ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the 
Department of Health and Human Services is giving notice that the 
Advisory Committee on Infant and Maternal Mortality (ACIMM or 
Committee) is renewed. The effective date of the charter renewal is 
September 30, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ACIMM 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. 
10), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of Advisory 
Committees. ACIMM advises the Secretary of Health and Human Services on 
department activities, partnerships, policies, and programs directed at 
reducing infant mortality, maternal mortality and severe maternal 
morbidity, and improving the health status of infants and women before, 
during, and after pregnancy. The Committee provides advice on how best 
to coordinate Federal, State, local, Tribal, and Territorial 
governmental efforts designed to improve infant mortality, related 
adverse birth outcomes, and maternal health, as well as influence 
similar efforts in the private and voluntary sectors. The Committee 
provides guidance and recommendations on the policies, programs, and 
resources required to address the disparities and inequities in infant 
mortality, related adverse birth outcomes and maternal health outcomes, 
including maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. With its 
focus on underlying causes of the disparities and inequities seen in 
birth outcomes for women and infants, the Committee advises the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services on the health, social, economic, 
and environmental factors contributing to the inequities and proposes 
structural, policy and/or systems level changes.
    The charter renewal for ACIMM was approved on September 8, 2023. 
The filing date is September 30, 2023. Renewal of the ACIMM charter 
gives authorization for the committee to operate until September 30, 
2025.
