The range of policy issues that the

Nominations
The Office of Public Health and
Science is seeking nominations to fill
several positions on the ACBSA that are
scheduled to be vacated on September

from both classifications—the public
members and the representative

To qualify for consideration as a
public member, individuals should
possess authoritative knowledge in
blood banking, transfusion medicine,
plasma therapies, bioethics, and/or
related disciplines. Public members will
be selected from the categories
previously described.
The terms of appointment for the
representative member of the following
also are scheduled to end: a trade
organization or manufacturer of blood
test kits or equipment, a company that
produces leukoreduction processes, a
major hospital organization that
purchases blood and blood products,
and a plasma protein therapeutic
association. This notice is intended to
solicit nominations from the blood and
blood products industry and
professional organizations of qualified
candidates to serve as official
representatives for the specified interest
groups or industry.
Individuals are invited to serve as
members of the Committee for
overlapping three year terms. Public
members of the Committee receive a
stipend for attending Committee
meetings, as well as for conducting
other business in the interest of the
Committee.
Pursuant to advance written
agreement, members who are appointed
as representatives of a particular interest
group or industry serve without
compensation. All members are
authorized to receive prescribed per
diem allowances and reimbursement for
expenses incurred when performing
travel to conduct Committee-related
business matters.
Nominations should be typewritten.
The following information should be
included in the package of material
submitted for each individual being
nominated for consideration: (1) A letter
of nomination that clearly states the
name and affiliation of the nominee, the
basis for the nomination (i.e., specific
attributes which qualify the nominee for
service in this capacity), and a statement
that the nominee is willing to serve as
PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\03MYN1.SGM
a member of the Committee; (2) the
nominator’s name, address, and daytime

or work address, telephone number and
e-mail address of the person being
nominated; and (3) a current copy of the
nominee’s curriculum vitae. The names
of Federal employees should not be
nominated for consideration of
appointment for this Committee.
The Department makes every effort to
ensure that membership of DHHS
Federal advisory committees is fairly
balanced in terms of points of view
represented and the committee’s
function. Every effort is made to ensure
that a broad representation of
geographic areas, females, ethnic and
minority groups, and the disabled are
given consideration for membership on
DHHS Federal advisory committees.
Appointment to this Committee shall be
made without discrimination on the
basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender,
sexual orientation, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status.
Nominations must state that the
nominee is willing to serve as a member
of ACBSA and appears to have no
conflict of interest that would preclude
membership. An ethics review is
conducted for each selected candidate.
Therefore, individuals selected for
nomination will be required to provide
detailed information concerning such
matters as financial holdings,
consultancies, and research grants or
contracts to permit evaluation of
possible sources of conflict of interest.
