ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Office of the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is seeking nominations
for two individuals to serve as nonfederal public members on the Muscular
Dystrophy Coordinating Committee.
DATES: Nominations are due by 5:00
p.m. EDT on June 7, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Nominations must be sent
to Glen Nuckolls, Ph.D., by email to
nuckollg@ninds.nih.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Glen
Nuckolls, Ph.D., by email to nuckollg@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Muscular Dystrophy Coordinating
Committee (MDCC) is a federal advisory
committee established in accordance
with the Muscular Dystrophy
Community Assistance, Research, and
Education Amendments of 2001 (MD–
CARE Act; Pub. L. 107–84). The MD–
CARE Act was reauthorized in 2008 by
Public Law 110–361, and again in 2014
by Public Law 113–166. The MD–CARE
Act specifies that the committee
membership be composed of 2⁄3
governmental agency representatives
and 1⁄3 public members. We are seeking
nominations for two non-federal public
members at this time, due to turnover of
committee membership. Nominations
will be accepted between May 7 and
June 7, 2021.
Who is Eligible: Nominations are
encouraged for new or reappointment of
non-federal public members who can
provide the public and/or patient
perspectives to discussions of issues
considered by the Committee. Selfnominations and nominations of other
individuals are both permitted. Only
one nomination per individual is
required. Multiple nominations for the
same individual will not increase
likelihood of selection. Non-federal
public members may be selected from

the pool of submitted nominations or
other sources as needed to meet
statutory requirements and to form a
balanced committee that represents the
diversity within the muscular dystrophy
communities. Nominations are
especially encouraged from leaders or
representatives of muscular dystrophy
research, advocacy, or service
organizations, as well as individuals
with muscular dystrophy or their
parents or guardians. In accordance
with White House Office of
Management and Budget guidelines (FR
Doc. 2014–19140), federally-registered
lobbyists are not eligible.
Committee Composition: The
Department strives to ensure that the
membership of HHS Federal advisory
committees is fairly balanced in terms of
points of view represented and the
committee’s function. Every effort is
made to ensure that the views of all
genders, 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 the basis of age, race,
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
disability, and cultural, religious, or
socioeconomic status. Requests for
reasonable accommodation to enable
participation on the Committee should
be indicated in the nomination
submission.
Member Terms: Non-Federal public
members of the Committee serve for a
term of 3 years and may serve for an
unlimited number of terms if
reappointed. Members may serve after
the expiration of their terms, until their
successors have taken office.
Meetings and Travel: As specified by
Public Law 113–166, the MDCC ‘‘shall
meet no fewer than two times per
calendar year.’’ Travel expenses are
provided for non-federal public
Committee members to facilitate
attendance at in-person meetings.
Members are expected to make every
effort to attend all full committee
meetings, twice per year, either in
person or via remote access.
Participation in relevant subcommittee,
working and planning group meetings,
and workshops, is also encouraged.
Submission Instructions and
Deadline: Nominations are due by 5:00
p.m. EDT on June 7, 2021, and should
be sent to Glen Nuckolls, Ph.D., by
email to nuckollg@ninds.nih.gov.
