close of business on that day.
    If you require special accommodations due to a disability, 
please contact Judy Sparrow at least seven (7) days in advance of 
the meeting.
    ONC is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory 
committee meetings. Please
