Request for Nominations of Candidates To Serve on the Mine Safety 
and Health Research Advisory Committee (MSHRAC), National Institute for 
Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services

    The CDC is soliciting nominations for possible membership on the 
Mine Safety and Health Research Advisory Committee (MSHRAC), National 
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
    The MSHRAC consists of 13 experts in fields related to mining 
safety and health. The members are selected by the Secretary of the 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The committee 
advises the NIOSH Director on mining safety and health research and 
prevention programs. The committee also provides advice on standards of 
scientific excellence, current needs in the field of mining safety and 
health, and the applicability and dissemination of research findings. 
This advice may take the form of reports or verbal communications to 
the NIOSH Director during MSHRAC meetings.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and 
qualifications necessary to contribute to the accomplishment of the 
committee's mission.
    Nominees will be selected based on expertise in the field of mining 
safety and health, such as mining engineering, industrial hygiene, 
occupational safety and health engineering, chemistry, safety and 
health education, ergonomics, epidemiology, statistics, and psychology. 
Members may be invited to serve for terms of up to four years.
    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy stipulates 
that Committee membership be balanced in terms of points of view 
represented, and the committee's function. Appointments shall be made 
without discrimination on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender, 
sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV status, disability, and 
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status. Nominees must be U.S. 
citizens, and cannot be full-time employees of the U.S. Government. 
Current participation on federal workgroups or prior experience serving 
on a federal advisory committee does not disqualify a candidate; 
however, HHS policy is to avoid excessive individual service on 
advisory committees and multiple committee memberships. Committee 
members are Special Government Employees, requiring the filing of 
financial disclosure reports at the beginning and annually during their 
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates for the MSHRAC membership each 
year, and provides a slate of nominees for consideration to the 
Secretary of HHS for final selection.
    Candidates should submit the following items:
     Current curriculum vitae, including complete contact 
information (name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, 
email address)
     A letter of recommendation stating the qualifications of 
the candidate.
    Nomination materials must be postmarked by April 30, 2017, and sent 
to: Jeffrey H. Welsh, Designated Federal Officer for MSHRAC, NIOSH, 
CDC, 626 Cochrans Mill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, telephone (412) 386-
4040.
    The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, has been 
delegated the authority to sign Federal Register Notices pertaining to 
announcements of meetings and other committee management activities, 
for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
