During its June 2, 2016, meeting, the STAC formed two workgroups to further explore the Administrator’s charges to the Committee. One workgroup is reviewing the Policies and Procedures used to add health conditions to the list of covered conditions. The second workgroup is exploring methods for identifying independent peer reviewers when the Administrator proposes to add a health condition to the list of covered conditions. The workgroup’s meetings are listed below. Although the workgroup meetings are not open to the public, the workgroups will report their findings during a full STAC meeting which is open to the public. In this open meeting, the STAC will discuss each workgroup’s findings, develop recommendations, and vote on the recommendations.
