The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has issued a notice seeking nominations for membership on the Mine Safety and Health Research Advisory Committee (MSHRAC), operating under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). MSHRAC is composed of 10 subject-matter experts with backgrounds in mining safety and health research and practice. The committee advises CDC and its National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on research priorities and programs related to the safety and health of mine workers. Qualified individuals with expertise in occupational health, mining engineering, toxicology, epidemiology, or related fields are encouraged to submit nominations. Both self-nominations and third-party nominations are typically accepted under FACA guidelines. This notice is a procedural step to ensure the committee maintains qualified membership. Appointments are made by the HHS Secretary, and selected members serve fixed terms in accordance with federal advisory committee regulations.
