The Committee is governed by provisions of Public Law 92-463, as

and use of Advisory Committees. ACIM advises the Secretary on 
Department activities and programs that are directed at reducing infant 
mortality and improving the health status of pregnant women and 
infants. The Committee represents a public and private partnership at 
the highest level to provide guidance and focus attention on the 
policies and resources required to address the reduction of infant 
mortality. The Committee also provides advice on how best to coordinate 
the myriad of federal, state, local, and private programs and efforts 
that are designed to deal with the health and social problems impacting 
infant mortality, including the Healthy Start program.
    On September 30, 2017, the ACIM charter was renewed. Renewal of the 
ACIM charter authorizes the Committee to operate until September 30, 
2019. A copy of the ACIM charter is available on the Committee's Web
