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 

participation on federal workgroups or 

prior experience serving on a federal 

advisory committee does not disqualify 

a candidate; however, HHS policy is to 

avoid excessive individual service on 

advisory committees and multiple 

committee memberships. Committee 

members are Special Government 

Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing 

of financial disclosure reports at the 

beginning and annually during their 

terms. CDC reviews potential candidates 

for HICPAC 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 July 2019, 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. SGE 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.

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding the burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including the necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions, the accuracy of 

the estimated burden, ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected and the use 

of automated collection techniques or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment:

services rendered to Medicare

42 CFR 413.20 and 413.24 require 

adequate cost data and cost reports from
