Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 231 / Friday, November 30, 2018 / Notices
Federal Register (63 FR 68780)
announcing establishment of the MCAC
was published on December 14, 1998.
The MCAC name was updated to more
accurately reflect the purpose of the
committee and on January 26, 2007, the
Secretary published a notice in the
Federal Register (72 FR 3853),
announcing that the Committee’s name
changed to the Medicare Evidence
Development & Coverage Advisory
Committee (MEDCAC). The current
Secretary’s Charter for the MEDCAC is
available on the CMS website at: https://
www.cms.hhs.gov/FACA/Downloads/
medcaccharter.pdf, or you may obtain a
copy of the charter by submitting a
request to the contact listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION section of this
notice.
The MEDCAC is governed by
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, as
amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), which sets
forth standards for the formulation and
use of advisory committees, and is
authorized by section 222 of the Public
Health Service Act as amended (42
U.S.C. 217A).
We are requesting nominations for
candidates to serve on the MEDCAC.
Nominees are selected based upon their
individual qualifications and not solely
as representatives of professional
associations or societies. We wish to
ensure adequate representation of the
interests of both women and men,
members of all ethnic groups, and
physically challenged individuals.
Therefore, we encourage nominations of
qualified candidates who can represent
these interests.
The MEDCAC consists of a pool of
100 appointed members including: 90
at-large standing members (10 of whom
are patient advocates), and 10
representatives of industry interests.
Members generally are recognized
authorities in clinical medicine
including subspecialties, administrative
medicine, public health, biological and
physical sciences, epidemiology and
biostatistics, clinical trial design, health
care data management and analysis,
patient advocacy, health care
economics, medical ethics or other
relevant professions.
The MEDCAC works from an agenda
provided by the Designated Federal
Official. The MEDCAC reviews and
evaluates medical literature and
technology assessments, and hears
public testimony on the evidence
available to address the impact of
medical items and services on health
outcomes of Medicare beneficiaries. The
MEDCAC may also advise the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
VerDate Sep<11>2014

as part of Medicare’s ‘‘coverage with
evidence development’’ initiative.
II. Provisions of the Notice
As of June 2019, there will be 20
membership terms expiring. Of the 20
memberships expiring, 1 is an industry
representative and the remaining 19
membership openings are for the atlarge standing MEDCAC membership.
All nominations must be
accompanied by curricula vitae.
Nomination packages should be sent to
Leah Cromwell or Maria Ellis at the
address listed in the ADDRESSES section
of this notice. Nominees are selected
based upon their individual
qualifications. Nominees for
membership must have expertise and
experience in one or more of the
following fields:
• Clinical medicine including
subspecialties
• Administrative medicine
• Public health
• Biological and physical sciences
• Epidemiology and biostatistics
• Clinical trial design
• Health care data management and
analysis
• Patient advocacy
• Health care economics
• Medical ethics
• Other relevant professions
We are looking particularly for
experts in a number of fields. These
include cancer screening, genetic
testing, clinical epidemiology,
psychopharmacology, screening and
diagnostic testing analysis, and vascular
surgery. We also need experts in
biostatistics in clinical settings,
dementia treatment, minority health,
observational research design, stroke
epidemiology, and women’s health.
The nomination letter must include a
statement that the nominee is willing to
serve as a member of the MEDCAC and
appears to have no conflict of interest
that would preclude membership. We
are requesting that all curricula vitae
include the following:
• Date of birth
• Place of birth
• Social security number
• Title and current position
• Professional affiliation
• Home and business address
• Telephone and fax numbers
• Email address
• List of areas of expertise
In the nomination letter, we are
requesting that nominees specify
whether they are applying for a patient
advocate position, for an at-large
standing position, or as an industry
representative. Potential candidates will
be asked to provide detailed information

concerning such matters as financial
holdings, consultancies, and research
grants or contracts in order to permit
evaluation of possible sources of
financial conflict of interest. Department
policy prohibits multiple committee
memberships. A federal advisory
committee member may not serve on
more than one committee within an
agency at the same time.
Members are invited to serve for
overlapping 2-year terms. A member
may continue to serve after the
expiration of the member’s term until a
successor is named. Any interested
person may nominate one or more
qualified persons. Self-nominations are
also accepted. Individuals interested in
the representative positions must
include a letter of support from the
organization or interest group they
would represent.
III. Collection of Information
This document does not impose
information collection requirements,
that is, reporting, recordkeeping or
third-party disclosure requirements.
Consequently, there is no need for
review by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On October 11, 2016, FDA published
a final guidance entitled ‘‘SelfMonitoring Blood Glucose Test Systems
for Over-the-Counter Use.’’ This
guidance document described studies
and information that FDA recommends
be used when submitting 510(k)s for
SMBGs that are for OTC home use by
lay users. FDA is now proposing to
make modifications to the final
guidance based on feedback received
from stakeholders, which the Agency
believes will better align with the
evolving understanding and
development of these types of devices.
When finalized, this draft guidance will
replace the final guidance of the same
title issued on October 11, 2016.
This draft guidance is not meant to
address BGMS that are intended for
prescription point-of-care use in
professional healthcare settings (e.g.,
hospitals, physician offices, and long
term-care facilities). FDA addresses
those device types in another guidance
entitled, ‘‘Blood Glucose Monitoring
Test Systems for Prescription Point-ofCare Use.’’
II. Significance of Guidance
This draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the current thinking of FDA
on ‘‘Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Test
Systems for Over-the-Counter Use.’’ It
does not establish any rights for any
person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative
approach if it satisfies the requirements
of the applicable statutes and
regulations. This guidance is not subject
to Executive Order 12866.
