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 is a discretionary Federal advisory committee 
established to provide advice to the Commissioner.
    The Bone, Reproductive and Urologic 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 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.
    Under its Charter, 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 representative member 
who is identified with industry interests. There may also be an 
alternate industry representative.

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.
