    General Function of the Committee: To provide recommendations to 
the National Coordinator on standards, implementation

consistent with the implementation of the Federal Health IT 
Strategic Plan, and in accordance with policies developed by the HIT 
Policy Committee.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on June 30, 2010, from 9

the contact person for up-to-date information on this meeting. A 
notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that 
impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot 
always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice.
    Agenda: The committee will hear reports from its workgroups, 
including the Clinical Operations, Clinical Quality, Privacy & 
Security, and Implementation Workgroups. ONC intends to make 
background material available to the public no later than two (2) 
business days prior to the meeting. If ONC is unable to post the 
background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, it will be 
made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee 
meeting, and the background material will be posted on ONC's Web 
site after 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 committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before 
June 24, 2010. Oral comments from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 1 and 2 p.m./Eastern Time. Time allotted for 
each presentation will be limited to three minutes each. If the 
number of speakers requesting to comment is greater than can be 
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing 
session, ONC will take written comments after the meeting until 
close of business.
    Persons attending ONC's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the agency is not responsible for providing access to 
electrical outlets.
    ONC welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory 
committee meetings. Seating is limited at the location, and ONC will 
make every effort to accommodate persons with physical disabilities 
or special needs. 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
