SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Established on December 19, 2006, the
Board has proven to be an invaluable
tool for providing expert advice and
guidance to the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (hereafter referred to as the
Secretary) and ASPR on scientific,
technical, and other matters of special
interest to the Department of Health and
Human Services (hereinafter referred to
as the Department) regarding current

and future chemical, biological, nuclear,
and radiological agents, whether
naturally occurring, accidental, or
deliberate, in addition to other matters
related to public health emergency
preparedness and response.
Background: The Board is authorized
under Section 319M of the PHS Act (42
U.S.C. 247d–7f) as added by section 402
of the Pandemic and All-Hazards
Preparedness Act (PAHPA) of 2006 and
amended by section 404 of PAHPRA,
and Section 222 of the PHS Act (42
U.S.C. 217a). The Board is governed by
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. App.), which sets forth standards
for the formation and use of advisory
committees.
Signed into law on March 13, 2013,
PAHPRA reauthorized key portions of
the PHS Act initially enacted under the
PAHPA and enhanced authorities of the
Department for preparedness and
response. Among other things, PAHPRA
amended Departmental authorities to
require greater consideration for the
unique medical needs of at-risk
populations (e.g., children, pregnant
women, persons with disabilities,
seniors, and others identified by the
Secretary) in preparedness and
response, especially with respect to
countermeasures. PAHPRA also
amended and added authorities to
reinforce the invaluable role of state,
tribal, territorial and local officials in
optimizing a comprehensive,
coordinated and flexible response to
public health emergencies. As required
by PAHPRA, the charter now states that
Board membership includes a
representative with pediatric expertise
and a State, tribal, territorial, or local
public health official, and that Board
duties include providing specified
information to appropriate committees
of Congress.
The new name more accurately
reflects the Board’s contributions to
fulfilling the Department’s and ASPR’s
mission in preparedness and response,
the range of expertise of its members,
and the broad scope of subject areas on
which it opines. The new name reflects
the existing functions of the Board as
carried out under both authorizing
statutes.
Dated: April 25, 2014.
Nicole Lurie,
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and
Response.
