SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by 
the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11 
and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the 
renewal of the Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory 
Committee. The committee is a discretionary Federal advisory committee 
established to provide advice to the Commissioner. The Bone, 
Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory 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 the Food and Drug Administration 
has regulatory responsibility. The Committee reviews and evaluates data 
on the safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human 
drug products for use in the practice of osteoporosis and metabolic 
bone disease, obstetrics, gynecology, urology and related specialties, 
and makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner of Food and 
Drugs.
    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 osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, obstetrics, 
gynecology, urology, pediatrics, epidemiology, or statistics and 
related specialties. Members will be invited to serve for overlapping 
terms of up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal members of this 
committee serve as Special Government Employees. 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 member who is 
identified with industry interests.

committee name or description of duties, no amendment will be made to 
21 CFR 14.100.
