SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Presidential Advisory Council on
Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB), established by
Executive Order 13676, is continued by section 505 of Public Law 116-
22, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation
Act of 2019 (PAHPAIA). Activities and duties of the PACCARB are
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 Federal advisory committees.
FACA stipulates that the charter for a Federal advisory committee must
be renewed every two years.
The PACCARB shall advise and provide information and
recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(Secretary) regarding programs and policies intended to reduce or
combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria that may present a public health
threat and improve capabilities to prevent, diagnose, mitigate, or
treat such resistance. The PACCARB shall function solely for advisory
purposes.
Such advice, information, and recommendations may be related to
improving: the effectiveness of antibiotics; research and advanced
research on, and the development of, improved and innovative methods
for combating or reducing antibiotic resistance, including new
treatments, rapid point-of-care diagnostics, alternatives to
antibiotics, including alternatives to animal antibiotics, and
antimicrobial stewardship activities; surveillance of antibiotic-
resistant bacterial infections, including publicly available and up-to-
date information on resistance to antibiotics; education for health
care providers and the public with respect to up-to-date information on
antibiotic resistance and ways to reduce or combat such resistance to
antibiotics related to humans and animals; methods to prevent or reduce
the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections;
including stewardship programs; and coordination with respect to
international efforts in order to inform and advance the United States
capabilities to combat antibiotic resistance.
On August 29, 2024, the Secretary of Health and Human Services
approved the renewal of the PACCARB's charter. The new charter was
executed and filed with the appropriate Congressional committees and
the Library of Congress on August 29, 2024. The renewal of the
[[Page 80575]]
charter gives the PACCARB authorization to operate until August 29,
2026.
A copy of the charter is available on the PACCARB's website at:
