SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Secretary signed the initial 

charter for the Medicare Coverage 

Advisory Committee (MCAC) on 

November 24, 1998. A notice in the 

Federal Register (63 FR 68780) 

announcing establishment of the MCAC 

was published on December 14, 1998. 

The MCAC name was updated to more 

accurately reflect the purpose of the 

committee and on January 26, 2007, the 

Secretary published a notice in the 

Federal Register (72 FR 3853), 

announcing that the Committee’s name 

changed to the Medicare Evidence 

Development & Coverage Advisory 

Committee (MEDCAC). The charter for 

the committee can be accessed at http:// 

www.cms.gov/Regulations-andGuidance/Guidance/FACA/

MEDCAC.html. 

The MEDCAC is governed by 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), which sets 

forth standards for the formulation and 

use of advisory committees, and is 

authorized by section 222 of the Public 

Health Service Act as amended (42 

U.S.C. 217A). 

We are requesting nominations for 

candidates to serve on the MEDCAC. 

Nominees are selected based upon their 

individual qualifications and not solely 

as representatives of professional 

associations or societies. We wish to 

ensure adequate representation of the 

interests of both women and men, 

members of all ethnic groups, and 

physically challenged individuals. 

Therefore, we encourage nominations of 

qualified candidates who can represent 

these interests. 

The MEDCAC consists of a pool of 

100 appointed members including: 94 

at-large standing members (6 of whom 

are patient advocates), and 6 

representatives of industry interests. 

Members generally are recognized 

authorities in clinical medicine 

including subspecialties, administrative
