p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

ADDRESSES: We encourage members of the public to attend the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), and section 2811A of the 
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300hh-10a), as added by section 
103 of the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 
2013 (Pub. L. 113-5), the HHS Secretary, in consultation with the 
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, established the 
NACCD. The purpose of the NACCD is to provide advice and consultation 
to the HHS Secretary with respect to the medical and public health 
needs of children in relation to disasters.
    The NPRSB is authorized under Section 319M of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 247d-7f), as added by section 402 of the 
Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 and amended by 
section 404 of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness 
Reauthorization Act, and by Section 222 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 
217a). The Board is governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. App.), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of 
advisory committees. The NPRSB provides expert advice and guidance on 
scientific, technical, and other matters of special interest to the 
Department regarding current and future chemical, biological, nuclear, 
and radiological agents, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or 
deliberate.
    Background: The May 10, 2018, NACCD and NPRSB Public Teleconference 
is dedicated to the presentation, deliberation, and vote on re-tasking 
the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Future 
Strategies Work Group (FSWG) as a joint task between the NACCD and 
NPRSB. Established under the NPRSB in 2014, the FSWG identified future 
strategies that can best support successful achievement of the ASPR's 
and HHS's mission for preparedness, response, and recovery. In 
addition, the ASPR FSWG provides prioritized recommendations for 
guiding current efforts toward future strategies by examining such 
items as ASPR's current mission, strategic objectives, resources, and 
capabilities against projected futures. In 2017, the NACCD established 
the ASPR Future Strategies for Children Working Group with the aim of 
identifying future strategies to advance the ASPR's mission as it 
relates to infants, children, and teens. The joint tasking of the FSWG 
will enable members of the NPRSB and NACCD to collaborate on areas of 
shared responsibility with regard to future strategies for preparedness 
and response. We will post modifications to the agenda on the NACCD and 
NPRSB May 10, 2018, teleconference websites, which are located at 
https://www.phe.gov/naccd and https://www.phe.gov/nprsb.
    Availability of Materials: We will post all teleconference 
materials prior to the teleconference on May 10, 2018, at the websites 
located at https://www.phe.gov/naccd and https://www.phe.gov/nprsb.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Members of the public may 
attend the teleconference via a toll-free call-in phone number, which 
is available on the NACCD and the NPRSB websites at https://www.phe.gov/naccd and https://www.phe.gov/nprsb.
    We encourage members of the public to provide written comments that 
are relevant to the NACCD and NPRSB teleconference prior to May 10, 
2018. Send written comments by email to [email protected] with ``NACCD 
Public Comment'' in the subject line or to [email protected] with ``NPRSB

Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
