SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by
the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11
and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the
renewal of the Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory
Committee. The committee is a discretionary Federal advisory committee
established to provide advice to the Commissioner. The Peripheral and
Central Nervous System 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 data
concerning the safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational
human drug products for use in the treatment of neurologic diseases.
The Committee shall consist of a core of nine voting members
including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the
Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the
fields of neurology, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, otolaryngology,
epidemiology or statistics, and related specialties. Members will be
invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 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.

or by contacting the Designated Federal Officer (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT). In light of the fact that no change has been made
to the committee name or description of duties, no amendment will be
made to 21 CFR 14.100.
This document is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app.). For general information related to FDA advisory
