DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Food and Drug Administration
Advisory Committees; Tentative Schedule of Meetings for 2006
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a
tentative schedule of forthcoming meetings of its public advisory
committees for 2006. During 1991, at the request of the Commissioner of
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: Theresa L. Green, Advisory Committee
Oversight and Management Staff (HF-4), Food and Drug Administration,
5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-1220.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IOM, at the request of the Commissioner,
undertook a study of the use of the 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 Federal Register; FDA has
implemented this 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.
Because the schedule is tentative, amendments to this notice will not
be published in the Federal Register.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' Internet site 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. 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).
The following list announces FDA's tentatively schedule advisory
committee meeting for 2006. You may also obtain up-to-date information
by calling the Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138
