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 Arthritis 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 concerning the safety and
effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products for
use in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, and related diseases,
and makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner.
Pursuant to 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 arthritis, rheumatology, orthopedics,
epidemiology or statistics, analgesics, and related specialties.
Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4
years. Non-Federal members of this 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 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, an additional non-voting
representative member of consumer interests and an additional non-
voting representative member of industry interests will be included in
addition to the voting members.

information can be found at <a href="https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/human-drug-advisory-committees/arthritis-advisory-committee">https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/human-drug-advisory-committees/arthritis-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 notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act as
amended (5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq). For general information related to FDA
advisory committees, please visit us at <a href="http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm">http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm</a>.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
