SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Issued in 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by
the Department of Health and Human Services issued in 45 CFR part 11
and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the
renewal of the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee. The
committee is a discretionary Federal advisory committee established to
provide advice to the Commissioner. The Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs
Advisory Committee advises the Commissioner or designee in discharging
responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe and effective
drugs for human use and, as required, any other product for which the
Food and Drug Administration has regulatory responsibility. The
Committee reviews and evaluates available data concerning the safety
and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products
for use in the treatment of pulmonary disease and diseases with
allergic and/or immunologic mechanisms and makes appropriate
recommendations to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
The Committee shall consist of a core of 11 voting members
including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the
Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the
fields of pulmonary medicine, allergy, clinical immunology, and
epidemiology or statistics. Members will be invited to serve for
overlapping terms of up to four years. Almost all non-Federal members
of this committee serve as Special Government Employees. The core of
voting members may include one technically qualified member, selected
by the Commissioner or designee, who is identified with consumer
interests and is recommended by either a consortium of consumer-
oriented organizations or other interested persons. In addition to the
voting members, the Committee may include one non-voting member who is
identified with industry interests.

Designated Federal Officer (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). Since
no change has been made to the committee name or description of duties,
no amendment will be made to 21 CFR 14.100.

U.S.C. app.). For general information related to FDA advisory
