Pursuant
to section 319M of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d–7f) and
section 222 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 217a), the Department of
Health and Human Services established
the National Biodefense Science Board.
The Board shall provide expert advice
and guidance to the Secretary on
scientific, technical, and other matters
of special interest to the Department of
Health and Human Services regarding
current and future chemical, biological,
nuclear, and radiological agents,
whether naturally occurring, accidental,
or deliberate. The Board may also
provide advice and guidance to the
Secretary and/or the Assistant Secretary
for Preparedness and Response on other
matters related to public health
emergency preparedness and response.
Background: The Board is being asked
to review and evaluate the 2012 Public
Health Emergency Medical
Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE)
Strategy and Implementation Plan (SIP).
Until a final document is approved by
the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), the
development of PHEMCE SIP requires
consideration and discussion of
procurement-sensitive information that
should not be released to the public
prior to the Secretary’s final decision.
Premature public disclosure of the draft
PHEMCE SIP would limit the
Secretary’s decision-making ability to
effectively prioritize HHS expenditures
on critical medical countermeasures.
Therefore, the Board’s deliberations on
the new task are being conducted in
closed sessions in accordance with
provisions set forth under exemption
9(B) of the Government in Sunshine
Act, 5 U.S.C. section 552b(c), and with
approval by the Assistant Secretary for
Preparedness and Response.
