Individual work plans for each of the Subcommittees and the Work Group on HHS Data Access and Use also will be drafted. On the first day, the Committee will focus on legislatively mandated reports and activities such as the 12th Report to Congress, the next Affordable Care Act (ACA) Review Committee hearing, and requirements set forth in ACA section 10109. Additional areas where the Committee potentially could focus its attention in 2017 and beyond also will be discussed and considered for inclusion in its work plan. On the second day, the Committee will hear input from HHS officials on the Committee's proposed work plan and potential areas in which Committee expertise and input would be useful for the Department.
