Technology, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

    This notice announces a forthcoming subcommittee meeting of a 
Federal advisory committee of the Office of the National Coordinator 
for Health Information Technology (ONC). The meeting will be open to 
the public.

    Name of Committee: HIT Policy Committee's Privacy & Security 
Tiger Team.
    General Function of the Committee: To provide recommendations to 
the National Coordinator on a policy framework for the development 
and adoption of a nationwide health information technology 
infrastructure that permits the electronic exchange and use of 
health information as is consistent with the Federal Health IT 
Strategic Plan and that includes recommendations on the areas in 
which standards, implementation specifications, and certification 
criteria are needed.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on June 29, 2010, from 8 
a.m. to 5:15 p.m./Eastern Time.
    Location: Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel, 1000 H Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20001 (telephone: 202-582-1234). Please check the ONC 
Web site, http://healthit.hhs.gov, for additional information as it 
becomes available, instructions on how to listen via telephone or 
Web, and viewing a video recording of the event which will be 
available following the meeting.
    Contact Person: Judy Sparrow, Office of the National 
Coordinator, HHS, 330 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20201, 202-205-
4528, Fax: 202-690-6079, e-mail: [email protected]. Please call 
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 workgroup will be discussing technologies that 
enable consumer choice for sharing their information in health 
information exchange. The workgroup will be hearing testimony from 
current users of such technologies, developers of ``cutting edge'' 
technologies that may be useful in the clinical care setting in the 
future, as well as stakeholder groups. 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 23, 2010. Oral comments from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 5 p.m. and 5:15 p.m./Eastern Time. Time 
allotted for each presentation will be limited to three minutes. 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 on that day.
    Persons attending 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. Web registration is highly recommended and is
