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 Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee 
(the Committee). The Committee is a discretionary Federal advisory 
committee established to provide advice to the Commissioner.
    The 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 FDA 
has regulatory responsibility.
    The Committee reviews and evaluates data on the safety and 
effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products for 
use in the practice of osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, 
obstetrics, gynecology, urology, and related specialties, and makes 
appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner.
    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 osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, obstetrics, 
gynecology, urology, pediatrics, 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.

information can be found at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/ReproductiveHealthDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/ucm107572.htm 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
