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 Allergenic 
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 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 allergy, immunology, pediatrics, internal medicine, 
biochemistry, 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.
    The Commissioner or designee shall have the authority to select 
members of other scientific and technical FDA advisory committees 
(normally not to exceed 10 members) to serve temporarily as voting 
members and to designate consultants to serve temporarily as voting 
members when: (1) expertise is required that is not available among 
current voting standing members of the Committee (when additional 
voting members are added to the Committee to provide needed expertise, 
a quorum will be based on the combined total of regular and added 
members), or (2) to comprise a quorum when, because of unforeseen 
circumstances, a quorum is or will be lacking. Because of the size of 
the Committee and the variety in the types of issues that it will 
consider, FDA may, in connection with a particular committee meeting, 
specify a quorum that is less than a majority of the current voting 
members. The Agency's regulations (21 CFR 14.22(d)) authorize a 
committee charter to specify quorum requirements.
    If functioning as a medical device panel, a non-voting 
representative of consumer interests and a non-voting representative of 
industry interests will be included in addition to the voting members.
    Further information regarding the most recent charter and other 
information can be found at <a href="https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/allergenic-products-advisory-committee/charter-allergenic-products-advisory-committee">https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/allergenic-products-advisory-committee/charter-allergenic-products-advisory-committee</a> 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

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
