AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, DHHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is

the Advisory Committee to the Administrator, HRSA.

DATES: Nominations must be received by close-of-business on December 
12, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Nominations and the curricula vitae of nominees should be 
sent to Douglas S. Lloyd, M.D., M.P.H., Executive Secretary to the 
Advisory Committee to the Administrator, HRSA, Room 14-15, 5600 Fishers 
Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alexander F. Ross, Sc.D., at the above 
address, or phone (301) 443-4034 for further information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HRSA is requesting nominations for the 
Administrator's Advisory Committee, which was chartered on August 2, 
1996. This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act [5 
U.S.C. app. 2] and 21 CFR part 14, relating to advisory committees.
    The Administrator's Advisory Committee is a 16-member panel to be 
appointed by the Secretary, to assist the Administrator in developing 
major plans and policies and to provide guidance on the methods and 
resources required to address the current environment in the health 
services delivery system, and on improving HRSA's ability to monitor 
the health status of its service populations. The Committee will advise 
the Secretary and the Administrator regarding the organization and 
functioning of the Agency to ensure efficient and effective 
organizational relationships and internal management. It is anticipated 
that the majority of members for this Committee will have extensive 
knowledge and experience with the programs administered by HRSA.
    Eleven of the Committee's members shall be authorities who are 
knowledgeable in the fields of health care delivery and finance, the 
health workforce and training of the workforce, public health, and the 
special needs of disadvantaged population. Five members shall be 
representatives of the general public.

Nominations Procedure

    Any interested person may nominate for consideration no more than 
three qualified individuals for membership on the committee. Nominators 
shall note that the nominee is willing to serve as a member of the 
committee for the full, four-year term. Terms of office of the members 
first appointed to a newly initiated committee shall expire, as 
designated by the Secretary at the time of appointment, 4 at the end of 
1 year, 4 at the end of 2 years, 4 at the end of 3 years and 4 at the 
end of 4 years. Nominated individuals should have no conflict of 
interest that would preclude this service. For each nominee, 
nominations must include a complete curriculum vitae, a current 
business address, and a daytime telephone number. Nominators are 
invited to state why they believe a nominee to be particularly well-
qualified. Please note that due to time constraints, incomplete 
nominations (such as those without a curriculum vitae) will not be 
considered. The Department has a special interest in assuring that 
appropriately qualified citizens who are women, members of a minority, 
or who have a physical disability are adequately represented on 
advisory bodies. It therefore encourages the nomination of such 
candidates to the HRSA Administrator's Advisory Council. The Department 
will also give close consideration to an equitable geographic 
representation.
    Final selections from among qualified candidates for each vacancy 
will be determined by the expertise required to meet specific agency 
needs and in a manner to ensure balance of membership.

    Dated: October 17, 1996.
Ciro V. Sumaya,
Administrator.
