                SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the
                Department of Health and Human Services is hereby giving notice that
                the charter for the Advisory Committee on Organ Transplantation (ACOT
                or Committee) is renewed. The effective date of the renewed charter is
                August 31, 2024.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shelley Tims Grant, Division of

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ACOT provides advice and recommendations to
                the Secretary of Health and Human Services on policy, program
                development, and other matters of significance concerning the
                activities under 42 U.S.C. 217a; Section 222 of the Public Health
                Service Act, as amended. ACOT provides advice and recommendations on
                proposed or implemented Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
                policies (including those related to organ donation, procurement,
                allocation, transplantation, patient safety, and data collection, among
                other policy topics), and on such other matters that the Secretary of
                Health and Human Services determines. ACOT ensures checks and balances,
                transparency, and a focus on patient-centered practices. The topics
                covered by ACOT may be broad and cross-sectional. The renewed charter for ACOT was approved on August 9, 2024. The
                filing date is August 31, 2024. Renewal of the ACOT charter gives
                authorization for the Committee to operate until August 31, 2026. A copy of the ACOT charter is available on the ACOT website at
                https://www.hrsa.gov/advisory-committees/organ-transplantation. A copy
