SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As outlined in its Charter, the National 
Committee on Vital and Health Statistics assists and advises the 
Secretary of HHS on health data, data standards, statistics, privacy, 
national health information policy, and the Department's strategy to 
best address those issues. The original authorities of NCVHS are 
described at 42 U.S. Code 242k. Additional authorities were added by 
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA, 
Pub. L. 104-191, 110 Stat. 1936, Aug. 21, 1996), under which NCVHS 
advises the Secretary on administrative simplification standards, 
including those for privacy, security, adoption and implementation of 
transaction standards, unique identifiers, code sets, and operating 
rules adopted under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
(ACA, Pub. L. 111-148, 124 Stat, 119, Mar. 23, 2010). Included in HIPAA 
is the statutory reporting requirement that the Committee submit to 
Congress and make public, a report regarding the implementation of part 
C of title XI of the Social Security Act.
    Purpose: The purpose of the Joint Meeting of the Subcommittee on 
Privacy, Confidentiality and Security and the Subcommittee on Standards 
is to gather information and plan for upcoming projects. There will be 
a panel on privacy and security in health data access with invited 
experts. The agenda will also include updates from the Department, an 
update on the ongoing work of the ICD-11 Workgroup, and preparation for 
the upcoming work of the Subcommittee on Standards and a celebration of 
the 75th anniversary of the Committee.
    The Committee will reserve time on the agenda for public comment. 
Meeting times and topics are subject to change. Please refer to the
