The next cycle of selection of candidates will begin in the Winter of 2011, for selection of potential nominees to replace members whose terms will end on March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 respectively.

Selection of members is based on candidates' qualifications to contribute to the accomplishment of BCCEDCAC objectives (http://www.cdc.gov/maso/FACM/facmBCCEDCAC.htm). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy stipulates that committee membership shall be balanced in terms of professional training and background, points of view represented, and the committee's function. Consideration is given to a broad representation of geographic areas within the U.S., with diverse representation of both genders, ethnic and racial minorities, and persons with disabilities. Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time employees of the U.S. Government.

Candidates should submit the following items:

Current curriculum vitae or resume, including complete contact information (telephone numbers, fax number, mailing address, e- mail address).

At least one letter of recommendation from a person(s) not employed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Candidates may submit letter(s) from current HHS employees if they wish, but at least one letter must be submitted by a person not employed by HHS.

Nominations should be submitted (postmarked or received) by October 1, 2011.

Electronic submission: You may submit nominations, including attachments, electronically to JBlackmon@cdc.gov.

Nominations may be submitted by the candidate or by the person/ organization recommending the candidate.

Candidates invited to serve will be asked to submit the

``Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention.'' This form allows CDC to determine whether there is a statutory conflict between that person's public responsibilities as a Special Government Employee and private interests and activities, or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined by Federal regulation. The form may be viewed and downloaded at http://www.usoge.gov/forms/oge450_pdf/oge450_accessible.pdf.

This form should not be submitted as part of a nomination.

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 both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Agency for

Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
