    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting 
nominations for membership on the BCCEDCAC. The BCCEDCAC provides 
advice and guidance to the Secretary, the Assistant Secretary for 
Health, and the CDC on the early detection and control of breast and 
cervical cancer. The role of the BCCEDCAC is to provide advice and make 
recommendations regarding national program goals and objectives; 
implementation strategies; program priorities, including surveillance, 
epidemiologic investigations, education and training, information 
dissemination, professional interactions and collaborations, and 
policy.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and 
qualifications necessary to contribute to the accomplishments of the 
committee's objectives. Nominees will be selected based on expertise in 
the field of medicine, including public health,

behavioral science, epidemiology, radiology, pathology, clinical 
medical care, health education, and surveillance. Members may be 
invited to serve for four-year terms.
    The next cycle of selection of candidates will begin in the Winter 
of 2011, for selection of potential nominees to replace members whose 
terms will end on March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 respectively. 
Selection of members is based on candidates' qualifications to 
contribute to the accomplishment of BCCEDCAC objectives (https://www.cdc.gov/maso/FACM/facmBCCEDCAC.htm). The U.S. Department of Health 
and Human Services policy stipulates that committee membership shall be 
balanced in terms of professional training and background, points of 
view represented, and the committee's function. Consideration is given 
to a broad representation of geographic areas within the U.S., with 
diverse representation of both genders, ethnic and racial minorities, 
and persons with disabilities. Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and 
cannot be full-time employees of the U.S. Government.
    Candidates should submit the following items:
     Current curriculum vitae or resume, including complete 
contact information (telephone numbers, fax number, mailing address, e-
mail address).
     At least one letter of recommendation from a person(s) not 
employed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 
Candidates may submit letter(s) from current HHS employees if they 
wish, but at least one letter must be submitted by a person not 
employed by HHS.
Nominations should be submitted (postmarked or received) by October 1, 
2011.
     Electronic submission: You may submit nominations, 
including attachments, electronically to JBlackmon@cdc.gov.
     Regular, Express or Overnight Mail: Written nominations 
may be submitted to the following addressee only: Ms. Jameka Reese 
Blackmon, M.B.A., C.M.P., c/o BCCEDCAC Secretariat, Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, 4770 Buford Highway, NE., Mailstop K-57, 
Atlanta, Georgia 30341, Telephone and facsimile submissions cannot be 
accepted.
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate or by the person/
organization recommending the candidate.
    Candidates invited to serve will be asked to submit the 
``Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government 
Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention.'' This form allows CDC to determine 
whether there is a statutory conflict between that person's public 
responsibilities as a Special Government Employee and private interests 
and activities, or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined 
by Federal regulation. The form may be viewed and downloaded at https://www.usoge.gov/forms/oge450_pdf/oge450_accessible.pdf.
    This form should not be submitted as part of a nomination.
    The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, has been 
delegated the authority to sign Federal Register notices pertaining to 
announcements of meetings and other committee management activities for 
both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Agency for 
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

    Dated: September 2, 2011.
Catherine Ramadei,
Acting Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention.
