SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Arthritis Advisory Committee was 
established on April 5, 1974 (39 FR 14737-14738), to advise the 
Commissioner or designee in discharging responsibilities as they relate 
to helping to ensure safe and effective drugs for human use in 
arthritic conditions, and as required, any other product for which FDA 
has regulatory responsibility. This Committee has met infrequently in 
recent years, and FDA has determined that the effort and expense of

maintaining the Committee is no longer justified. This Committee is 
therefore terminated, effective on July 30, 2025, in accordance with 21 
CFR 14.55. This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act of October 6, 1972 (Pub. L. 92-463) (5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.). 
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing a 
final rule announcing the removal of the Arthritis Advisory Committee 
from the Agency's list of standing advisory committees.

    Dated: July 25, 2025.
Grace R. Graham,
Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
