SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a
tentative schedule of forthcoming meetings of its public advisory

Food and Drugs (the Commissioner), the Institute of Medicine (the IOM)
conducted a study of the use of FDA's advisory committees. In its final
report, one of the IOM's recommendations was for the agency to publish
an annual tentative schedule of its meetings in the Federal Register.
This publication implements the IOM's recommendation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna M. Combs, Committee Management
Office (HFA-306), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IOM, at the request of the Commissioner,
undertook a study of the use of FDA's advisory committees. In its final
report in 1992, one of the IOM's recommendations was for FDA to adopt a
policy of publishing an advance yearly schedule of its upcoming public
advisory committee meetings in the
[[Page 77637]]
Federal Register and FDA implemented the recommendation. The annual
publication of tentatively scheduled advisory committee meetings will
provide both advisory committee members and the public with the
opportunity, in advance, to schedule attendance at FDA's upcoming
advisory committee meetings. Since the schedule is tentative,
amendments to this notice will not be published in the Federal
Register. However, changes to the schedule will be posted on the FDA
Advisory Committees' home page located at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/oc/advisory/default.htm. The FDA will continue to publish a Federal Register notice
15 days in advance of each upcoming advisory committee meeting, to
announce the meeting (21 CFR 14.20).

committee meetings for 2001. You may also obtain up-to-date meeting
