SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, HHS is 
hereby giving notice that the Advisory Committee on Infant Mortality 
(ACIM or the Committee) has been renewed.

DATES: The effective date of the charter renewal is September 30, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ACIM is authorized by section 222 of the 
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a), as amended. The Committee 
is governed by provisions of Public Law 92-463, as amended, (5 U.S.C. 
App. 2), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of 
Advisory Committees. ACIM advises the Secretary of HHS on department 
activities and programs directed at reducing infant mortality and 
improving the health status of pregnant women and infants. ACIM 
represents a public-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 and the improvement of the 
health status of pregnant women and infants. With a focus on life 
course, the Committee also addresses disparities in maternal health to 
improve maternal health outcomes, including preventing and reducing 
maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. 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 and maternal 
health.
    The charter renewal for ACIM was approved on September 30, 2019, 
which also stands as the filing date. Renewal of the ACIM charter gives 
authorization for the Committee to operate until September 30, 2021. A
