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 Cardiovascular and 
Renal Drugs 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 available data concerning the 
safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug 
products for use in the treatment of cardiovascular and renal disorders 
and makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner.
    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 cardiology, hypertension, arrhythmia, angina, congestive 
heart failure, diuresis, and biostatistics. 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

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.
