According to the latest data, nearly 25 million people in the United States, including more than 6 million children, have asthma. The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Coordinating Committee (NAEPPCC) provides a venue for convening diverse stakeholders with an interest in improving asthma management in the context of current standards of care.</p>

<p>The goals of the NAEPPCC are to:</p>

<ul><li>Raise awareness among patients, health professionals, and the public that asthma is a serious chronic condition.</li>
	<li>Ensure the recognition of the signs and symptoms of asthma by patients, families, and the public and the appropriate diagnosis by health professionals.</li>
	<li>Ensure effective control of asthma by encouraging a partnership among patients, physicians, and other health professionals through modern treatment and education programs.</li>
	<li>Enhance the quality of life for patients with asthma, reduce the burden of asthma, and reduce the number of asthma-related deaths.</li>
</ul><p>To accomplish these goals, the NAEPPCC oversees the development of asthma guidelines, creates tools and materials to put the guidelines into practice, coordinates federal asthma-related activities, and builds partnerships. The <a href="https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/advisory-and-peer-review-committees/national-asthma-education-and-prevention-program-coordinating" rel="noreferrer">membership of the NAEPPCC</a>, a federal asthma advisory committee, comprises representatives from federal agencies, medical associations, voluntary health organizations, and community programs and seeks to educate patients, health professionals, and the public.</p></div>

<p><strong>NATIONAL ASTHMA EDUCATION AND PREVENTION PROGRAM COORDINATING COMMITTEE</strong></p>

<p><strong>AUTHORITY</strong></p>

<p>Authorized by 424B of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 285b-7b, as amended. The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Coordinating Committee (Committee) is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of advisory committees.</p>

<p><strong>OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES</strong></p>

<p>The NAEPPCC was created to address asthma issues in the United States. The objectives of the Committee are to (1) raise awareness of patients, health professionals, and the public that asthma is a serious chronic disease and to ensure the recognition of the symptoms of asthma by patients, families, and the public and the appropriate diagnosis by health professionals; (2) continually identify federal programs that carry out asthma-related activities; and (3) develop or update, in consultation with appropriate federal agencies and professional voluntary health organizations, the federal plan for responding to asthma to aid in effective control of asthma by encouraging a partnership among federal agencies, patients, physicians, and other health professionals through modern treatment and education programs.</p>

<p>To accomplish these broad program goals, the Committee is made up of members from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), as well as other federal agencies, and intermediaries, including major medical associations, voluntary health organizations, and community programs; it strives to educate patients, health professionals, and the public. The ultimate goal of the NAEPPCC is to enhance the quality of life for patients with asthma and reduce asthma-related morbidity and mortality.</p>

<p><strong>DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES</strong></p>

<p>The Committee’s primary mission is to provide advice to the NHLBI on matters concerning asthma and to facilitate the efficient and effective exchange of information on asthma activities among the member agencies and voluntary health organizations in order to enhance coordination of asthma-related programs and activities. The Committee will assist in increasing public understanding of the member agencies’ activities, programs, policies, and research and will serve as a public forum for discussion of issues related to asthma.</p>

<p><strong>AGENCY OR OFFICIAL TO WHOM THE COMMITTEE REPORTS</strong></p>

<p>The Committee will advise, assist, consult with, and make recommendations to the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).</p>

<p><strong>SUPPORT</strong></p>

<p>Management and support services will be provided by the Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science (CTRIS) and the Division of Lung Diseases (DLD) at the NHLBI.</p>

<p><strong>ESTIMATED ANNUAL OPERATING COST AND STAFF YEARS</strong></p>

<p>The estimated annual cost for operating the Committee, excluding staff support, is $68,585. The estimated annual person-years of staff support required are 0.3, at an estimated annual cost of $34,146.</p>

<p><strong>DESIGNATED FEDERAL OFFICER</strong></p>

<p>The director of the NHLBI will assign a full-time or permanent part-time NHLBI employee as the designated federal officer (DFO) of the Committee. In the event that the DFO cannot fulfill the assigned duties of the Committee, one or more full-time or permanent part-time NHLBI or NIH employees will be assigned these duties on a temporary basis.</p>

<p>The DFO will approve or call all of the Committee’s and subcommittees’ meetings, prepare and approve all meeting agendas, attend all Committee and subcommittee meetings, adjourn any meeting when it is determined to be in the public interest, and chair meetings when directed to do so by the director of the NHLBI.</p>

<p><strong>ESTIMATED NUMBER AND FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS</strong></p>

Meetings will be open to the public, except as determined otherwise by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in accordance with subsection (c) of section 552b of Title 5 U.S.C. Notice of all meetings will be given to the public. In the event that a portion of a meeting is closed to the public, as determined by the secretary in accordance with the government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b[c]) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a report will be prepared that will contain, as a minimum, a list of members and their business addresses, the Committee’s functions, dates and places of meetings, and a summary of the Committee’s activities and recommendations made during the fiscal year.
