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 Committee. The Committee is a non-discretionary Federal 
advisory committee established to provide advice to the Commissioner.
    The Commissioner is charged with the administration of the 
Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This Act creates 
the Committee and requires the Commissioner to consult with the 
Committee before prescribing standards for radiation emissions from 
electronic products. This Committee provides advice and consultation to 
the Commissioner on the technical feasibility, reasonableness, and 
practicability of performance standards for electronic products to 
control the emission of radiation from such products and may recommend 
electronic product radiation safety standards to the Commissioner for 
consideration.
    The Committee shall consist of 15 voting members, including the 
Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or 
designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the fields of science 
or engineering applicable to electronic product radiation safety. 
Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 
years. Voting members will include five members selected from 
governmental agencies, including State and Federal Governments, five 
members from the affected industries, and five members from the general 
public, of which at least one shall be a representative of organized 
labor. A quorum shall consist of 10 members, of which at least 3 shall 
be from the general public, 3 from the government agencies, and 3 from 
the affected industries.

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

U.S.C. app.). For general information related to FDA advisory
