requested by the Secretary, discuss and make recommendations regarding 
the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program or the National Cord 
Blood Inventory. It shall provide a consolidated, comprehensive source 
of expert, unbiased analysis, and recommendations to the Secretary on 
the latest advances in the science of blood stem cell transplantation 
and donation. ACBSCT may also review the state of the science, using 
adult stem cells and birthing tissues to develop new types of therapies 
for patients, to consider the potential inclusion of such new types of 
therapies in the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program.
    The charter renewal for ACBSCT was approved on February 19, 2025. 
The filing date is February 19, 2025. The renewal of the ACBSCT charter
