section 2119 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa19, as added by Public Law 99–660 and
amended, HRSA is requesting
nominations for six voting members of
the ACCV.
The ACCV advises the Secretary on
the implementation of the VICP. The
activities of the ACCV include:
Recommending changes in the Vaccine
Injury Table at its own initiative or as
the result of the filing of a petition;
advising the Secretary in implementing
section 2127 of the Act regarding the
need for childhood vaccination
products that result in fewer or no
significant adverse reactions; surveying
federal, state, and local programs and
activities related to gathering
information on injuries associated with
the administration of childhood
vaccines, including the adverse reaction
reporting requirements of section
2125(b) of the Act; advising the
Secretary on the methods of obtaining,
compiling, publishing, and using
credible data related to the frequency
and severity of adverse reactions
associated with childhood vaccines;
consulting on the development or
revision of Vaccine Information
Statements; and recommending to the
Director of the National Vaccine
Program research related to vaccine
injuries which should be conducted to
carry out the VICP.
The ACCV consists of nine voting
members appointed by the Secretary as
follows: (1) Three health professionals,
who are not employees of the United
States Government, and who have
expertise in the health care of children,
the epidemiology, etiology, and
prevention of childhood diseases, and
the adverse reactions associated with
vaccines, of whom at least two shall be
pediatricians; (2) three members from
the general public, of whom at least two
shall be legal representatives (parents or

includes representation of vaccine
manufacturers. In addition, the Director
of the National Institutes of Health, the
Assistant Secretary for Health, the
Director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and the
Commissioner of the Food and Drug
Administration (or the designees of such
officials) serve as nonvoting ex officio
members.
Specifically, HRSA is requesting
nominations for six voting members of
the ACCV representing: (1) Two health
professionals, who have expertise in the
health care of children, the
epidemiology, etiology, and prevention
of childhood diseases, and the adverse

child who has suffered a vaccine related
injury or death; and (3) two attorneys,
of whom at least one shall be an
attorney whose specialty includes
representation of persons who have
suffered a vaccine-related injury or
death, and of whom one shall be an
attorney whose specialty includes
representation of vaccine
manufacturers. Nominees will be
invited to serve a 3-year term beginning
the date of appointment.
The Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS or Department) will
consider nominations of all qualified
individuals with a view to ensuring that
the ACCV includes the areas of subject
matter expertise noted above. Based on
a recommendation made by the ACCV,
the Secretary will consider having a
health professional with expertise in
obstetrics as the second member of the
general public. Interested persons may
nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership on the ACCV.
Nominations shall state that the
nominee is willing to serve as a member
of the ACCV.
ACCV members are appointed as
Special Government Employees. As
such, they are covered by the federal
ethics rules, including the criminal
conflict of interest statutes governing
executive branch employees. For
example, an ACCV member may be
prohibited from discussions about
making changes to the Vaccine Injury
Table and Vaccine Information
Statements for the Hepatitis B vaccine if
he/she or his/her spouse owns stock
valued above a certain amount in
companies which manufacturer this
vaccine, affecting their own pecuniary
interests—including interests imputed
to them. To evaluate possible conflicts
of interest, potential candidates will be
asked to fill out the Confidential

concerning financial interests,
consultancies, research grants, and/or

recommendations made by the ACCV.
A nomination package should include
the following information for each
nominee: (1) A letter of nomination
stating the name, affiliation, and contact
information for the nominee, the basis
for the nomination (i.e., what specific
attributes, perspectives, and/or skills
does the individual possess that would
benefit the workings of the ACCV) and
the nominee’s field(s) of expertise; (2) a
biographical sketch of the nominee and
a copy of his/her curriculum vitae; and
(3) the name, address, daytime

The HHS strives to ensure that the
membership of the HHS Federal
Advisory Committee is fairly balanced
in terms of points of view presented and
the committee’s function. Every effort is
made to ensure that the views of
women, all ethnic and racial groups,
and people with disabilities are
represented on HHS Federal Advisory
Committees and, therefore, the
Department encourages nominations of
qualified candidates from these groups.
The Department also encourages
geographic diversity in the composition
of the Committee. Appointment to this
Committee shall be made without
discrimination on basis of age, race,
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
disability, and cultural, religious, or
socioeconomic status.

Information Collection Request Title:
Examining Consumer and Producer
Responses to Restaurant Menu Labeling
Requirements.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting approval on a new
information collection request from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for purposes of conducting a
study about calorie labeling on
restaurant menus.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Previous research demonstrates that
consumers respond both to information
about their options and the way those
options are presented. Accordingly,
restaurants can utilize presentation
effects on menus and menu boards to
influence consumer perceptions and
choices. By analyzing the consumer
response to menu options and design,
this study will offer a wide-ranging view
of the consumer responses to menu
labeling requirements.
Likely Respondents
Online Survey
The goal of the online survey is to
evaluate the effect that the calorie
labeling will have on consumer choices
when ordering at restaurants.
