Office of the Director; Notice of Establishment

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 
U.S.C. App.), the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH), 
announces the establishment of the National Asthma Education Prevention 
Program Coordinating Committee (NAEPP) as required by 424B of the 
Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 285b-7b, as amended.
    The NAEPP's primary mission is to provide advice to the National 
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute 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 NAEPP 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.
    It is determined that the NAEPP is in the public interest in 
connection with the performance of duties imposed on the NIH by 
statute, and that these duties can best be performed through the advice 
and counsel of this group.
    Inquires may be directed to Jennifer Spaeth, Director, Office of
