    This gives notice under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L.

with respect to the prevention and control of injuries. On October 28, 
1994, ACIPC was reestablished under statute.
    The responsibilities of ACIPC have been assumed by the BSC, NCIPC. 
By assuming the statutorily mandated responsibilities of ACIPC, the
