prepares an annual report describing the activities of the Committee, 
including findings and recommendations made by the Committee concerning 
the activities under section 747, as well as training programs in oral 
health and dentistry. The annual report is submitted to the Secretary 
and Chairman and ranking members of the Senate Committee on Health, 
Education, Labor and Pensions, and the House of Representatives 
Committee on Energy and Commerce. The Committee also develops, 
publishes, and implements performance measures and guidelines for 
longitudinal evaluations of programs authorized under Title VII, Part 
C, of the PHS Act, and recommends appropriation levels for programs 
under this Part.
    During the September 10-11, 2018, meeting, ACTPCMD will have 
follow-up discussions on PHS Act section 747 and oral health training 
programs, and finalize its recommendations on funding and appropriation 
levels to be included in its 16th report. In addition, the Committee 
will complete the 16th report and a pending report on promoting 
clinical trainee and faculty well-being and mitigating burnout. Agenda 
items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
    Members of the public will have the opportunity to provide 
comments. Public participants may submit written statements in advance 
of the scheduled meeting. Oral comments will be honored in the order
