ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, HHS is
hereby giving notice that the Advisory Committee on Infant Mortality
has been renamed the Advisory Committee on Infant and Maternal

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vanessa Lee, MPH, Designated Federal
Official, HRSA, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ACIMM is authorized by section 222 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a), as amended. The Committee
is governed by provisions of Public Law 92-463, as amended, (5 U.S.C.
App. 2), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of
Advisory Committees. ACIMM advises the Secretary of HHS on department
activities, partnerships, policies, and programs directed at reducing
infant mortality, maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, and
improving the health status of infants and women before, during, and
after pregnancy. The Committee provides advice on how best to
coordinate federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governmental
efforts designed to improve infant mortality, related adverse birth
outcomes, and maternal health, as well as influence similar efforts in
the private and voluntary sectors. ACIMM provides guidance and
recommendations on the policies, programs, and resources required to
address the disparities and inequities in infant mortality, related
adverse birth outcomes and maternal health outcomes, including maternal
mortality and severe maternal morbidity. With its focus on underlying
causes of the disparities and inequities seen in birth outcomes for
women and infants, the Committee advises the Secretary on the health,
social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to the
inequities and proposes structural, policy, and/or systems level
changes.
The charter renewal and name change for ACIMM was approved on
September 30, 2021, which will also stand as the filing date. Renewal
of the ACIMM charter gives authorization for the ACIMM committee to
operate until September 30, 2023.
