along with their current r[eacute]sum[eacute]s. The letter will also
state that it is the responsibility of the interested organizations to
confer with one another and to select a candidate, within 60 days after
the receipt of the FDA letter, to serve as the nonvoting member to

Commissioner of Food and Drugs will select the nonvoting member to
represent industry interests.
III. Application Procedure
Individuals may self-nominate and/or an organization may nominate

30 days of publication of this document (see DATES). FDA will forward
all nominations to the organizations expressing interest in
participating in the selection process for the committee. Persons who
nominate themselves as nonvoting industry representatives will not
participate in the selection process.
FDA seeks to include the views of women, and men, members of all
racial and ethnic groups, and individuals with and without disabilities
on its advisory committees and, therefore, encourages nominations of
appropriately qualified candidates from these groups.
