Office of the Director; Notice of Establishment
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5
U.S.C. App.), the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH),
announces the establishment of the National Asthma Education Prevention
Program Coordinating Committee (NAEPP) as required by 424B of the
Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 285b-7b, as amended.
The NAEPP's primary mission is to provide advice to the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute on matters concerning asthma and to
facilitate the efficient and effective exchange of information on
asthma activities among the member agencies and voluntary health
organizations in order to enhance coordination of asthma-related
programs and activities. The NAEPP will assist in increasing public
understanding of the member agencies' activities, programs, policies,
and research and will serve as a public forum for discussion of issues
related to asthma.
It is determined that the NAEPP is in the public interest in
connection with the performance of duties imposed on the NIH by
statute, and that these duties can best be performed through the advice
and counsel of this group.
Inquires may be directed to Jennifer Spaeth, Director, Office of
