for up-to-date information on these meetings. A notice in the Federal

enough to provide timely notice.
Agenda: The workgroups will be discussing issues related to their
specific subject matter, e.g., meaningful use, the NHIN, privacy and
security, enrollment, or adoption/certification. If background
materials are associated with the workgroup meetings, they will be
posted on ONC's Web site prior to the meeting at http://healthit.hhs.gov.
Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the workgroups.
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before two
days prior to the workgroups' meeting date. Oral comments from the
public will be scheduled at the conclusion of each workgroup meeting.
Time allotted for each presentation will be limited to three minutes.
If the number of speakers requesting to comment is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public session, ONC
will take written comments after the meeting until close of business on
that day.
If you require special accommodations due to a disability, please
contact Judy Sparrow at least seven (7) days in advance of the meeting.
ONC is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory committee
meetings. Please visit our Web site at http://healthit.hhs.gov for
