    Correction: This notice was published in the Federal Register on 
July 8, 2010, Volume 75, Number 130, Page 39265-39266. The notice for 
the aforementioned meeting has been changed to the following:
    The NCEH/ATSDR is soliciting nominations for consideration of 
membership on the BSC. The BSC, NCEH/ATSDR provides advice and guidance 
to the Secretary, HHS; the Director, CDC and the Director, NCEH/ATSDR, 
regarding program goals, objectives, strategies, and priorities in 
fulfillment of the agencies' mission to protect and promote people's 
health. The Board provides advice and guidance to help NCEH/ATSDR work 
more efficiently and effectively with its various constituents and to 
fulfill its mission in protecting America's health.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and 
qualifications necessary to contribute to the accomplishments of the 
Board's objectives. Nominees will be selected from experts having 
experience in preventing human diseases and disabilities caused by 
environmental conditions. Experts in the disciplines of toxicology, 
epidemiology, environmental or occupational medicine, behavioral 
science, risk assessment, exposure assessment, and experts in public 
health and other related disciplines will be considered. Balanced 
membership will depend upon several factors, including: (1) The 
committee's mission; (2) the geographic, ethnic, social, economic, or 
scientific impact of the advisory committee's recommendations; (3) the 
types of specific perspectives required, for example, such as those of 
consumers, technical experts, the public at-large, academia, business, 
or other sectors; (4) the need to obtain divergent points of view on 
the issues before the advisory committee; and (5) the relevance of 
State, local, or tribal governments to the development of the advisory 
committee's recommendations. Members may be invited to serve up to 
four-year terms. Nominees must be U.S. citizens.
    The following information must be submitted for each candidate: 
name, affiliation, address, telephone number, and current curriculum 
vitae. E-mail addresses are requested if available.
    Nominations should be sent, in writing, and postmarked by November 
30, 2010 to: Sandra Malcom, Committee Management Specialist, NCEH/
ATSDR, CDC, 4770 Buford Highway (MS-F61), Chamblee, Georgia 30341. (E-
mail address: [email protected]). Telephone and facsimile submissions cannot 
be accepted.
    Candidates invited to serve will be asked to submit the 
``Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government 
Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention.'' This form allows CDC to determine 
whether there is a statutory conflict between that person's public 
responsibilities as a Special Government Employee and private interests 
and activities, or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined 
by Federal regulation. The form may be viewed and downloaded at http://www.usoge.gov/forms/oge450_pdf/oge450_accessible.pdf. This form 
should not be submitted as part of a nomination.
    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 National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for 
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

    Dated: August 24, 2010.
