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 committee will hear reports from its workgroups and
updates from ONC and other Federal agencies. 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: ONC is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory
committee meetings. 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 two
days prior to the Committee's meeting date. Oral comments from the
public will be scheduled in the agenda. 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 public comment period, ONC will take
written comments after the meeting until close of business on that day.
ONC welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory committee
meetings. If you require special assistance due to a disability, please
contact MacKenzie Robertson at least seven (7) days in advance of the
meeting.
Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C., App. 2).
