SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by 
the Department of Health and Human Services and by the General Services 
Administration, FDA is announcing the renewal of the Anesthetic and 
Analgesic Drug Products 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 available data concerning the 
safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug 
products including analgesics, e.g., abuse-deterrent opioids, novel 
analgesics, and issues related to opioid abuse, and those for use in 
anesthesiology 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 anesthesiology, analgesics (such as: Abuse deterrent opioids, 
novel analgesics, and issues related to opioid abuse), epidemiology or 
statistics, and related specialties. Members will be invited to serve 
for overlapping terms of up to 4 years. Non-federal members of the 
committee will serve as Special Government Employees, representatives 
or Ex-Officio members. Federal members will serve as Regular Government 
Employees or Ex-Officios. 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.

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.
