in Newborns and Children
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)
and the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, HHS is hereby giving notice
that the Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and
Children (ACHDNC) has been renewed. The effective date of the charter
renewal is November 10, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Soohyun Kim, Acting Designated Federal
Official, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, HRSA, 5600 Fishers Lane,
18N38A, Rockville, Maryland 20857; 301-594-4202; or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#790a12101439110b0a18571e160f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ccbfa7a5a18ca4bebfade2aba3ba">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACHDNC provides advice and
recommendations to the Secretary of HHS (Secretary) on policy, program
development, and other matters of significance concerning the
activities under section 1111 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 300b-10). The
ACHDNC is also governed by the provisions of the FACA, as amended (5
U.S.C. App.), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of
advisory committees. The ACHDNC advises the Secretary on the
development of newborn screening activities, technologies, policies,
guidelines, and programs for effectively reducing morbidity and
mortality in newborns and children having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. The ACHDNC reviews and reports regularly on newborn and
childhood screening practices, recommends improvements in the national
newborn and childhood screening programs, and fulfills requirements
stated in the authorizing legislation. In addition, the ACHDNC's
recommendations regarding inclusion of additional conditions for
screening on the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel, following
adoption by the Secretary, are evidence-informed preventive health
services provided for in the comprehensive guidelines supported by HRSA
pursuant to section 2713 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-13). Under
this provision, non-grandfathered group health plans and health
insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group or individual health
insurance are required to provide insurance coverage without cost-
sharing (a co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible) for preventive
services for plan years (i.e., policy years) beginning on or after the
date that is 1 year from the Secretary's adoption of the condition for
screening. The charter renewal for the ACHDNC was approved on November
4, 2022. The filing date for the ACHDNC charter renewal is November 10,
2022. Renewal of the ACHDNC charter gives authorization for the
committee to operate until November 10, 2024.
