SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACNHSC consults, advises, and makes 
recommendations to the HHS Secretary and the HRSA Administrator with 
respect to their responsibilities. NACNHSC also reviews and comments on 
regulations promulgated by the Secretary under Subpart II, Part D of 
Title III of the Public Health Service Act.
    During the September 2018 meetings, NACNHSC will continue its 
discussion from the May 15, 2018, meeting to develop recommendations on 
the current NHSC focus areas and finalize policy recommendations to the 
Secretary and the HRSA Administrator. The current circumstances to 
strengthen the healthcare workforce and NHSC's role in the expansion 
and improvement of access to quality opioid and substance use disorder 
treatment in rural and underserved areas is an important opportunity 
for NACNHSC to add its voice. For this reason, NACNHSC will develop 
comprehensive policy recommendations and a framework to articulate a 
clear vision and mission statement that aligns with the BHW and HRSA 
strategic plan. An agenda will be posted on the NACNHSC website prior 
to the meeting. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities 
dictate.
