Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 214 / Wednesday, November 4, 2020 / Notices
(PHS) Act, as amended. The Committee
is governed by the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), Public Law 92–463, as
amended (5 U.S.C. App.), which sets
forth standards for the formation and
use of advisory committees. The
ACBTSA advises, assists, consults with,
and makes policy recommendations to
the Secretary, through the Assistant
Secretary for Health, regarding broad
responsibilities related to the safety of
blood, blood products, tissues, and
organs. For solid organs and blood stem
cells, the Committee’s work is limited to
policy issues related to donor derived
infectious disease complications of
transplantation.
To carry out its mission, the ACBTSA
provides advice to the Secretary through
the Assistant Secretary for Health on a
range of policy issues which includes:
(1) Identification of public health issues
through surveillance of blood and tissue
safety issues with national biovigilance
data tools; (2) identification of public
health issues that affect availability of
blood, blood products, and tissues; (3)
broad public health, ethical, and legal
issues related to the safety of blood,
blood products, and tissues; (4) the
impact of various economic factors (e.g.,
product cost and supply) on safety and
availability of blood, blood products,
and tissues; (5) risk communications
related to blood transfusion and tissue
transplantation; and (6) identification of
infectious disease transmission issues
for blood, organs, blood stem cells and
tissues.
On October 9, 2020, the Secretary
approved for the ACBTSA charter to be
renewed. The new charter was effected
and filed with the appropriate
Congressional committees and the
Library of Congress on October 9, 2020.
Renewal of the Committee’s charter
gives authorization for the Committee to
continue to operate until October 9,
2022.
