SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing
of financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for HICPAC membership each year, and
provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in July 2019, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year. SGE Nominees must be
U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time
employees of the U.S. Government.
Candidates should submit the following
items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D At least one letter of recommendation
from 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 an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.)
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate.

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
